The Skill of asking the right questions is usually very underrated and many people just overlook it. That's why I'm appreciative of google for teaching this core skill and making it super interesting.

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.

Es una excelente guía para iniciar el proyecto indicando la forma de hacer preguntas para conocer los objetivos, expectativas, retos, participantes, tiempos de término de los proyectos, así como, para establecer la comunicación con los miembros del equipo de trabajo y con los clientes interesados (stakeholders).

this type of courses is pretty new to me because I'm not used to non-technical skills such as communication skills and because I can't really work with this skill unless I got a job somewhere. But in the learned new stuff, become better at excel and I learnt that I should not let the stakeholders to rush on me.

This course is packed with insightful topics carefully selected for anyone looking to jump into data analytics. I like the fact that it uses practical and real-world examples to drive the point home.

It's 4.5/5. But I have to choose five stars because a four stars rating is not fair.

The course over-covering the questions and behaviors that should be implemented in different situations. It might have been simpler.

Ximena is a great instructor. I want to thank her for her great efforts. I will really miss her.

Best analysts dig deep to unserstand what really matters before getting their hands dirty, asking and really listening is paramount, this course gives great tips and techniques to start any data analytics task on the right foot, but hopefully also this brings a mindset change to do this better. Great course!

Informative. User friendly. Polished video presentations. Knowledgeable presenters.

Discussion boards encouraged you to interact with fellow students. You could learn by reading about their work experiences. There was Interesting material in the discussions for the student who had the patience to sift it.

I really enjoyed this course. The thing I really appreciated is the time that was taken to discuss effective communication and conflict resolution. Both of these are very important in daily life, as well as in the workplace. I am looking forward to starting the next course in this certificate program!

I enjoyed this course very much. At times I thought to myself that I would never remember all of it for the Final Course Challenge. But, the way it is structured and the way the Google instructor, Ximena, presented the material was so positive and well done that I knew I could do it when the time came.

Another really enjoyable course, which was well presented and engaging. Only minor issue was some problems with some of the spreadsheets I downloaded having different date and time formats which didn't work with UK dates in Excel - however I found a fix on the internet so learn something else new!! :)

So sar, so good. A lot of it was kind of a review, so I played the videos at 2x speed instead of fast-tracking out of the module. But that's what's nice about this program, you can fast track through parts that you're familiar with or, if you're an absolute beginner, you can really take your time.

This course provides an excellent opportunity to brush one's skills in Excel provided the learner takes seriously to the study material given in the links. It also lets the learner delve into the depth of a thoughtful process regarding basic but crucial take off with the analytical problem at hand.

When I started the course I thought it was just amazing how the instructor clearly explains everything but when i reached the end I was completely mindblown. It went from being amazing to 100 times better, I loved the content from week 4 and this is probably some of the best learning i've ever done.

The course is informative to make you think in the way that you would need to think and communicate in the company this will help learners to take the right call to classify between words which generally are confusing to people this course helps to clarify the thoughts on those words more clearly.

Ximena did excellently well. I learned a lot from this course as well as the first. I was specially intrigued by the function analysis on Spreadsheet exercise. It's like I'm already a seasoned data analyst but there is a long way to go. The results so far exceed my widest expectations. Thank you.

Very important non-technical skills are taught in this course. These skills are very useful when dealing with a real project in real life. Most people focus too much on the data analytics tools, but the skills taught in this course are very crucial to ensure the success of data analysis projects.

Wow, this was a phenomenal course. Learning about topics such as meetings, conflict resolution and structured thinking were aspects of analysis I had never considered but I found them very informative with tons of excellent advice. This course was definitely worth the time and effort I invested.

the course is good and the material is planned in a very constructive way, however i think the detail material would be more suitable for a green hand, meaning someone with 0-1 year(s) of work experience, which could be redundant for someone who has work experience looking to learn a new skill.

This course is great. I learnt a lot. I'd recommend it 100%. I learnt the difference between reports and dashboards. I learnt the difference between Primary and Secondary stakeholders and a lot more. I am also happy about my soft skills as regards handling conflicts and disagreements at work
