This is a great beginner style course when wanting to learn the near basics of what it's like to be a data analyst. Throughout this course, you are given readings and videos that may help any questions you have while also providing you assignments to help wrap your head around the content you are learning. There are also some segments that allow you to communicate with others who are also taking this course that may be in the same position you are in.

For a beginner it is an amazing amalgamation of general info about Data Analysis. Though at times it looked like it was trying to cover too wide a range of what could be in the field. The guidance was clear and well thought out and it's a great resource that points you in the direction you might want to go.

This is definitely a course where you can finish within the week (during the free trial) to really see if this is a direction you would like to go.

Love it so far, the instructors are great, articulated and even if it's an online course you still feel attached to it.

Career change isn't easy for anyone but the introduction to Data Analyst Course 1 makes it very interesting and good challenge you want to face and solve, which made you want to learn more about it. Despite some error in the quiz and tools, this course is worth it and totally recommend it. Best of luck to those who may want to enroll.

I found this course to be very helpful as someone new the concepts of data analytics. It breaks each topic down into easy to digest concepts which makes it easy to understand and follow along. I also like the fact that it provided additional resources to get more practice or more information about the topics covered. The format of alternating between video and reading material kept things interesting so you are not bored as you go through the course.

This course has been great in supplying me with a strong foundation for starting my data analysis journey! I had previously completed another certificate through a differenc organization and while great, it didn't supply enough hands on instruction or context. This does just that. Even with working with data and light analysis on a daily level, this course expanded my understasnding of how to use spreadsheets and introduced the use of SQL. I love it!

Something I noticed:

When looking into this certification I saw it would take "Approximately 6 months to complete Suggested pace of 10 hours/week" which would total "approximately" 260 hours.

However, if one looks at the approximate hours to complete as identified in each of the 8 courses that make up the certification and sums them you will find the total approx. hours for the certification is 168 hours which equates to 4 months (10 hrs / week).

The course provides an overall picture for someone uninitiated. Very important to start with this expectation in mind. I feel there is an opportunity to incorporate more hands-on exercises. I love the reflection bits sprinkled throughout the course, even if at times they're a bit of a pain. I think they provide a break from the pace so people can digest the information. Who knows, this was just the beginning and I might find those along the way.

Very great Initiative by Coursera for providing the platform to learn new courses and add more weight to resume with the certificates provided by the Google via Coursera. Overall this course helped me in learning The foundations of the Data Analytics. I learned the applications and meaning of the Data Analytics and Work of the Data Analyst to analyze the problem and predict the solutions.

Thank You Google and Coursera for providing this course.

I love how the course is structured with discussion prompts to help you engage in the topic taught. The instructors' encouragement motivated me to finish the first part. I look forward to greater levels of learning in the succeeding courses. However, it would have been better to teach My SQL with another program besides Big query since its a cloud resource that requires a subscription to use which is not a very convenient option for mosof us.

Super informative, extremely engaging and newbie-friendly! I really love the combination of videos, reading, and discussion prompt. The course is really balanced and gets me excited to learn more! The practice quizzes are great help for the modules and the course challenge as well! I am so happy that my financial aid has been approved for this course! I will now look forward on finishing the rest of the 6 more courses to earn my certificate!

I was trying to learn data analysis before starting to this course, yet there was a huge gap that I did not know where. This course has made me figure it out. The problem was that I did not have a base for data analysis. Fortunately, the course provided it to me and now I feel that I can develeop myself more quickly. I recommend this course to people who don not know from where to start to data analysis. Thanks a lot people who prepared it.

Really gret introduction to the subject. The pace and content are ideal. Not to easy, not too hard. Really satisfying to get into SQL and get a good grounding in the principles of Data Analytics. I'm quite experienced with spreadhseets so found this part striaghtforward but, seeing how the fit amongst the suite of dat analytics tools was useful. Thanks for creating this great resource. It has given me a lot of confidence that I can do this.

This course is absolutely a great start to dig deeper towards the quest of learning data analytics. The best part about the course is how it is structured and anyone any learn it if have curiosity and interest. It doesn't require prior specialisation. The practice exercises are more practical and give an essence like we are already into a job and completing a task (but of course for ease these exercises are structured in the simplest form).

This course has given me an insight about Data Analytics and how it is done. A clear structure of the course and the way the concepts are being explained makes it easier for one to understand the intricacies and the nuances of the subject. The videos, Readings, Discussions, Log Entry and the Glossary are very useful and informative. Lastly, the quiz makes us really check whether we have understood the Topic in the way it is supposed to be.

Certainly there are parts that could be added, clarifications to be made, etc. But as a foundation, this course layed out the framework for the rest of the courses beautifully.

After completion I felt as if this was a brilliant introduction. While going through this, however, It seemed to only breifly hit on topics before testing/quizzing on them. I suppose though, being that this is just an introduction, that should be par for the course.

I never knew that learning new skills would ever get me so excited. I have enjoyed and learned alot from this course so far. The Instructors are so amazing that you can't help but fall with the course. The quizzes also allows you to actively engage and test yourself if you have fully understood what skills you need to become a data analyst. Enrolling to this cousrse was the best descission I have made and I can't wait for the next journey.

I TOTALLY LOVE THIS COURSE!! Thank you so much google for giving us such a grasp information about becoming a data analyst! there are so much I confused about the role and the scope of works before I started to enroll this course and I'm saying this: this is the best course I've took so far in Coursera! It's pretty cool to see people behind the Google in different field and race. Hope that I got a chance to work with the Googlers, one day.

The course was extremely useful in helping me understand the fundamentals of data analysis. The classes were engaging and easy to understand. The assignments and resources provided were useful in building an intuitive understanding of the concepts and allowed me to experience the process of data analysis . The course not only dwells on the technical aspects but also helped me understand the ethical standards demanded from a data scientist.
