This is my first course in Coursera. I appreciated the high level views of data analytics and review of many of the processes and tools used therein. I found a couple of the quiz questions to be a bit subjective, referencing specific speakers' views on the topic. But, this is not enough to not recommend this course. The final exam is a guided exercise in data analysis that offers a great balance of giving the student a challenge while also making it attainable. This exam is also peer reviewed. I did not like that one of my responses was marked down because it did not exactly match the key of "some of" the possible correct answers, when I believe I either fully met or exceeded the requirements for full credit on that question. Again, the course is still worth taking.

It was a nice course to assist an individual in the more "philosophical," and conceptual nature of Data Analytics. Which is good for a beginners, so it was a good course. After the "Week 1" series of lectures and quizzes, I noted between quiz attempts that the questions stayed the same.

I would recommend changing up the question bank between graded and practice quiz attempts as it then requires someone to pay close attention to the lectures and engage themselves in the method(s) to best help themself learn. Even the conceptual topics can help tie together a subject matter and provide a learner with a solid foundation in understanding future topics/areas of study.

This is a great course that can be completed in about 2 weeks if you're working about 4 hours per day. It is a good overview of Data Analytics and the tools/knowledge required to do the job. I took away one star because I think that the course would be easier to absorb if the slides better supported the information that is being conveyed. The slides are in complete sentences instead of bullet pointed so it requires the student to stop after each slide and create bullet points to match the verbiage from the video or else right down word for word what the instructor is saying (which is a great deal). Otherwise a great course that goes very quickly.

I enjoyed this course, and there would be two things that would make the experience better. 1. Provide formative practice opportunities during the short videos. Several new terms and concepts were introduced, and breaking them up and providing opportunities for practice before the quiz at the end of each week would be helpful. Second, the peer review section was great to review answers, but from a UX perspective, it wasn't easy to differentiate the student's work vs the rubric. It would be helpful to make it clearer by using bold or highlights in the box.
