Everything was perfect but some questions on the practice and graded quizzes were tricky. The answers conflicted from the point of view side so it might need a better explanation for the right answer.

Some things were really handy for me, others I already knew, so sometimes it was a bit boring and at other times very engaging and interesting.

Overall good experience! This is how learning is most effective and fun!

I loved this course because you can finally get hand on training BUT in my opinion that last week (week 4) is useless or unnecessary. I learned that stuff in high school but that may have just been my high school.

The course is very well structured, with great insights in it. However, the timeline can't be matched easily due to the fact that some week courses are a bit too intense than others. But still, excellent course.

the course was very interesting and rich with information, but I would like it more if it can provide more practical exercises instead of some videos that I sometimes found boring and a waste of time.

Thank you.

I feel I can kick start my data analysis journey as knowing what the shareholders want, asking the right questions, getting your models right, etc are great determinants in solving the organization's problems.

Although the materials of the course were great, it was a bit confusing to see things related to data visualization and sharing results and such, when we're technically still in the "Ask" phase of the project.

Good course. The instructor was a little bit stiff and harder to listen to than past courses, but the information was pretty good. I love how the courses are structured and I learn a bunch from each course.

It was a good course, I wish there was some more real life examples to the type of questions data analysts on the job, maybe see an example interaction between the analyst and stakeholder to see how it works.

Extremely helpful, well organized and presented. I learned a lot.

My only criticism is that there was not enough Excel-specific guidance. If instructions for creating and using a Google account I would do so.

I think it was a great way to start learning on how to tackle projects and objectives. I just found the pace to be a little bit slow at some points, I also missed some more study cases to apply myself with.

Very easy to understand, but somewhat low-level. They walk you through everything in detail, which can be great sometimes and feel like a waste of time at others. Looking forward to the rest of the courses.

It initially felt like the course covered a lot of unreleated topics.

I did come to the realization they are all related in a more abstract level, but it was near the end of the course when I realized this

I am really enjoying these courses. I believe the weakest part of the course is the discussion forum. The forum is not engaging: It just seems forced and I have decided to not bother with it from now on.

Lots and lots of things to do here. Awesome course despite having 2 surgeries and our craziest season at work - made it! Hang in there it's worth the climb, the last part is all downhill and a great ride.

Course provides additional technical information and exposure to tools and theories. Some of the content would better fit in the share/act course but as this is still an initial program course it's works.

Week 4 is a little boring. There can be more activities to make it more interactive and more examples for seeing to put the knowledge to work. Week 1-3 are super informative and greatly planned. Thank you

It was pretty good because it shows all the basics about how to ask effective questions and make decision. But i just dont like the way she talks, her tone was boring and she was not passionate about it.
