I like the learning content. Before joining this module, I've started yb myself to learn excel and python. However, those are more or less isolated points - I don't have the landscape of Data Analytics process. But in this one I saw it. I also recommend people who are interested in Data Analytics and yet start off - you please start from this module.

It was a very methodical and well organised course. My only compaint is that the lecture videos, even though short and information - packed, were extremely fast paced. So, I had to keep pausing the videos to turly grasp. However, that could be just me. Overall I am very satisfied with this course so I will be giving it 5 stars as I learnt a lot.

It lets you understand the significance of Data and how it is used in almost all sectors. It might not always need technical skills but also involves non-technical skills of storytelling and communicating with data. Overall a must study course to anyone who is in touch with data in one form or the other in order to brush their basics.

The experience was great!

The highlight of the learning experience is the video as opposed to reading text. I'd leave it on play driving to work. This allows quick access to the opportunity of internalizing the lessons through repetition leaving me with a hunger to get in the door of the world of analytics.

Thank you Coursera team.

Great Course, especially for someone who has little to no knowledge in this specific field.

Having the videos along with the reading material made it easy for me, to pick up where I left off especially after a long hiatus

Being able to go back and retake the practice exams was also useful to help retain the information learned

j'ai aimé ce cours, ce cours est très bien concu de manière à ce que tout le monde se sente concerné par les technologies de la big data, et qu'il peut devenir un acteur dans ce domaine. j'ai remarqué des CPA qui ont donnés leurs avis dans leurs utilisations quotidienne des données et celà m'a motivé à terminer ce programme.
