I just finished the 2nd Course in the Google Data Analyst course - even though I have experience in the field, this course reminded of areas that I should focus on and work to strengthen my skills in.

Good level of practical activities with the Google Sheets errors task and the course challenge - but still a little basic with few opportunities to see formulas/functions in action or to use SQL.

I feel like this course was rather lackluster and only reinforces basics that most professionals and/or fresh graduates are already aware of. Regardless, it was a good refresher and quick paced.

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.

Ask Questions to the stakeholders and knowing what you are doing and why you are doing is important as a Data Analyst. I like the fact the fact that Google course emphasizes this process or steps.
