Some of the questions on the weekly and course challenges require deductions that are not explained in the suggested feedback. For example the feedback for the following question is not clear. I know this has to do with stakeholders but there is no section on "key people data analysts work with" so it is hard to find the right section to review.

The people who are familiar with a problem and help verify the results of data analysis include customers and competitors.

Review the section on the key people data analysts work with for a refresher.

Wow, just awesome, took me a complete beginner from the very roots, got me hooked up to it, got so passionate about analytics, excited about the following courses, wanting to devote more time and see it to the end.

The professionalism in the manner at which the course was systematically arranged is just amazing, the mixture of writes ups and videos, everything so synchronized that nothing could have got better.

I must give it a 100% rating. Thanks to the entire team for such an epic course packed with loads of benefits sufficient enough to get a beginner all soaked in.

It's such a complete, unbiased, complex, intuitive, and ergonomic course give by amazing instructors that come from many different backgrounds that I was so happy to learn from and empathize with them. The connection I felt throughout this course kept me engaged and hungry for knowledge. I'm so happy Google's creating such valuable and important courses. They are the highlight of my days and I wish so many people can benefit from this amazing content. It's invaluable to learn while being so happy and connected to the content you're engaging with. Thank you Google!

The Google Foundations: Data, Data, Everywhere; Definitely worth doing, but be prepared for a bigger challenge than expected! This course really opens up some fascinating conversations around data science, analytics, and engineering. In addition, you'll gain an introduction to SQL and Excel/Sheet programming. While I admittedly rushed through the material (as I do with most things), I highly recommend taking the time to fully grasp Google's introductory perspective on data. Overall, a very interesting and highly-rated course in my opinion - I give it a 10/10!

This course has taught me so much in regards to data analytics. I was a little shaky about taking this course, but as the videos, note taking, practice quizzes and the weekly challenges were to better prepare me for the course challenge. In doing this course, I had to use time management wisely as I work a full and part time job. I realize this was something I wanted to be passion about and deserved to give it a try to better myself. It has not been easy, but sticking with it will allow you to gain the experience needed to be productive in this career.

Exceptional teaching, touches all the main points, very immersive, encouraging, and excited me from day one! This course has really helped me refine what direction I want to go in the world of data, coming from a background of Software Architect, I've really struggled in the past trying to figure out what was missing from my career. I find that focusing on making decisions with data is so much more important to me that simply just doing development. I want to be more of a participant in what we do with data now, vs just helping people interact with it.

Although I'm working in data analytics from a few years. but this first course answer many question I was looking for. Moreover, it gives a brief picture of which area I need to focus to work on and it aslo share a top level resources to dive deep and understand more what you are here for. When doing this course there is no benifit if you don't go through every single thing provided. or if you just try to finish the course just to finish it. Try to understand what you are here for. Research the topic you think you need to know about above and beyond.

This is just phenomenal! Although I had started data analytics about early 2020, but some other things that had happened to me personally never made me get anything out of it.

But while reflecting on my life and a necessity of improving my skills to have a good earning, I stumbled on this course. How I wish I had known about this course some 2 years ago.

The course is a top notch !I can't wait to finish up and build amazing projects and keep telling the world about this course.

Mr. Smith is an amazing tutor. Thank you and thank you again sir

Best Regards

Even though I have a background in analytics and passed the speed up quiz with high marks, I decided to take the course. My feeling is that one should never assume they have nothing to learn from fundamentals. Reinforcing existing knowledge as well as the possibility of gaining a deeper understanding from other perspectives make it worthwhile.

This course supports those ideas completely. Afterwards I had a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of data analysis and I look forward to the rest of the series and the possibilities it opens up to me.

From someone with a non-technical degree, I found this course easy to follow and very user friendly. I also appreciated how the weeks were tailored for different kinds of learning styles that people might have. I've recommended this certificate course to everyone at this point because I think (even though I haven't finished it yet) lots of people can benefit from what's taught in this course. Whether they're trying to pursue a technical degree or just up their skills in the workplace, I feel like this was an evenly paced and well-thought out course.

From my perspective, the initial course served as an excellent starting point for my journey into the realm of data analysis. It provided a plethora of fresh and applicable information, ideal for any aspiring data analyst aiming to distinguish themselves among their peers. The real-life examples presented were particularly captivating, offering a robust foundation in the fundamental principles of data analytics. This marks the commencement of my expedition as a data enthusiast, and I perceive the remainder of the journey to be equally exhilarating.

This course was an excellent introduction into this certificate program! It did a fine job of helping me understand the basics of data analysis and provided foundational insights into each of the phases of the analytical process! The course strucutre was very engaging, the videos comprehensive yet concise, the discussion posts and reflection prompts helped me reinforce my learnings, and the quizzes and course challenge was constructive and balanced principles and application! The instructor was super compelling and cordial as well! Thank you guys!

