This is the first course in the Google Data Analytics Certificate. Organizations of all kinds need data analysts to help them improve their processes, identify opportunities and trends, launch new products, and make thoughtful decisions. In this course, you’ll be introduced to the world of data analytics through hands-on curriculum developed by Google. The material shared covers plenty of key data analytics topics, and it’s designed to give you an overview of what’s to come in the Google Data Analytics Certificate. Current Google data analysts will instruct and provide you with hands-on ways to accomplish common data analyst tasks using the best tools and resources. Learners who complete this certificate program will be equipped to apply for introductory-level jobs as data analysts. No previous experience is necessary. By the end of this course, learners will: - Gain an understanding of the practices and processes employed by a junior or associate data analyst in their day-to-day job. - Learn about key analytical skills (data cleaning, data analysis, data visualization) and tools (spreadsheets, SQL, R programming, Tableau) that you can add to your professional toolbox. - Discover a wide variety of terms and concepts relevant to the role of a junior data analyst, such as the data life cycle and the data analysis process. - Evaluate the role of analytics in the data ecosystem. - Conduct an analytical thinking self-assessment. - Explore job opportunities available to you upon program completion, and learn about best practices you can leverage during your job search.

Having little certificates along the way helps me feel accomplished and proud of myself. reaching smaller goals along the way to my large goal is exciting and makes me excited to learn the next steps.

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.

Even though it was just an introduction and basics, I learned a lot about data analysis. Glad to be here with this course and the tutors. This course is very interesting and quite easy to understand.
MT
I found this course to be very informative in the basics of the field data analyst but I have taken other courses in data analysis/ science and therefore I don't know if I am biased by my experience.
NC
i love the course as it helped me understand the importance of asking the right questions, understanding the problem and expectations of stakeholders and impotance and the right way of communicatilon.
HM
I truly recommend this course. It will change your mind about how you see things, and how things happen around any business or even at your own house. Data and collection of data get to conclusions.

Too many introductory lessons that aren't useful at all. Week 1&2&3 won't teach you anything. Too much talk and not enough useful information being said. I don't really care about the personal stories of Google employees, I'm here to learn something.
This was extremely basic and not much help. I do not see how this will contribute to finding a job.
Overall, I thought it was a great introduction to the topics that will be covered in the certificate. A couple of areas for growth in my opinion:
1 - For the quizzes when you get an answer wrong, ideally, you are provided the right answer so you can learn from your mistake, but alternatively, it would be nice if the subsequent text included a link to the section with the information because I felt some of the answers were difficult to go back and find.
2 - I don't like that the glossary builds on itself as you go through the course because then you end up with multiple incomplete glossary documents. It would be better to just include one full glossary to be downloaded, perhaps with highlighted colors corresponding to their respective sections in the course.
Thanks!
This course felt very basic. It could have been condensed into 2-3 weeks. The beginning concepts of data life cycle, data analysis skills, and all the material covered in weeks 1-3 could have been condensed to 1 week and weeks 4-5 material could have been condensed into another week. I don't feel like I've learned anything concrete in this course because weeks 1-3 brushes on how to think as a data analyst, and weeks 4-5 only slightly brushes on spreadsheets and SQL. In addition, I looked over the discussion forums, I don't think participation in them are helpful. It says participation is optional, but it marks me off and says that I haven't completed the entire course. The good thing is that I can watch videos in a higher speed and can fast forward to the the next weeks if I move ahead. However, I worry that the course might be dragged on and some students can lose interest. I enjoyed the stories that the different instructors shared, and can feel that they are personable people. I appreciate the work put into this!
I liked the videos a lot, I just didn't get the point of the journal entries.

Solid "big picture" refresher course before getting into the more technical stuff I'm sure down the road, even for folks with backgrounds in math and science but haven't used it years (okay, decades).

I just finished the course. This course was great not only the materials but also the instructor.
Once again, the course so mind blowing. I feel more confidence to do data analyst.
Thanks Google

A lot of small talk and very less knowledge
I was hoping to get some practice but it is all talk and very little practice, I couldn't believe it when it said the course is completed and I have gotten my certificate. I don't feel comfortable to apply for a job. I am googling and watching YouTube videos to learn what I supposed to be learning here. I learned nothing here except some definitions I could have googled. kinda bumped and sad
To all the instructors, thank you so much for taking the time to create this resource. The high-quality production and real-world examples make this the best data analytics course I've enrolled in.
I really love how they explain concepts about data, share experience , easy to understand and improved my foundation about data. The assignments and quizzes really helped me in undestanding the course
A complete and utter waste of time. There was perhaps 5% useful info (the SQL portion) and 95% garbage meant to waste everyone's time to create the illusion of academia.
This training has been incredibly helpful to me. Even though the term or precise stage is unclear, I have been working as a data analyst for a while. After taking this course, I feel really competent.
As a beginner I am feeling great to choose this course. All the concepts has been presented in such a easy and simple manner, everything is perfectly arranged that's make ease our learning. Thank you.
