Premise

In this review series, I will be reviewing the IBM Data Analyst Professional Certificate from Coursera as I make progress with each course included in the program. I will split the review based on the course so in this post I am reviewing the first course in the series: Introduction to Data Analytics

The objective of this course is to introduce you to concepts in data analysis including data types, the data ecosystem, the pipeline of data gathering, collection, cleaning, analysis, and visualizations, and of course how to communicate results.

Expected Time of Completion: One Week

The course consists of 4 weeks with each week having 1 graded quiz. To pass this course, you have to pass all the graded quizzes in addition to the final peer review assignment to get the certificate.
