A massive fall from the previous course (The power of Statistics) both in terms of scaffolding (especially with the Python labs) and accessibility. The key concepts that are explored within the videos, are certainly difficult to grasp but the main issue stems from the lecturer's inability to go over the basics of a concept and link it with a simple scenario to cement any foundational learning.

Terms, explanations, questions found within the practice exams and end-of-week challenges are almost shoe-horned in with very little exposure within the documentation/videos. This course is equivalent to being taught in a lesson by a teacher who passes you a textbook and tells you to read, and do all of the tasks, from a certain page. Finally, the lecturer seems almost like she doesn't want to be there/nervous when all they are doing is reading from a prompt.

I don't enjoy this part of the course as much as other parts. The instructor reads scripts like a robot. Week 4 and 5 are quite abstract. Many concepts just show the definitions without examples.

This is one of the worst course instructor I have ever seen. She's sitting still like a robot throughout the entire course. Completely visible that she's reading a script, looking over the screen. Seems like she dosen't wanted to be here in the first place. I was wondering the entire course, how the videos were approved in the final assesment? How come no one noticed the weirdest possible eye contact? I think she shouldn't conduct any other course ever.

Too many concepts without enough explanation. narration not engaging enough

I would not recommend it. I've finished half of the course and felt the course materials are mostly videos with only limited readings , and the videos are not so informative. In addition to that, the mathematical expressions are not very rigorous and sometimes confusing, with little explanation of the notations.

Regression is an excellent topic when it comes to data analysis, but the way this course has been designed is really disappointing! The video presentation is extremely poor, and the presenter sounds monotonous, almost like a robot reading a script. The course presents beautiful concepts in an overly complicated manner. Additionally, there is nothing other than the labs in this course, and the labs themselves differ somewhat from what is shown in the videos. Overall, the course appears to be poorly designed.

Disappointed with this module. I understand that there was too much to cover. But the module could have been extended. The practice lab and the project lab were vastly different. It was like learning basic arithmetic operations and being tested on calculus. The EDA steps during the project lab were not explored before, while there were ample opportunities. It is hard for a beginner to follow along. The tools used during the learning labs were not used in the project lab. Whole different tools were used. I did not learn a thing and I have to follow external resources to get my head around the concepts now.

-Not much reading material

-Speaker is boring

Disappointed by unstructured content. I started this course with a lot of enthusiasm, expecting to gain valuable knowledge and skills like I did in previous courses from this program. Unfortunately, my hopes weren't met. This course was one of the most frustrating ones I've taken on Coursera or Google. The program's previous courses excelled at building a strong foundation. They equipped me with the skills to perform tasks independently by providing clear explanations, relevant examples, and well-designed quizzes. While the first 10-15% of this course followed that format with clear explanations and engaging examples, it quickly fell apart. After just a few basic regression conceptions, the material became completely unstructured. New terms and complex concepts were thrown out without any preparation or gradual introduction. It felt like different instructors took over, rushing to cram the rest of the course into a limited timeframe. This left me feeling overwhelmed and confused. This course had the potential to be great, but the disorganization and hurried pace ultimately made it a frustrating learning experience. I wouldn't recommend it to others in its current form.

very bad tutoring! a hell load of abstract and super important things that didn’t taught clearly !! its show clearly that they only want to upload the videos for their assignment to be checked! really shallow and unprofessional tutoring! are these people really working in google ?! if they are so it shows clearly that they didn’t want to teach anything!

This course needs top-to-bottom review and many fixes (too many to list here)

It would be of a great help if there is a video of someone explaining more on how to do the end of course projects. There were so many Phyton commands that was not discussed in the course but was later required in the end of course project. This seems to be a steep hill to climb coming from a non-CS background.

The content of the course was fine. The TikTok portfolio project portion was kind of impossible. My biggest complaint is that the instructor is extremely impersonal and robotic. You could tell the whole time that she was just reading from a script, and that's not conducive to learning.

This course touches on many topics. The problem is that It touches to lightly. There is a very wide gap between the videos and lab work. Adding in smaller question sections would making learning these topics easier.

The materials and presentations are excellent, but I am not a fan of the busy work involved in the end of course PACE portfolio work. Professional presentation is certainly important, but you end up diluting the course by including so much of this material. Furthermore, having worked on many projects, I can tell you that the workflow process is so iterative that trying to "shoe horn" the process into a four letter acronym -- which is better than the six letter acronym in the previous specialization -- is both reductionistic and frankly artificial. My suggestions are as follows: remove this excess material and "re-factor" the PACE/portfolio material into one course, perhaps the capstone course. Otherwise, I learned quite a bit.

This course covered and discussed few of the important logistics regression models. Details provided for each logistics regression model was well presented and formulas were shown when it needed to be applied. This course has shown how important it is to analyze given dataset, how to process data and how a specific logistic regression model should be applied to a specific business scenario. Thanks to the main instructor who appeared for all modules of this course except last one. She explained each concept clearly and provided good supporting material. Thanks also to two instructors who appeared in last module and provided good tips and information regarding what to discuss to potential employer about various portfolio projects done in this course # 5 as well in previous courses. Thanks to Google for creating this important course as part of Google Advanced Data Analytics Professional Certificate as well to Coursera for hosting this certificate course on its learning platform.

This Advanced Data Analytics course was the perfect next step after completing the introductory Data Analytics program. It provided a truly in-depth look at the field, diving into material that significantly expanded my understanding. I especially appreciated the hands-on labs, which were invaluable in bridging the gap between theory and practical application. The course design cleverly incorporated visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning elements, creating a well-rounded and holistic educational experience. Importantly, the affordability of this program makes it an accessible option for individuals from all economic backgrounds, including those who may not be able to pursue a traditional four-year degree. It offers a fantastic opportunity for anyone with an interest in data analytics to learn, develop valuable skills, and advance their career, regardless of their financial circumstances. Highly recommended!

Course 5, 'Regression Analysis: Simplify Complex Data Relationships,' in the Advanced Data Analytics specialization by Google on Coursera has been an incredibly enriching experience. The course provided a comprehensive introduction to complex data relationships, simple linear regression, multiple linear regression, advanced hypothesis testing, and logistic regression. The end-of-course project offered a valuable opportunity to apply the newly acquired knowledge in a practical setting. I appreciate the clear explanations, real-world examples, and interactive exercises that made the learning experience engaging and impactful. This course has significantly enhanced my understanding of regression analysis and its crucial role in simplifying complex data relationships. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to delve deeper into regression analysis and its applications in data analytics.

The regression modeling project allowed me to appreciate the importance of selecting the right variables and how they can significantly impact the model's performance. It reinforced the value of assessing assumptions and model accuracy. My understanding of hypothesis tests has deepened, as I learned how to use them to evaluate the significance of individual predictors. One interesting aspect I discovered was the potential for multicollinearity, where independent variables can be correlated, leading to unstable coefficient estimates and making interpretation challenging. This project highlighted the need for careful variable selection and assessment of assumptions in regression analysis.

This course covers regression analysis in depth, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand complex data relationships. The content is challenging but well-structured, offering a lot to learn. Some reviewers criticize the instructor for not being fully engaging and primarily reading the teaching material. However, given the complexity of the subject, it's understandable—going off-script could easily lead to losing track of key concepts. With only 200 minutes to cover such an intricate topic, a structured approach is necessary. I found this course incredibly helpful and instructional. Highly recommended for those willing to engage with the material!
