Data analysis plays a crucial role in Google's programs, enabling them to derive valuable insights and make data-driven decisions. With the vast amount of data generated by Google's platforms and services, data analysis helps uncover patterns, trends, and correlations to improve user experience and enhance their products. By analyzing user behavior, search patterns, and ad performance, Google can optimize its algorithms, personalize search results, and deliver targeted advertisements to users.

Google utilizes various techniques and tools for data analysis, including statistical analysis, machine learning, and data visualization. These approaches enable them to process and interpret complex data sets, extract meaningful information, and identify areas for improvement. Through data analysis, Google can identify user preferences, understand market trends, and refine their products and services to meet customer needs.

User feedback, surveys, and sentiment analysis provide valuable qualitative data that complements the quantitative data analysis. This holistic approach helps Google gain a comprehensive understanding of user needs and preferences.

Overall, data analysis is an integral part of Google's operations, driving innovation, and improving their services. By leveraging data insights, Google continues to enhance its products, deliver personalized experiences, and shape the future of technology.

As someone who is already a data analyst and wants to go back to learn the basics (I learned data analysis as a necessity of my work, not intentionally), I found this course highly useful. It can be a bit repetitive at times, but it does not take that long to get through all the course content. In contrast, I value being drilled repeatedly on all the steps, especially on the 'thinking '-related ones. I think it is very valuable to be reminded to always take a step back and consider the data and steps from different angles. Those that just want to get to the technical bit will probably not find this course as useful though.

Everything you need to know about the data, its all here. From basic level to an advanced level, how to see data as data and what the steps involved in the data analysis process, have been explained with proper understanding.

It was a super intro to the field of data analysis! There were many questions I had to solve myself in my head, and now I am more confident about what I want. At the same time, it motivates me to continue.

teaches me the principle of data analysis, & it's up to me how to apply it. rather than 'copy & paste' what the previous person has done, I can make it my own based on what i want to achieve.

Successfully I have completed the first course of the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate. What I learn from this fundamental course “Foundations: Data, Data, Everywhere”, I just share with you all.

The systematization of the analytics process was exceptionally helpful - probably the best takeaway of the entire certificate program. This course is a great intro to data analytics skill. It introduces tools such as spreadsheets and SQL. Found out why I'm always analytical about things in my personal life and the critical thinking that this provides.

I enjoyed the stories that the different instructors shared, and can feel that they are personable people. I appreciate the work put into this!It would be nice if the subsequent text included a link to the section with the information because I felt some of the answers were difficult to go back and find.

Good basic overview and introduction.

Some inconsistencies in volume level and lack of continuity between video sessions made the course difficult to listen to at times.

Because it's so basic, if you have any experience at all you will find many of the exercises--especially the writing exercises--very tedious and not particularly helpful.

The course's framing of holistic/accurate/open-minded analysis as "fairness" is confusing and could easily prove problematic in the formation of new analysts.

This course provides an interesting panorama of data analysis. I believe it to be a good starting point for those pursuing this career path. I think the course should add an interactive SQL component and possibly also an interactive spreadsheet component in which participants can see the results of queries and get automatedd feedback on whether they match intended results.

I posted a question in the discussion forums and have not received a reply. So yeah the staffs are dead. This whole course could have ended in 3 modules honestly. Like there are a bunch of fillers in this course sadly. But 70% of the course was nice to go through and learn different things and get started on the data science bandwagon.

I found the course and pace very interesting and liked the ratio of videos to readings to logs etc. However, I felt the SQL and Query section needed way more practice for beginners like me. I don't think the section covered it enough to really get a grasp of SQL.

Comprehensive introduction to the data analytics methodology. It is especially helpful for people who are starting from scratch. If you scored well enough at the quiz and know excel, feel free to jump directly to the second course.

It'll be much more beneficial to indicate why an answer is wrong instead of returning to an entire video, because sometimes it's not really clear why the answer is wrong

I already attached my coursera account to Google, that is why even if I log into the coursera system from incognito mode the Qwiklabs keep getting an error as I am logged into my personal google account. That is so frustrating. Please fix it!
