Engaging content and excellent delivery!

The difficulty level is easy (if you have been involved in spreadsheet analytics). My advice, if the content is familiar, it's efficient to go directly to course challenges and then go for the content to focus on areas which you believe you need to work on.

The course itself is excellent. I made a mistake by skipping the 3rd module and going straight from 2 to 4. I still do not understand how. And for that reason module 4 was difficult for me. You could not explain better all issues. I'm happy for my decision of taking this course!

Excellent course on getting your hand on data analytics! The preparation of data is just as important as the actual analysis itself. It is nice to learn the principles and strategies for data cleansing so that the analysis can be built upon a solid, meaningful structure.

As a beginner, I would recommend this course because you gain some hands-on experience with writing basic queries, which I found both challenging and fun. After writing basic queries, it allows you to run to find what criteria you are looking for within the database.
