I loved this course because it introduced me to Kaggle and BigQuery. I will say this course went from zero to 60 faster than a Hellcat but I enjoyed every second of it. I am anxious to put my new skills to work and practice SQL.

I really like the way she sounded. it wasn't too fast or too slow. Unlike the other speakers where I has to increase the time speed just to be able to appreciate what their saying.

Thanks for this opportunity <3
