Enjoyed a lot. Data bias, data credibility, types of data, sorting and filtering of data and many more things were learned. Suggest new users take up this part of the Professional certificate a bit slowly if you don't have prior knowledge about data.

Coursera allows me the space to make mistakes, directs me to previous learnings to go back to in my modules so that I can soak things up again to succeed. The course has been very digestible and really a great opportunity to expand my learnings

This course is very beginner friendly. I recommend it to anyone with zero knowledge of data analysis wanting to get started with a career in the data field.

Also, the instructors right from Course 1 have been nothing short of amazing.

Great course! My only complaint is that I don't think anyone with an analytical mind would enjoy using LinkedIn. That site is a disorganized mess filled with insurance sales people trying to get you to go to "free lunch" meetings.

It thouroghtly covers all that one pursuing data analyst course must know about preparing data for exploration. Instructor took her time to explain the main points with fitting examples and the practice sessions were good enough.
