About the Course

This is the third course in the Google Data Analytics Certificate. As you continue to build on your understanding of the topics from the first two courses, you’ll be introduced to new topics that will help you gain practical data analytics skills. You’ll learn how to use tools like spreadsheets and SQL to extract and make use of the right data for your objectives, and how to organize and protect your data. Current Google data analysts will continue to instruct and provide you with hands-on ways to accomplish common data analyst tasks with the best tools and resources.

By the end of this course, learners will: - Find out how analysts decide what data to collect for analysis. - Learn about structured and unstructured data, data types, and data formats. - Discover how to identify different types of bias in data to help ensure data credibility. - Explore how analysts use spreadsheets and SQL within databases and data sets. - Examine open data and the relationship between, and importance of, data ethics and data privacy. - Gain an understanding of how to access databases and extract, filter, and sort the data they contain. - Learn best practices for organizing data and keeping it secure....

The lessons were easy to follow through and the explanantions were easy to understand. The hands-on practices also helped improve hands-on skills with the data analysis tools introduced in this course

More SQL could be good in the course. Is a good introduction but I think istead of week 5 is about community, could be more about SQL.

Enjoyed the course overall. Wish there was a bit more of a deep-dive into SQL and queries, but hope this will happen in next courses.

Very good course, I liked how the instuctor teaches, but some labs did not work, but I think that it is due to my location and region

Great information, just wished there was an option to do more query practices. I find it that it helps me remember functions better.

Excellent course but repetitive in parts - However, that offered a quick revision of the use of platforms like BigQuery and Kaggle.

A very good course with a lot of information, however, the SQL and spreadsheets lectures should have covered more advanced topics.

Apart from an SQL test that asks questions about commands that have not been previously taught, I would say that the course is ok.

Very informative! Enjoyed the course. My only suggestion is to remove the repetitive information as it adds on unnecessary time.

I would give 5 stars if there was more SQL in it. I think this are one if not the most fundamental skill learned in this course.
