I love how the course it's not limited to teach about the technical skills of a data analyst professional, but it also helps you discover some soft skills that make you a better human resource.

As a beginner, I really appreciated the ease and pace of the course. The videos were explanatory, the reads weren't over-whelming, and the hands-0n activities were very easy to follow and comprehend.

I liked that some assignments had me use SQL and get more comfortable using it. However I would have liked more assignments using SQL and Sheets to get more practice. Otherwise was pretty fun.
