It was a great learning curve for me giving the professionalism of the different tutors who did justice to this course. I couldn't have it any better with any learning institution. Coursera, you rock!

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.

Este curso me ayudó a valorar muchas de las cosas que ya aplico en mi día a día, dándome una nueva perspectiva sobre su importancia, ya que a veces uno las da por sentado. Además, me brindó conocimientos frescos que me servirán para fortalecer mis habilidades y empezar a ponerlos en práctica de inmediato.

I enjoyed this course very much. At times I thought to myself that I would never remember all of it for the Final Course Challenge. But, the way it is structured and the way the Google instructor, Ximena, presented the material was so positive and well done that I knew I could do it when the time came.

Another really enjoyable course, which was well presented and engaging. Only minor issue was some problems with some of the spreadsheets I downloaded having different date and time formats which didn't work with UK dates in Excel - however I found a fix on the internet so learn something else new!! :)

So sar, so good. A lot of it was kind of a review, so I played the videos at 2x speed instead of fast-tracking out of the module. But that's what's nice about this program, you can fast track through parts that you're familiar with or, if you're an absolute beginner, you can really take your time.

This course provides an excellent opportunity to brush one's skills in Excel provided the learner takes seriously to the study material given in the links. It also lets the learner delve into the depth of a thoughtful process regarding basic but crucial take off with the analytical problem at hand.

When I started the course I thought it was just amazing how the instructor clearly explains everything but when i reached the end I was completely mindblown. It went from being amazing to 100 times better, I loved the content from week 4 and this is probably some of the best learning i've ever done.

The course is informative to make you think in the way that you would need to think and communicate in the company this will help learners to take the right call to classify between words which generally are confusing to people this course helps to clarify the thoughts on those words more clearly.

Ximena did excellently well. I learned a lot from this course as well as the first. I was specially intrigued by the function analysis on Spreadsheet exercise. It's like I'm already a seasoned data analyst but there is a long way to go. The results so far exceed my widest expectations. Thank you.

Very important non-technical skills are taught in this course. These skills are very useful when dealing with a real project in real life. Most people focus too much on the data analytics tools, but the skills taught in this course are very crucial to ensure the success of data analysis projects.

Wow, this was a phenomenal course. Learning about topics such as meetings, conflict resolution and structured thinking were aspects of analysis I had never considered but I found them very informative with tons of excellent advice. This course was definitely worth the time and effort I invested.

the course is good and the material is planned in a very constructive way, however i think the detail material would be more suitable for a green hand, meaning someone with 0-1 year(s) of work experience, which could be redundant for someone who has work experience looking to learn a new skill.

This course is great. I learnt a lot. I'd recommend it 100%. I learnt the difference between reports and dashboards. I learnt the difference between Primary and Secondary stakeholders and a lot more. I am also happy about my soft skills as regards handling conflicts and disagreements at work

Solid foundation for how to approach data-driven decision making and basics for spreadsheets. If you have experience in this space, much of the information shared will likely be a recap of things you already know. If you haven't worked much on data-driven decisions, will give a great start!

This course is like a hidden level in a game. The course more about how to manage yourself and how to think like a Data Analyst rather than a Junior Data Analyst. The course teacher Ximena is perfect as she explains each and every topic and example with her heart without reading the script.
