About the Course

This is the fifth course in the Google Data Analytics Certificate. In this course, you’ll explore what it means to actually analyze your data. You’ll take what you’ve learned up to this point and apply it to make sense of the data you’ve collected. You’ll learn how to organize and format your data using spreadsheets and SQL to help you look at and think about your data in different ways. You’ll also find out how to perform complex calculations with your data to address business objectives. You’ll learn how to use formulas, functions, and SQL queries as you conduct your analysis. Current Google data analysts will continue to instruct and provide you with hands-on ways to accomplish common data analyst tasks with 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: - Learn how to organize data for analysis. - Understand the processes for formatting and adjusting data. - Explore how to aggregate data in spreadsheets and by using SQL. - Use formulas and functions in spreadsheets to make data calculations. - Learn how to complete calculations using SQL queries....

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.

An excellent course for learning analysis techniques using Spreadsheets and SQL. Recommended for all engineering and data science students as well as for those managing businesses and human resource.

If you are new to Data Analytics, this course is not for you! This course is extremely fast paced. The instructors don't explain any of the clauses in much detail or when to use them. The instructors pretty much have us copying and pasting the work they are doing and thats about it. Very disappointing course. I am currently enrolled into two other courses so I can try my best to try and keep up with this one.

Another thing, if you need help throughout any of this course there will be nobody there to assist you.

Good Luck!

For the price you're paying this unit is full of mistakes that have only been updated via pop-up message. The instructor is terrible, making mistakes and rushing through SQL queries while also devoting entire segments unimportant topics like "Don't give up". Myself and many users have had to resort to going to the forums to get the proper syntax for queries.

Phenomenal course and course instructor! You have made the complex SQL queries quite easy to understand and follow through. Great job!

Notably, some of the video lessons had very low volumes.

This course gives the limited knowledge about SQL. Some SQL query used in this course is advanced and the instructor write those query without providing enough explanation. And yes this course is great for introducing the process of data analysis but it is needed to take extra SQL course to grasp some of queries. Good part of this course is the instructor was great.

Ran into a lot of issues using BigQuery during this course- I understand that Google wants to highlight its own products, but courses I've taken that use things like SQLLite or MySQL in a virtual desktop were far more conducive to my learning than this. It also would have been nice to get a more in-depth breakdown of why the queries were structured in certain ways, it's hard to learn/understand any of that without using outside resources and this course will NOT prepare you for real-life work scenarios, in my opinion. Everything with Google Sheets went really smoothly, however!

The instructor is clearly knowledgably and highly skilled. However, for people new to programming languages, there were many advanced concepts that were overwhelming. Additionally, some of the follow along SQL videos were much faster than they should have been and lacked explanation on a deeper level.

I was disappointed in the quality of this course. Multiple videos cut off at the end, so many pop ups offering corrections to mistakes made by the instructor, Ayanna moves too fast and doesn't explain things sufficiently while building queries. This has been the weakest course of the 5 so far.

Very confusing course. The instructor explained everything too fast. Of all courses so far I have done of the Google Data Analytics Certificate, this is the only one I haven't enjoyed, and the one I was looking forward the most

Weeks 1 and 2 are pretty good, but then the rest just went from 0 to 100 in last then a second. Pace is way too high, specially in the SQL parts. On week 3, I left with a lot more questions than answers.

Needs more SQL practice of queries to be honest. Just having the students ram SQL examples and type them out.

I think this course was lacking a lot, I rushed through most of the topics, the labs were also confusing

This course was very confusing at times. It needs to be edited again, badly. As others have stated in their reviews, the difficulty of this course is significantly higher than that of the first four courses for the certification, but almost needlessly so. A lot of the difficulty stemmed from the fact that many of the SQL statements simply _do not_ work as written in BigQuery, despite the video showing them written and executed in BigQuery.

Concepts explained in the later parts of the course are used as part of numerous SQL statements in in the earlier parts of the course without any introduction or explanation. Many of the SQL statements are also used without any explanation at all. This is a great example of showing someone how to do something, but failing to explain why something works the way it does, or why a particular method is used over another option.

Really disappointing. The way they teach you to use tools in this (and other) courses required to obtain the Data Analytics Certificate is chaotic and unordered. You'll jump back and forth between different tools so much that you'll feel like you only learn a surface level trick, get a quick pat on the back, and then are treated like "you're now ready!". You're not and this course is fooling you into thinking so. While these courses do provide an overview, you should also do courses specifically on SQL and other tools here if you really want deep knowledge and familiarity with them.

Needed access to material like the glossary and some spreadsheets as they were locked. Things were not explained as clearly as they were in the other courses. Which made it difficult to take notes and pass the exams. Also had 2 Qwiklabs that wouldn't work properly. I couldn't download the worksheets to do the labs. Not impressed with this course

Overall, this was the best one so far since it wasn't all review like some of the first ones were. That's on me because I come into this with some experience and the setup is so you don't have any. However, I can imagine if you don't have any SQL experience this could have been more challenging. There are some hands on activities, but not enough to really get the learner completely comfortable with new syntax and thought processes.

IT WAS A GREAT COURSE. I LEARNT A LOT INSPITE OF THE FACT THAT THIS ISNT MY FIRST DATA ANALYTICS COURSE. MOST OF THE INSTRUCTORS DID A GREAT JOB EXCEPT FOR ONE IN MY OPINION. I WOULD HAVE HOWEVER LOVED TO BE ABLE TO SEEK THE INSTRUCTORS HELP FOR SOME CLARIFICATION WHILST DOING MY PROJECT THOUGH.

THANKS A LOT TO THE WHOLE CREW.

Course is easy to follow along, but to really get good at it you'll need to set time aside and go through the helpful links they provide you. I've bookmarked them all and grouped them by category (i.e. SQL, BigQuery, etc.). This way they'll be great references later on in your career.

Quiero resaltar los grandes cambios que ha tenido esta plataforma en pro de fortalecer por medio de la práctica de labs y diferentes ayudas audiovisuales los diferentes conceptos y temarios.
