TOP REVIEWS FROM FOUNDATIONS: DATA, DATA, EVERYWHERE
I think this first course is incredibly well structured with a very good approach of covering all the steps in their most basic form and then advancing into them while having the big picture in mind.
i am really happy that i have completed this course thanks to coursera i am willing to enroll the next courses to fullfil my knowledge and dream.#thanks google and coursera to give me the opportunity.
Great information but VERY misleading. Instead of showing a 5 week course load, I think it would have been more transparent to show that this is only the FIRST 5 weeks out of an eight course program.
Awesome class. Found out why I'm always analytical about things in my personal life and the critical thinking that this provides. I love it and hopefully this will help me land my dream job at Google!
