I love it so much... It is a course suitable for a newbie especially one who is interested in the subject but no relevant educational background.

It does not only provide you the concept of business analytics, it also talks about the career pathway.

Did NOT feel like an introduction at all. This is an in-depth overview of data analytics that I would recommend to anyone who wants to dip their toes in all things data. Tools from a wide range of providers are mentioned, not just from IBM.

At the risk of seeming basic or repetitive, from this course you can get some super structured notes on what it is, how it is managed and how useful data analytics is. Let's go for the next one, let's see how much the difficulty increases!

Me parece excelente la manera en la que explican, el chat IA que te ayuda a repasar, las notas que se pueden guardar, el aprendizaje es autónomo, pero aún así se siente que se esta acompañado durante el proceso de aprendizaje del curso.
