This gives a great foundation for Data Analytics. The instructors do skim over everything and I would have liked more detail but most of what I wanted to find out more about I was able to find online.

I was exposed to Data driven decision making, Spreadsheet, SQL and Data Visualization. I was equally introduced to Data analytics tools and visualizations tools such as Tableau, Excel, SQL and Google sheet. I also learn the differences between Qualitative and Quantitative Data and the six phases of Data analysis to name few.

Me gusto mucho el curso, aunque son cosas básicas, te abre mucho el panorama sobre que puedes desempeñarte en el ambito profecional. En particular me gusto porque tenia una idea sobre a que se dedicaba un analista de datos y este curso hizo que me gustara más la idea, creo que ya se en que me especializare. Gracias por todo.

Awesome course I am so excited to keep learning. One thing I would love to see is maybe a overview notes sheet that you could maybe download covering the important or high notes if you will. It would make a nice addition to my notes and I wouldn't have to type as much while watching the viedos so I wouldn't miss anything.

Excellent course to introduce data analysis. The data lifecycle and data analysis process was repeated multiple times throughout the course which makes sure you would remember it. The content is put together extremely well and the challenges are great as well! Looking forward to the rest of the courses in this certificate!

It is quite good for everyone who is not familiar with the term data analysis in depth. Our insructor Tony was full of energy and his words have encouraged me to explore the world of data analysis and seek new challenges to solve real-life problems. Thank you so much Google for providing such a great learning experience.

IT IS A REALLY GOOD CURSE. IT taught me basics for data analysis and now im in 3rd course out of 8 courses and i find 1st course releavant in every 8 course and this course should not be skipped. if you skip this course it will be same as a good body structure of a building with a bad base which can be demolished easily.

A good start for anyone who want to get into analytics. It is a basic course and not specialization. After this you will get the gist of Data Analytics and after that other specialization courses will come in hand. If you already in this field than this is not for you but if you are new in this than this is a best start.

I've been looking at data analysis and how to make it fair. I've learned about techniques like oversampling and using all available data to include everyone. I also see the importance of managing resources and doing analysis from start to finish. Overall, I’m enjoying learning about making data analysis fair and useful.

I think that the Foundations: Data, Data, Everywhere course was of great help to organize all those concepts and knowledge that encompass the role of data analyst. The knowledge of the tools, skills, way of thinking of a data analyst increased my love and interest in data due to the importance it has in today's society.

Nobody has been able to teach me and ive always truggled to focus in college etc. Learning this way is a breath of fresh air no pressure just relaxed. I feel learning this way i can actually take the information in because of those factors. I am thrilled and cannot wait to start all of the other sections on this course.

I found this course a refresher and an eye opener all at the same time. I really enjoy that I can set my own pace, go back and review and re-watch all of the material at my leisure. It was a lot on information to digest, but very well presented without a lot of the technical speak to bog it down. A great first step.