It was a really amazing course. Honestly, since I was a complete beginner I was a little bit nervous while starting this course but as I was moving forward I really understood concepts well because the instructors really were always encouraging and were explaining concepts in a very easy way for us to understand. Also, the frequent practice quizzes helped me in gaining some confidence for the final graded assignments and I really performed great in them. Hoping to complete this entire certification soon and getting my first job as a Data Analytics.

I truly appreciate the effort that went into making this as practical and digestable as possible. Well done everyone involved and THANK YOU! I emphasise this because a lot of the cold feet people feel approching data analysis in the first place is the fear of feeling incompetent when face with analytical thing, spreadsheets and anything remotely technical. The course really eases you in and helps you gain the confidence you need to approach this subject, it then builds your curiousity, knowledge and zest for more. Great course, totally worth it!

Unlike popular opinion, I do not think that the course is useless at all. Surely it is easy, because it is called "FOUNDATION", which sets piece in data analytics. I have learnt about data lifecycle and data analysis cycle, which gave me an overview of how data analysts work, so the first three weeks were definitely not a waste. The learning log is also helpful in stimulating my sense of thinking like a data analyst. Overall, an informative and interactive course. I am looking forward to the next course. Hopefully, it will be more challenging.

Amazing course. It's a great introduction and it takes learners by hand. I have a couple of comments (very minor things :) )

1- You mentioned outliers more than once in this course without explaining what it means. I was familiar with the word but for beginners, I think it's better to explain it since it's important in cleaning data.

2- Most downloadable word files have gibberish names for all courses on Coursera, not just this course. Please give the files proper names to make it easier for the students..

Thank you so much. Great effort.

After completing the first course in the Google Data Analysis Certificate track, which covered foundational data concepts and the six processes of data analysis, as well as the data lifecycle, I feel confident in my understanding of the basics of data analysis. I thoroughly enjoyed the course, particularly the learning log and self-reflection exercises, which allowed me to track my progress and see how much I had learned. I am excited to continue with the rest of the track and build on the knowledge and skills that I have gained so far.

The present course offers an exceptional introduction to the field of data analytics. The curriculum and instructional design are both comprehensive and easy to follow, making it an ideal choice for individuals new to the field. It is my belief that taking this course will provide a thorough understanding of the intricacies and complexities of data analytics, making it an ideal starting point for those interested in pursuing a career in this field. I strongly recommend this course to all those who are new to the field of data analytics.

I am very much impressed by this course. At the very start of this I thought that it would be a boring course and all that, but I was totally wrong, The teachers were amazing (Tony Sir 🔥). And what make this course different and more effective is the way questions pop up during videos, knowledge checks, Learning Logs, Real- Life examples and so so so much more. I have learned a lot from this course and I am confident, motivated and have more knowledge about Data Analysis.

Thank You Coursera and Google (With Team Members) Aditya Dayal

This module is a really good starting point for anyone who know nothing about data analytics but want to dive in to this field, they teach all fundamentals in easy to understand ways, not only that they also give the general outlook on how the data analysis world really look like, in this course they give business case and real world example of how data analyst work, if you come to this course hungry I will make sure that you will leave this course with your stomach full, however your brain will crave for the food like never before.

I really like the videos, and within the videos there was a quiz question, that caught my attention. I liked the information about what type of jobs can come from this certificate. The practice quizzes were great, but the other tests, well, sometimes it didn't feel we covered some of the material, maybe it wasn't emphasized as much, maybe in the video or readings you highlight some things that could be on the test, that way we can make special note of it and even if we write it down we learn from it. Great course, great instructor.

This was a great intro course. Allowed me to brush up on some prior info while being introduced to new info in a digestible way. Learning macro info about analyst role functions and skills they need was also helpful to help set expectations knowing that we will be leaning more about them in depth in future lessons. I had trouble with the final course test content loading properly. I reached out to coursera support and after a few email exchanges they were able to fix the issue. Thanks to the support team for a quick resolution.

For some people, it could be very elementary. For absolute beginners, it is a great course. It clearly clarifies different type of data analysts in different industries, beginner can start to think about how to position themselves in the world of data analyst according to their interests. Some concepts are repeated over different videos which I appreciate, as it helps solidify the fundamentals of data analysis. Speakers in the video tell their own story from their data analyst journey, it is encouraging and sheds positive lights.

Tony, the primary instructor, was excellent. I learned a lot about the foundations of data analytics and the essential terminology to grow my knowledge in the field. As a result, I built up my basic understanding of data analytics and better understood how to enter my new career once I complete the certification. This first course was a test to see if becoming a data analyst was what I wanted to do. After completing the first course, it is! Thanks to Tony and the other contributors for making this course accessible and enjoyable.

A very good course that really gets to the very basics of data analytics. This introduces us to a lot of terminology or the data analytics jargon, the differences between some of them. The course gave a bird's eye view on a lot of concepts of data analytics - what it is, who the data analysts and data scientists are, what are all the tools one might use, what is a data life cycle and what kind of job titles, descriptions and again how different they are and what similarities could there be. It just sets the foundations right.
