The Skill of asking the right questions is usually very underrated and many people just overlook it. That's why I'm appreciative of google for teaching this core skill and making it super interesting.

Sometimes it feels like I need more information or experience to really get everything I can from this course. Certain activities felt like they may have been more beneficial in a later part of the course, but I understand why they are paced this way.

i already have a degree in psychology so most of the technique features of the course are already familar to me. but for someone without that experiance the course should have more empathis on technical challenges, i.e how to use spreadsheets better

The course helped me approach how to ask questions, provides the basics that other courses on data analytics wouldn't. It could involve more peer-reviewed assignments, and assesments that arent quiz-based. That will improve the learning outcomes.

I appreciate the oportunity that this course has given me. I will say that the material is a little dry. I understand that all people learn at different levels. So, I do understand that the speed is a little slower. Thank you for the opportunity!!

A lot of the formulas were adding every single cell when the sum function could have been taught instead. Same with finding the average. Felt less time efficient and effective to type in adding every cell rather than using existing functions.

Really solid and easy to understand. If you're a beginner then this course is a great place to start. It gives you a foundational understanding, a big picture about data analytics, and specifcally the first step of any data analysis process.

Very helpful in allowing you to understand the right questions to ask to get the correct data. The emphasis on fairness and being unbiased is much appreciated. This course will allow you to learn the tools needed to ask great questions.

Ximena is a very effective communicator. It was engaging. However, spreadsheet should have been covered in-depth. This course should be redesigned. The first course was data data every where was too good. Compared to that it felt flat.

The instructor was great, but again, I had trouble with the Qwiklab space. The instructions in the video don't correlate to what's happening when I follow the steps. If changes have been made to the process, please update the video.

IT was very useful and learnt not only technical skill but soft skills, I would like the excel part included some extra information, as I knew a bit about Google Sheets some extra information that was not basic. But overall is good

Pretty good! I really enjoyed the Google Sheets part. The virtual computer activity was unique and enjoyable. I think it needs more guided hands-on activities though regarding asking questions and identifying the business problem.

This course has made the basics very clear of how asking questions is important in the initial stage of data analysis to get the required insights. Also how effective communication is important and ways for effective communication.

A lot of material to review and go over. It does have good concepts and material to study. The Sheets file on the Course exam, the last question is missing the sheets file. For those that don't have excel, this can be an issue.

The content seemed good to me, but very scrambled. It is not clear to me if to learn more about spreadsheets I need to review all the links that were given to us in this course, or if we will continue to see spreadsheets later.

A great course overall. However, would have been great to have more focus on asking effective questions, as well as the scope of work. The rest of the themes did not seem as important to data analytics and were more general.

The content is good as the other Google courses and the videos are made with the instructor which makes it better. It was hard to focus because and the instructor could have done better since it got monotonous after a while

The strong suite of this section of the course was effective questions, data driven decisions, spreadsheet basics and remember the stakeholders.

I believe the highlight of this course was communication. Learned many things.

This a great pleasure to have a course with Coursera with google certification. Overall experience was quite good but It needs some of the upgradation required because there is so much to read that takes too much time.

I think that courses 1 and 2 could have been merged into one. On the other hand, I appreciated the real-life examples and work with real datasets. You do not really get enough of the real datasets in the first course.

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.
