Very good and useful practice of SQL. The JOIN party is pretty hardcore so I definitely couldn't master it but got enough of an understanding where I could learn quickly with some on the job training.

An excellent course for learning analysis techniques using Spreadsheets and SQL. Recommended for all engineering and data science students as well as for those managing businesses and human resource.

The instructor went way too fast over the SQL commands. I mean, it was ridiculous. I do IT for a living, so I was able to keep up after stopping, going back, reviewing multiple times, and then proceeding. My two friends are totally lost . One wants to leave the medical field, and the other is trying to leave retail, so this training is important to them and their futurte. But, I am having to tutor them. One has lost confidence is close to dropping out. The other is not sure. This is due in part to the instructor in my opinion. Knowing subject material doesn't mean that you can teach it to others. I have taught computer-related classes at a university for 22 years, so I believe that I have a little more insight than the average student. If you take these reviews seriously, then take my advice, review your training methods. Answer this question: do we want students with little technical background to succeed? I think you do. Make it happen. It's that easy. Teach the material, but slow it down with the advanced material and don't fly through it. For me this has beena great 5 classes, but for my friends, they are on the verge of dropping out, and I just hate to see their future dreams crumble.

This course was on the longer side but it was packed with a ton of info, so possibly the most valuable course so far in the class.

Some pros and cons:

Pros

Tons of information - SQL, spreadsheets, functions, etc. And plenty of time explaining them to the point I was surprised when we rehashed a few topics a bit, but that is better if you didn't get it the first time.

Plenty of great outside links to continue/expand education beyond the class. Love this.

Hands on experience in BigQuery - anything hands on is invaluable when learning and I was happy to see this was implemented

Cons

My only gripe - and I will say I know this is a Google class, so I get it - is the overuse of Google Sheets. There are some workflows that don't translate well over to Excel, specifically in making pivot tables and assigning values in them. This part was very frustrating because I had to have a friend explain to me how to do something in Excel when you were teaching Google sheets and had little to no Excel documentation. Again, I get that this is a google class, but Excel is industry standard and I feel like if I walked into any other business and said I use google sheets for professional work, they would laugh at me.
