The Skill of asking the right questions is usually very underrated and many people just overlook it. That's why I'm appreciative of google for teaching this core skill and making it super interesting.

I just finished the 2nd Course in the Google Data Analyst course - even though I have experience in the field, this course reminded of areas that I should focus on and work to strengthen my skills in.

A lot of this course was fundamentals, but it is always good to go back and review the fundamentals to refresh anything that you may have forgotten. The instructor of the course is funny and engaging, too, which helps with what could be mundane topics.

This course was a really good intro overview to using spreadsheets, but the most valuable part of this course was the soft skills for the workplace. Discussing how to prepare for meetings, team communication and conflict resolution was very helpful.

This is a great course with very good instructors. They seem excited to teach and explain things very well.

The Avanced Data Analysis by Google is the Opposite. I didn't learn much at all and the instructors sucked! Hard to understand and boring.

I had a lot of fun learning in this course especially because I did not feel rushed and had time to work and balance life unlike traditional schooling. I recommended this course for people like me that thrive in online non-live learning course.
