    About the Course

    This is the second of three courses in the Google Business Intelligence Certificate. In this course, you'll explore data modeling and how

    this course by providing hands-on activities that simulate job tasks, sharing examples from their day-to-day work, and helping you build
    business intelligence skills to prepare for a career in the field. Learners who complete the three courses in this certificate pr...

    This course is not bad, but not great. It is certainly good enough to be followed through, and I would recommend it. However, the structure is rather messy. For a course that teaches pipelines and rules, it lacks such clarity. The course should provide more context to the lessons, at the start or before videos, etc. For example, take the section on business rules - are they meant to be something always hardcoded into a pipeline? Are they rules agreed on by stakeholders and to be implemented one way or another, not necessarily always hardcoded? Etc. That information should be provided from the outset, not as a latter point. So that it can always be clear to the learner what exactly they are learning about. That was the strength of the Google Data Analytics course. The path was clear, and the necessary key points were drilled in again and again. Here, they relied too much on remembering terminologies from glossaries from way back, or having to Google to get additional information. Towards the end, with the exemplar - that's great and all to get some additional SQL code to work with, but what is the expected output? Even a screenshot of the first ten lines of the resultant csv file would have been nice. These kind of stuff. It is fine for someone, like me, who has experience already; but not all students are like that. I am sure every learner can reach the finish line, but the path can certainly be much more refined. Again, I do recommend the course. Just that it is not structured and formatted well. But the course still works.

    Eğitim genel açıdan bakıldığında gayet iyi ancak benim fikrim bu modülünün eğitmeninin başka birisi olması yönündedir. Yanlış anlamayın konuyu anlatan kişinin konunun uzmanı olduğu aşikar ancak anlatma yöntemleri ve aktarımı konusunda başarılı olduğunu düşünmüyorum . Ve tabiki yinede bize bu eğitimi sunduğu için Eğitmene , Google'a ve Coursera'ya teşekkür ederim

    Video content is the same as reading but much less in-depth, it didn't help to understand the topic at all. Final project Activity is not in-depth enough to understand any practical SQL or BI skills, but just spend time to know the GCP BigQuery file upload process. The whole course 2 is really disappointing compare with course 1.
