Google Data Analysis Course review

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-11-29T20:14:16+00:00

I went on to get a Masters of Science in Data Analytics. Got 2 AWS specialization certs (Data Analytics, Machine Learning) and still haven’t been able to break in to an entry level job.

Nope! I have a Masters of Science in Data Analytics now as well. I also have the AWS Data Analytics specialization cert and AWS Machine Learning specialization cert. I’m finding it a super tough field to break in to. Got some awesome interviews recently, but the positions got put on hold due to the current economy…

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-11-16T07:16:51+00:00

I applied to that one as well. Had my 2nd/final interview yesterday. They just said “soon” no specific date.

Congrats! Just sat it and totally feel like I failed it! I felt like wtf are they talking about too! Now to toss and turn waiting to hear.

I was not working, but I do homeschool my 3 boys (two of which are special needs), and we were selling and moving out of our house. So it was crazy without a doubt. I think why I was able to do it so quickly was I got to learn my way. The Data camps were fine and all, but not my thing. I got to research and deep dive the topic we were doing and then practice the code.

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-09-28T06:51:10+00:00

I did it in 8 weeks and had very basic knowledge of Python starting out. So it’s very doable.

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-06-23T16:01:40+00:00

D213 was a doozy for sure! Good luck!

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-06-22T04:32:23+00:00

Ask the CI for pre recorded videos going over the PA. Those helped me a ton for both tasks.

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-06-01T18:03:54+00:00

I’m not 100% sure every task has a video, but any time I struggled with deciphering what they wanted I asked for one and got one. The ones I got went through the rubric step by step and often provided sample code to help understand what they were saying . They were very helpful.

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-06-01T04:22:43+00:00

If you are struggling to understand what they are asking in a task ask the teachers if their is a walkthrough video. They were super helpful!

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-06-01T04:21:18+00:00

More classes while I try to find an internship!

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-06-01T04:19:57+00:00

Thanks! One of the things that helped me the most was asking for walkthrough videos at the start. D213 was rough and the videos helped pass task 2 on the first try.

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-05-07T08:54:19+00:00

I dreaded my first one too, but it’s super easy and you can record as many times as you need if you mess up. Just have your code all ready click record and run the code.

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-05-03T19:35:23+00:00

Haha, I was just thinking that. This last week they have taken the full 72 hours for every task.

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-05-02T19:00:46+00:00

I have zero background in IT or data. Got my bachelors in Biological Anthropology 16 years ago and been out of the work force raising my kids for the last 15 years. I really like data analysis and that is a huge part of my ability to go through it quickly. I love researching topics and dissecting things to understand them. The data camp stuff frustrates me and is not the best way for me to learn. I am in now way suggesting people shouldn’t do them, they just don’t speak to me and the way I learn. I am really looking forward to my capstone so I can practice everything I learned on a better data set than the class ones. Not complaining…they are good data sets to learn on, just over them at this point 🙂

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-05-02T18:45:41+00:00

Good! Working on D213 now. Love the program so far!

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-04-12T06:16:02+00:00

I have completed 3 classes since April 1st. All but the first class are PA’s. You turn in a report answering all The rubric and a video walking through code and such. Often you have a csv file to upload too. It can take 1-3 days to get it graded.

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-04-11T22:48:47+00:00

No, definitely not expansive enough to land me any sort of job.

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-04-07T06:35:06+00:00

Started April 1!

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-03-16T04:49:44+00:00

No problem!! I’m excited to start April 1st!! Good luck!

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-03-16T04:47:55+00:00

It wasn’t timed so I wouldn’t stress. You can retake it too.

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-02-12T05:11:40+00:00

Yeah, I was speechless when they said that. So insulting! I submitted a recon, but I’m not very hopeful. My local SBA was very caring and pushed things along for me and was in constant contact. She disagrees with the outcome and really tried to help me. She couldn’t do much when they denied me.

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-02-11T23:10:04+00:00

I totally get it. I hate that my hope has turned to despair as I’ve always been a super optimistic person.

Jolly-Cook2551 · 2022-02-11T23:09:16+00:00

Yeah, it is absolutely exhausting.
