I just finished the 2nd Course in the Google Data Analyst course - even though I have experience in the field, this course reminded of areas that I should focus on and work to strengthen my skills in.

Everything was perfect but some questions on the practice and graded quizzes were tricky. The answers conflicted from the point of view side so it might need a better explanation for the right answer.

I am disappointed and angry for being mocked on this course. I don't want to explain more. Your course sucks. Life teaches more. I will learn what I need to learn slowly by myself but definitely I will not allow myself to be mocked and follow your lead anymore. YOU MAKE EVERYONE SIGN AN AGREEMENT THAT THEY WOULD CONTINUE THE COURSE Yet YOU DONT CHECK WHAT YOU ARE SHARING FOR OTHERS. That's an insult for my IQ.

I believe that all of the content for this could have been summed up in less than an hour. There is so much "fluff" it feels like they are saying the same thing 10-20 times over. It is difficult to stay watching, and you can easily pass all the quizzes on common sense alone without watching any of the videos. Nothing here really teaches you any work experience.

I was very excited by this speicialisation but I am currently very disapointed. I don't understand why it was spread in so many courses with very little material to learn in between courses. The videos are very short with tons of weird reading materials in between and multiple choice quizes. I really wanted and advanced and practical course.

It's either the instructor were not clear or this course was not written in a oragainzed way. It's almost painful to watch the course videos. The material was very superfical. Also, please stop recommending StackFlow.com. It's almost impossible to ask a question there without being criticized by some of stupid members and the website!!

The title of the course did not match what was taught in the course. After the first course filled with foundational material, I was hoping for something in depth but there was none to be found. Once again, there was too much focus of jargon that one would need after they have already become a data analyst.

In the videos with instructor Ximena, her shirt was too small and I could see her breasts. That made me feel extremely uncomfortable and on edge the entire time I had to complete this course. It's shocking to me that a Google sponsored course would allow something like this.

It was very difficult to complete this course. No. it is not difficult. It is BORING . They explain basic things over and over again. Repeating them twice and more. A brief introduction would be enough! People need PRACTICAL stuff, not theoretical.

The course is good but the way Coursera counts minutes of Quiz is pathetic. It didn't bother to stop the time when I paused it due to an urgent errand and failed me in the course Quiz. Please improve the interface.

Well, a 30-minute YouTube video will teach you way more than any of the content in this course. I suggest skipping these courses and heading towards YouTube if you really want to learn data analytics.

Continues the same trend as the previous module of too much talking and little useful information. Honestly this specialization should probably be targeted for high school students

ROI in this course very low. Only basic excel function like min, max, sum, average, and a lot of common sense stuff what to do and what not to do...

How about improving by adding your introductionary courses to the other courses' inside, spreading is so appriciable? Thank you for reading my post.

This course is a little too general and is only suitable for students with no work experience in any field.

Really boring context.

You could have showed the same content with less than half of the videos duration.

Not descriptive enough and does not help you create examples, relies too much on your own imagination
