This course should have been titled "How to work in an office at Google". While that's something good to know even if you're not going to work for Google, it doesn't really cover the "Foundations of Data Science" in any meaningful way. Further, the course was full of errors, ambiguities, and things that would only apply in a select few office environments. The quizes seemed to have been designed by someone only familiar with this specific course material and not the subject in general (leading to the above-mentioned errors, ambiguities, etc.) I'm hoping the rest of this certificate program is *much* better as this course was really disappointing.

Foundations of Data Science is misleading (It's foundations of Data analysis). Also to not be able to get the certificate until you pay is irking. Also found some brain washing in the course particularly with coaching. I do like the PACE structure and the communication part.

The course seemed completely useless to me. Very little attention to technical subjects and a lot of unnecessary useless information. Perhaps this is my personal problem, but I formed some expectations based on a course syllabus that were not met.

instead of giving technical tools, this course “talk” about how to become data analyst with many unrelevent data, they also invented” PACE ‘ instead of the steps learned in the basic proficiency

Interactive but very lengthy for no reason. They expanded 4 topics (PACE, RACI matrix, Project proposal and Executive Summaries) into 5 modules. Hoping for better.

This is very obvious stuff for what is the ADVANCED certificate. It felt like a waste of time for the most part, but the PACE model was okay.

Format for South African national ID is wrong

I liked the PACE module, Informative and nice to know, rest are not so intriguing and instead of focusing just on diversity and other trendy things stick to your primary role which is tutoring as best as you can to uphold the brand's name your carrying! I cannot believe that you just putted some soulless reading from teleprompt some boring texts! put some professional adult who has knowledge and can explain form his experience and understanding instead of trying just to act and smile!

That was by far the least interesting course in all the courses I've attended with Google. the whole presentation of the PACE stuff could have been done in a 10-minute presentation. It didn't take tedious hours in front of the computer for something that simple that anyone who has worked in an office would understand. This course is to be skipped and I hope the next ones will make more sense.

If you want to learn something in the most unoptimized manner, then this is the course for you. It wastes so much time on useless things, on useless theory, like how to communicate within the team, with the client, and stakeholders, and many other such topics, which are not at all needed and should be optional in Appendix or something.

That is not foundations of data science. That's more like a discussion on data science and what people do. Nothing more than that. The whole thing could be done in a 10-minute video. Quite a few repetitions.

i foud the module completely useless based on the fact that i signed for and avanced analytics course. Hope to see something better n the next modules

Haven't been able to get hold of the certificate as my verification is still pending after multiple tries.

very basic and not related to technical knowledge what is actually required for a job seeker

Not necessary for people with experience. Just long videos and repetitive content

I found this to be uninteresting. This is a recruitment course for Google.

I think a lot of this is un needed and can be skipped

my name is not on the certificate

too basic in the name of advanced
