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.

While this course did provide some useful material, mostly when it was focusing on what sorts of questions to ask during data analysis, I felt that much of it was irrelevant to the specifics of being a data analyst. I am taking this eight-course certificate program not to learn how to work an office job, but to learn how to be a data analyst. Sections focusing on office etiquette are ancillary to that goal, and are irrelevant to the time I am putting in here. I feel that these sections could better be put into a supplemental course rather than a core part of the analytics certificate.
Additionally, I struggled some with Ximena's presentation. Many of her examples were not helpful because they were too vague or not rooted in real-life situations, so I could not connect them together or make sense of what I was supposed to be paying attention to. Primarily, she would say things like "You're in this situation, and you need to do this," but I wouldn't have any way to know *why* I should "do this" or why I would be in that situation in the first place. By contrast, Sarah's lone video on her specific experiences as a data analyst was very helpful because she walked me, as the viewer, through each step of the process she went on to analyze the data in her situation.
Lastly (and this is somewhat unfortunate), Ximena's accent, though not very strong, did make it difficult for me to understand her at times. I found that I had to focus a lot more on the specific words she was saying, which made it harder for me to connect the dots and get to the meaning she was trying to communicate; this wasn't a problem I had with the primary video presenter during the first course (I can't recall his name now). It's possible that I'm alone in this, but that was my experience. I also found her constant encouragement at the end of each video a little off-putting. I am looking for a teacher in these subjects, rather than a cheerleader.
