This course is an introduction to data analysis; Therefore, it exposes in a general way the importance of data in the life of any type of organization. I thought the course was very important because it reinforces the importance of doing data analysis.

Although it is also important to mention that sometimes the evaluation questions are confusing.

I had absolutely zero knowledge of data analysis , but I had curiosity and now i know so much about data analysis and i am even more excited than before to pursue it as a career. thank you google and coursera , for using the most simplest way possible for teaching and last but not the least , thank you my first teacher for data analysis Mr. TONY.

I found a passion in data analytics with this course. I fell in love with the process and found myself thinking about getting a career in data analytics because it seems like an exciting job. I learned about the fundamentals and got an overview of data analytics. Will recommend this course to anyone looking to see what data analytics is all about.

This is Course 1 of the full Google Data Analytics Program. This course mainly focuses on the fundamentals and thinking process of a data analyst.

Hello,

This was a good entry level in understanding the Foundations. It is in fact true that we are dealing with Data all around us at all times. I have enjoyed going through Course 1 and looking forward to the next course. As a Data Analyst, it is important to stay true to the steps and understanding the life cycle of the data itself.

Let's go!

It is a course that gives a great insight into data analytics. You may find it boring at first if you are anxious about getting into the main thing, but you will be missing a whole lot if you don't go through it. The videos were very helpful and learning was simplified. It made online learning awesome. I'm looking forward to the remaining courses

I am truly hooked with data analytics. In this course, you have to read every material and do every exercises in order to apply what you have been learning. In my case, it was effective because I was able to understand the topics. It was also advised to read and participate in the discussion because you can gain great insights from other people.

I really enjoyed this course and learning more about this field. Getting to see a very diverse group of people throughout the course, actually working in the field, and sharing their insights was comforting. Thank you for stoking the flames of knowledge for me and getting me passionate about my education again while finding a new passion as well.

This portion of the course has been very informative. I love the introduction and insight into the role of a data analyst and the steps used to gain an unbiased insight into data collected to assist with informed business decisions. There's so much more from this course that I can mention but will keep it short. I'm looking forward to the next 7!

i have known a lot about data analysis but this certification made me understand how to see problem that need to be solved. It also made me start seeing data everywhere around me. Before now, I always think of where to see datasets for analysis. But on completion of this program i am more ready to see data easily while asking neccessary question

This course really helped me. Thank you very much Google Careers. I am a beginner in this field. Now after studying this, I understand what data analysis is. What kind of work do data analysts usually do, what tools do data analysts use, and other cool subjects are in this course. Tests in each part of the lesson help me measure my understanding

I did Operations Research and Statistics for my undergrad and went on to do an MBA. Most of the interviews I have been invited for have been practical, having to analyze data using spreadsheets or SQL which I was not familiar with but this course has helped me enormously, I now have an idea of what to do when I am faced with practical interviews

Great course to explain the foundational principles of data analytics and how a data analyst mindset can be achieved. When we are new to something, we may feel overwhelmed with the amount of subjects we do not know. This course helps us to calm down and understand that with steady and right steps we can achieve our goal to become a data analyst.

Data is actually every around us...while awake and at sleep, data is being generated. The most important thing is that this data can be used for amazing things. This course has opened my eyes to the availability of data and its usefulness. Instructors are really knowledgeable about the subject matter too. Thanks to Coursera for this opportunity.

Loved the course! It was not too fast not too slow. When I was lagging behind I got much time to overcome and catch in the pace. The materials are excellent. Also if anyone has the wish to explore more about any topic there are many references too inside this course. Overall Its a good package. Now moving towards the next course with high hopes!

What a fantastic introdution on this extremely useful and applicable information! Can't wait to explore the rest! As data will get increasing more and more in the coming future, I can already start to see the value and importance of a work force that needs to be trained in this subject so that one may solve problems and make informed decisions.

The course is very comprehensive and the course materials and readings are explained in an organised step by step manner which makes the concepts easy to understand and grasp.

The educator is very clear and precise and the videos and readings are very helpful.

Thank you Google and Coursera for creating such a wonderful course of Data Analysis.

Great way of approaching learning through use of video and reading. Keeping in short time spans allows for deeper learning and focusing on particular areas. I like that there are transcripts along with the videos to follow along. It helps not only to see and hear the material but also be able to read along which can help with better retention.

This course taught me to ethically distinguish data collection processes and their responsibilities, and different professions such as data scientist and data analysis. I would recommend a course that simplifies what everyone already knows and simply explains things like what is data science, these are processes, how do you do these processes.

Absolutely amazing course content all about foundation of data. Course contents are well structured! When I finished each course's topic, I'd eagerly waited to start another one. Teaching is conducted by the professionals who have industry experiences. Specially I like that the way of the course contents are moving on when we wrap up each one!

Great introductory course that exposed me to the world of possibilities with data. I enjoyed learning about what to expect as a data analyst and how data analysts contribute to the world we live in every day. Perfect for people who may not have experience with programming but are looking to learn in a very accessible and understandable format.

Well structured, knowledge filled, wonderful visualizations, and superbly timed and placed assessments. This course was not only informative about prospects in data analysis, but was also a breathe of fresh air for a student like me who is used to the hustle and bustle of everyday classes and labs.

Did I mention how refreshing seeing Tony was?

I appreciated the accommodation of Closed Captioning and the ability to take notes within the program. Having a video that included people within the field was reassuring that one was learning from experts. Having encouraging videos and writing prompts about your progress along the way made me feel like I was being supported. Highly recommend.

The course was very well taught, with each lesson handled effectively with teachable approaches that were simple to comprehend. The training was engaging, impactful, and interesting. This training was helpful for me.

I was hesitant to enroll in the course because it is entirely online, but I am glad I did. The instructors are excellent tutors!
