The Skill of asking the right questions is usually very underrated and many people just overlook it. That's why I'm appreciative of google for teaching this core skill and making it super interesting.

I just finished the 2nd Course in the Google Data Analyst course - even though I have experience in the field, this course reminded of areas that I should focus on and work to strengthen my skills in.

It feels like a course that should be at the end or near the end of the overrall course. i am confused by It being the second course. Ximena was lovely but this course did not need to be here or to take as long as it did.

The course is not really what its title suggests. The first half DOES focus on asking questions though too brief while the second half completely gets off the track by focusing on spreadsheet and communication skills.

Finally something technical here in the third week of the second course, where basic Google Spreadsheets was taught. Other than that, mostly filler content that puts you to sleep and forget the next day.

Curse name "Ask question to make data-driven decisions" but only talk about SMART QUESTION. The 20% of this course represent the curse, but the rest 80% is talking about introduction spreadsheet

Redundant and feels more like they are preparing you to apply at Google than becoming a Data Analyst. Very little interesting content in this course and might discourage people to continue.

Pretty basic, with very ambiguous questions. Many of which have multiple correct answers that could give the wrong idea to someone new to analytics. I would not really recommend this one.

Similar critique to the first course; extremely little hands-on work and many hours of videos drilling basic concepts that anyone who has a job before should already know.

It was very basic and I would like to immediately advance to technical aspect. I don't really have any experience, so I decided not to skip, but this was really dragging.

I loved the information, but honestly, I didn't really like Ximena. I don't like how her tone is very monotone. She is like a robot. I hope Hallie is not like this.

This course seemed to drag along without a lot of critical information. Seemed like you could watch the videos while doing something else and still pass with a 90%

I was expecting to learn more about asking questions. I found the course speaking about all aspects from asking questions to data sharing! I hoped to be focused

A bit of good info in here and a good excel refresher, but oh my god I don't need to spend multiple hours learning how to communicate in the workplace.

My only complaint over the content: very repetitive and hollow content, feels like you are learning but also not learning at the same time..

Too many terms and concepts that are common sense. Not much hands-on. Some quiz questions are not clear and relevant.

Heavy on soft skills, light on technical skills.

I’m not confident this will qualify me for a Junior role.

It was kind of boring and stale and it was hard for me to do. (im also 16 so my opinion is invalid)

I understand that this was a course on asking questions but it was hard to stay interested in.

very basic, with a little bit of information which should've been shortened into 1 week max.

Quite a number of unnecessary stuff for a data analyst. Especially the communication part.

The introduction to Speadsheets part was confusing, rest of the course was well planned.

The course was very slow. It could have been quicker and focused more on hard skills
