A very structured course to give basic and useful insight to the world of data analysis. From zero, one absorbs the possible levels of details and requirements to get into the world of data analysis.

The course provides a lot of knowledge in regards to Data Analytics, but it is very fast paced and sometimes it feels really hard to keep up. My suggestions would be to present to overview first and then go in depth with the topic. Currently they are presenting each topic one by one, without giving a proper overview and it feels confusing, especially because I am not familiar with this field.

Useful introduction with overview of the field, valuable perspectives on data analytics as a skill/career. Discusses key terminology and commonly used software, apps, and other analytic tools.

Very passive learning experience. The only activity that requires more than memory recall occurs at the very end. Hope the next courses in this specialization are more inteactive.

This is a suitable introductory course, but some of the videos seemed excessively long for the relative depth of information provided. I really liked the viewpoints videos. The quizzes were often poor at testing actually knowledge and instead were more interested in testing memorization or ability to quote/look-up direct phrases from the course material.

There was a lot of useful information in this course, excatly what I would expect from the introduction. Yet, it wasn't really engaging. I would rather prefer to hear more real, living instructors with some charisma, not a synthethic voice all over. I liked the part where you examine others assignments and they examine yours, though.

i see in final peer assignments , though the answers are correct for some questions it was graded zero. so i kindly request course era to do a proof check before submitting the graded assignment to the canditate. if this thing goes on in coming courses too, there will be a huge affect on the final grade of the course.

I like the course, it's clear and like the visual audio. I gave 3 stars because you ask someone who is new to this class to review our assignment and this person didn't give me full grade for a question where I got all the answers right.

You need more people for viewpoints. For me same people are talking about same thing. And You should get a combination on both an instructor is teaching and also instructor is instructing through the presentation.

I was looking for more practical skills, I found I had to learn a lot of information for the weekly quizess that I forgot almost immediately after learning it becuase it seemed kind of irrelevant/theoretical.

It felt like this part of the course was a lot of definitions, and explanation without any hands on activity that would help me grasp and understand these concepts a lot better.

excellent content but delivery can be improved. assignments should NOT be peer reviewed as some may not understand english and misgrade, which is very unfair

I would be glad for more "information heavy" and challenging introduction. But perhaps I am somewhat biased my background is in economics with math minor.

The course was informational, though the quizes were a bit too basic and answers were available in the transcript. It should have been a bit conceptual.

Some questions too specific on video content, not related to knowledge. Job opportunities as data analyst should be at the beginning of the course.

I think it could be a bit more helpful to have more interactive follow along projects verses just videos with someone spurting out information.

whis course was very good , but it could be better if someone appear and explain the material instead of just a voice on the slides

Muito bom! É um ótimo curso para se perceber se se gosta ou não de Análise de dados e se queremos mesmo aprender mais sobre isto!

I was unable to complete the course in a timely manner because I had to wait to review other's assignments. This should be fixed

I found it too basic; but it might be perfect for someone with no prior background so it's probably just right for that person.

My assignment was incorrectly graded resulting in a lower score. Found this to be unfair especially when you put in the work.

after i completed this course, i have bird's eye view about data analytic, but some of parts is too general, practicalless.

the course provides an overview of the data analyst career. However, some content is kept repeatedly taught unnecessarily.

A few things did not work and there is no way of asking for help, I found this frustrating. Course content is good though.

Final assignment has been reviewed incorrectly and provided lesser score, even when every answer's matched.
