Thank you for the course! It's a nice introduction to SQL and Google Big Query as well as the concepts of data privacy and security. The course also offers some great tips for professional networking.

The lessons were easy to follow through and the explanantions were easy to understand. The hands-on practices also helped improve hands-on skills with the data analysis tools introduced in this course

The theory covered is not bad. However, there is a disproportionate imbalance between theory and practice opportunities. I was only able to follow along the lessons on SQL because of prior knowledge. The lessons on SQL were covered superficially and in haste. Don't think it even qualifies as a basic introduction. The quizzes are also poorly designed. Given that this was a course exclusively on 'preparing data', it should have been more practical. I felt a sense of fatigue while completing the course.

NOT for beginners. A lot of being talked at. ZERO hands on activities. You will need to google a lot of answers to pass tests because you are told "you'll learn this later on" and then a questions will pop up on a graded quiz. I despise this course, honestly and am only continuing so i can get this certificate. I legit wanted to learn data analytics but at this point my interest is dwindling. I learned more about SQL from a LinkedIn connection and their weekly newsletter. AND IT WAS FREE

It is not user-friendly. Plus the course content in video series is very less compared to how much a person has to read. If we have to read, then it is better we consult a book. I think the structure of the certificate can be improved by understanding how other course are provided by top rated universities where they force our learning to stick with us by making it more enjoyable. I am not enjoying the course at this stage and it feels like too much reading always.
