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.

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.

The course is very well structured, with great insights in it. However, the timeline can't be matched easily due to the fact that some week courses are a bit too intense than others. But still, excellent course.

the course was very interesting and rich with information, but I would like it more if it can provide more practical exercises instead of some videos that I sometimes found boring and a waste of time.

Thank you.

I feel I can kick start my data analysis journey as knowing what the shareholders want, asking the right questions, getting your models right, etc are great determinants in solving the organization's problems.

Although the materials of the course were great, it was a bit confusing to see things related to data visualization and sharing results and such, when we're technically still in the "Ask" phase of the project.

Good course. The instructor was a little bit stiff and harder to listen to than past courses, but the information was pretty good. I love how the courses are structured and I learn a bunch from each course.

It was a good course, I wish there was some more real life examples to the type of questions data analysts on the job, maybe see an example interaction between the analyst and stakeholder to see how it works.

Extremely helpful, well organized and presented. I learned a lot.

My only criticism is that there was not enough Excel-specific guidance. If instructions for creating and using a Google account I would do so.
