Excellent in-depth course on sourcing datasets for projects, how to determine whether they contain 'good' or 'bad' data, how to ensure data privacy measures are taken and best practices for naming files and folders for use in collaborative efforts. The instructor is personable and easy to follow. Her commitment to the field of data analysis and enthusiasm is contagious. Well done Google!

I started on this Google Data Analytics Certificate journey to add it to what i already knew, and practiced, for over 35 years in the IT industry. Like the previous two courses, this one was more of a "refresher" course, HOWEVER, i did learn some new things about spreadsheets and relational databases that i had never used, but definitely will in the future. I'm loving this adventure!!!!

I learnt a lot about database, data security, and SQL queries in this course, especially I had the chance to practice my SQL skills with Google BigQuery. The learning and practicing materials are straight to the point, concise and relevent enough to help me understand the core ideas and apply my skills. Google and Coursera did a great job, so thank you and please keep up your good work!

I thouroughly enjoyed this course. I am 100% an amatuer, and each of these courses have taught me so much. They're well put together. The strategy of a watching short video, a short read, followed by a quiz seems to be just what I needed to make the information stick!! interactive and never boring. I really appreciate all of the Goggle analyst who "hosted" courses. <3

This is a very great course. I've learnt so many things like SQL, Types of Data, Relational Database, Data Security and many more great skills. I really love this course and I am confident that after completion of the full courses in Google Data Analytics Professional certificate, I will secure a job as a Data Analyst. Thank you Google and Coursera for this wonderful course.

The most challenging part of this certificate so far, I learned a lot. I build skills that I previously did not have in an easy to learn structure. I loved every minute of it, including the syntax errors that nearly had me pulling my hair out. GREAT course, I would definately recommend for the SQL, BigQUERY and Spreedsheet data cleaning practice and experience.

Please include more partice cases and video realted to the tools as find it missing the benchmark like in sheets baisc function which most commomly used should be taught like sumifs, countifs, averageifs, vlookup. I know all these function I used them in my day to day work. But someone who doesn't have knowledge aout sheet will have no knowldge about the tools.

Throughly enjoyed this portion of the course because of the introduction to SQL. Prior to starting the course I fully thought the introduction to SQL would be very basic with very limiting knowlwdge. That was not the case. The cousre around SQL was very engaging and provided the right tools I needed to be engaged and enthusiatics about learning more. Thank you.

The instructor in this course was very fantastic. She was pleasant, positive, very easy to understand and speaks at a good speed making it easy to follow along and engage with the content. The content itself was relevant and helpful, although there was almost double the content in Week 1-3 as opposed to Week 4-5 so keep this in mind when planning your study.

The course was really interesting and gave the right information I was hoping for. Maybe the last section was a bit out of topic, nevertheless, it was good to have some information and suggestions on how to enter in this field professionally. I would also like to congratulate Hallie and the way she presented the topic. She made it very easy to follow along.

Excellent Information from battle-tested professionals who share knowledge and provide intense training where we are given instructions to follow through to see if we have a good grasp of the concept. The Google Staff Instructors are very supportive because they were once in our positions and so now our goal is to understand the information being taught.

Hallie was amazing! I struggled a bit (the courses are getting tougher especially SQL!).

I can't wait to conquer the remaining courses and make a smooth career switch to data analytics.

Infact, all my moderators so far- Tony, Ximena, and Hallie have been incredible. They have held my interest thus far, hopefully, I would enjoy Sally's rendition also.

I am from Vietnam and I appreciate that Google and everybody working at Google had helped me on my way to become a data analyst in the future. Thanks to you that I more believe in myself everyday. It is not easy to have a center in Vietnam to teach me about data because it is still a new major in our country. Google has help me so much. Thank you.

This was a fantastic starting point that has made me optimistic about the other courses in this program. I highly recommend this for anyone who is just starting in data analytics or wants a refresher on the core fundamentals. I would also say that this is a great way to dip your toes into the subject matter if you're not fully committed to it.

It was a great learning experience. This module opened my mind to BigQuery (SQL) and Kaggle.

These were the biggest new knowledge I learnt in this course. I also appreciated the sections that talked about building your network and using social media to do that. I really appreciated that section as well.

All in all it was an amazing module.

I felt this course did a good job of giving an overview of the tools and language needed to prepare data. I felt the spreadsheet content was a little light, but that may be because I have had experience with them. Likely someone with SQL experience (not me) would think the same about the database content. Overall, I enjoyed the course.

I learned how to indentify good data sources that arev unbiased and credible and the importance of open data from this course. The course also includes the credible public open data websites we can visit and use the datasets to practice data analytics. I really recommend this course and it will help you prepare to be a data analytics.

This course has taken my mind and view of the analytics world miles forward, I just wish you would update BigQuery Interface, and practices, as They're now, as I had a very hard time figuring my way around BigQuery, and wasn't able to answer its assignments accurately as the dataset in question wasn't available.

LOVE you Google!!!

Very well step by step built course. Its the 3rd course in data analysis cycle. This course covered all the basics that how we can prepared data. I enjoyed this course a lot. Furthermore, scenerio based questions in final challenge were realy helpful. I will highly recommend this course to all who want to become data analyst.

It is a great course for anyone from no-IT background can also understand and learn about Data Analytics. The pace and the mode of study is designed in such a way that it can be understood by anyone. And it also gives advice the ways to develop the career. Overall it is a very good and simple video that anyone can understand.

-This Course was an Excellent one. it provided me how to prepare final data sheets for analysis using different tools like Google sheets and SQL and the course material was excellent. -Secure, and assign access to data sheets. -And Special part of the course was played powerful lecturers with very strong teaching methodology

Excelente tutora, y el curso lo sentí, intenso. Ya está logrado, y espero seguir adelante ya que me ha despertado una gran inquietud por saber, cómo, manejar los datos.

Un comentario referente a los trabajos en comunidad dentro del curso; éstos no han funcionado bien, bajo mi punto de vista.

Felicitaciones a la organización.

The course is going to further deepen in knowledge. This time I practiced with more exercises, and this is what will help me much more. On the other hand, I'm still trying to understand Kaggle. I think the competitions are difficult to me. Big Query is very useful, I would like to practice more exercises with this platfor

This course provided more hands on approach to cleaning data, tips for ways to boost social presence. It was easy to learn, never felt bored and having heard stories of people working in the industry provided a deeper understanding of not just what an analyst does but also the other roles which work along with an analyst.

The course was excelent, with thorough information and a lot of exercises to practice.

On the other hand, there's a lot of information, so I would have divided this into doferent courses with different certifactes. I think is kind of hard fto get to the end of it for or someone that works full-time and has a family.
