I don't usually say something is perfect, because it may sound that it can't be improved, but I'll make an exception for Introduction to Data Analytics from IBM and Coursera. This training was perfectly designed, organized and structured. The theory behind each concept and the association with the software you need to use for the different types of work is excellent. The course is very well balanced, the exams are concise and above all the course never let me lose the initiative or the interest to learn more concepts. Well done!

If you are thinking about pursuing a career in the Data Analytics world but have a bit, or no knowledge at all about it, I would totally recommend you to start with this Course. From my experience, I started this Course a bit apprehensive as I didn't have any bases in this area but it was truly wonderful. It explains all the basics in the data ecosystem and also gives you an inside of how it is to work as a Data Analyst. I was truly impressed and recommend it 200%

Can't wait for the next one :)

My introduction to your Data analytics course was an eye opener . I am 51 and took a career break after working for 26 years . Wondering what I could do with my time I came across your course , dwelt on doing it and finally decided that it would open up avenues to the future for me . And it did . The first course have kept me equally hopeful that what I learnt from you will only improve my future career prospects. I am looking forward to the next couse.

Thanks for making it awesome. 👏 😊 🙏

This course is very helpful if you are trying to understand what the profession of a data analyst is really about, what skills are required for it and what software you need to be familiar with. I found all explanations clear and viewpoints of professional data analysts useful. What I would like to see added to the course is a couple more use cases from practice like in the video "A day in life of a Data Analyst", it gives you the feel of the job, which could be valuable for learners.

A great overview of what Data Analytics is, what you can do with it, what to expect a day in the life to be as an Analyst, career options, and what programs are used for what purpose. This was very helpful for wrapping my head around what to start with, what career paths I might want to take, and what job functions I'm interested in. A career in Analytics seems a lot more possible now, and I'm looking forward to entering and growing in the field!

This course was really intuitive and needed less effort to get comfortable at. I love IBM courses because of their organized structure, brevity and problem centric nature of the labs and final assignment. I was a very great experience overall and that applies to all their courses I have taken so far.

I think the peer review sections after marking by the first reviewer should be cross-checked by at least one more reviewer.

As expected, this course, from a leader in the data analytics/science field, provides an excellent overview of the state of the art in data analytics. Unlike other courses that I tried in the topic, this offering hit the ground running by emphasizing high-yield points from both the official material and the expert viewpoints. I am looking forward to finish the Professional Certificate where this course belongs.

Some parts of the course are too technical and quite overwhelming in detail but everything is absolutely essential. It gives a clear direction despite the many paths of data analytics. All the overwhelming details precisely will inform you of what you can do and still be even if you're literally a beginner with zero background in data. I also admire that the course highlighted women as data professionals.

This is a great introduction to the field, and also a very good opportunitiy to figure out if this is “the field for you” bucause you get enough details about multiple aspects among the point of view of professionals, making it easy to metitate upon the subject and realize if it relates to your current or aspired capabilities as well if the whole specialization will take you toward your goals.

Overall the course was great except for the indepth analysis of various aspects of Analytics which are considered good for beginners. A major part of the course involved continuous back and forth analysis of the information being shared.

I'm happy to involve in this course and looking forward to seeing myself working with large data sets and show-off my Analytics and programing skills.
