All content was related and helpful, the only issue I see is the final assessment, peer graded. It looks like some students who want to get feedback on others', do not read the answers at all !

A very structured course to give basic and useful insight to the world of data analysis. From zero, one absorbs the possible levels of details and requirements to get into the world of data analysis.
