Very good and useful practice of SQL. The JOIN party is pretty hardcore so I definitely couldn't master it but got enough of an understanding where I could learn quickly with some on the job training.

I must say it has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The course material was exceptionally well-structured, comprehensive, and easy to understand. The teaching methods were engaging, making it easy to follow along and retain the information. I particularly enjoyed the hands-on approach and the practical exercises that allowed me to apply the concepts I learned in a real-world context.

I like the way Google constructs the course. It truly aims for beginners with no prior experience required. The contents and exercises are focused enough so that students are familiarized with the new tools introduced via repetition of exercises and lectures. The facility given, the Google Cloud Platform, together with the assignments help to put the theory into practice. I enjoy it.

I like the way the course breaks things down and often repeats key ideas and terms. It has its problems when working on BigQuery where I had some difficulties following along, but that is partly due to my primitive abilities, too. Mostly, I think it's a good course, but I will absolutely need to study more SQL on my own when I finish all 8 parts of the Data Analytics course.

This course though seemed long and undiwnding, it was challenging and rewarding at the same time with quzies,tests,projects feedback that really helped and took me to the next level. I look foward to carry my learning and apply it on Visualisation course going forward. Analyze data and make sure you have authentic data to begin with is an important step in the process.

This course gave great insights on how to analyze the data using tools like SQL and spreadsheets. It was easy to understand and thanks to resource materials it was possible to refer when stuck. Only thing I wish was if there was more hands on practices especially with the functions. Cause it can get quite confusing when using SQL and spreadsheet, due to the similarity.

This was the best course in the Google Data Analytics so far. An excellent mix of videos and practical excersizes, well aligned, perfectly organized and very pleasantly interfaced! My complements, because this course really makes you jump into the main practical approaches of Data Analysis (working with Google Sheets and SQL). Looking forward to the next course!!

I was strugling with using biq query not becasue it's difficult but i got an issue with registration for free trial and i was stuck so i unable to make it and i ended up using my sql for practice. i think i'm not the only one who had strugling with it. so maybe if i could ask, it's better to have another tools beside big query for teaching practice. thank you.

This is an essential element of analysis, and the instructor lead a fantastic facilitation of it. I learned quite a lot - not just in using the tools, but how to think through , with, and for the tools within spreadsheets and SQL. It was quite a lot to think on, learn and practice. However, I felt the curve drive in learning was huge! Kudos to the instructor!

This course is a game changer. I like how this instructor explain to write a query and how to analyze data using SQL. She is a true teacher.

I am recently hired as Data Analyst where I will be using SQL for data cleaning . Even though I have completed my certification . I always come back and see these instruction videos to learn :)

Thank you so much

This course was outstanding. I had plenty of doubts about Spreadsheets and SQL functions, and Ayanna clarified them perfectly. Besides, she explained subqueries, temporary tables, and advanced SQL topics; the hands-on activities were valuable. I liked her style. It is nice and clear. Thanks to Google, Ayanna, and Coursera for this excellent course!

The modules are well thought out. The instructors hold the attention of the student and since the lessons are only long enough for a busy person like myself, it is easier to remember and recall should there be a gap between the current lesson and the next. I truly appreciate learning at my own pace which Coursera has allowed me to do.

This is the core of the whole course , the engine of it , how to do the real skills of analysis , what is before and after is the presentation of the work here . difficult to me spent much time on this course repeating things to make sure I am doing well at it. Thank you google , you are always helpful and makes our lives better.

Generally, it was a great course but I have a few comments. Some weeks were so heavy covering so many topics to memorize which it can be due the nature of the course trying to cover many topics. The instructor was very good but again at some parts she was explaining the topics so fast that I had to stop the video and rethink about.

I finally got to know about what the analyzing step is and what we should do after a process step. Actually, here in a analyzing step, i recognized that skills of spreadsheet and SQL are essential throughout this step. Thank an instructor of this analyzing step making me open eye a new step i have never experienced.

Was a great course, was a little bit disappointed when they didn't teach me how to analyze things the way I thought they would, but it turns out I got all that I needed, plus analysis depends on the data, the business task and lots more; and this course captured the basic process of analyzing data to answer questions.

The experience has been very nice. I knew most of the things practically but didn't know the logic behind it. How its working and the mechanism. The instructor was super amazing and I really loved the way elaborated things. I believe with these tools I can enhance my skillset and provide better analytical solutions.

Good quality as always, thanks Google.

Though I found it useful to showcase SQL and Spreadsheets side by side, I am much more advanced in Excel/Spreadsheets and sometimes it was frustrating to go through the details that were already super familiar for me. But structure is great and I found useful the SQL details.

The course is thorough and takes you through the process while helping you get used to the SQL and spreadsheet. This allows you to grasp the connection between the analysis processes and the tools themselves.

If you take your time to digest it, you come away with a deeper understanding of the analysis process.

The course is great and the content is good as well. I am getting educated on some new concepts that I did not know much about and it's exciting. The journey has been good thus far. Looking forward to even learning some more and of course at the same time being able to apply what I have learned so far.

Instructor Ayanna is highly professional and concerned with making sure students(online) get a clear understanding of the course material. She is very clear in her presentation and Provides numerous quiz inbetween the course video and hands-on-activity (big query).Thank you Ms.Ayanna & team .

Nice course, with good practical examples, the functions, for example of SQL are repeated through all course, so it helps easy learn them. Just I thought that it was more complicated material about analyses process, maybe some complex calculation like using math function or statistics method
