Introduction to Data
Let’s start from the beginning: What is data? In this course, you will learn how to
describe the basic features of a dataset, such as data types and measures of
center and spread. Then, you will learn how to clean, analyze and visualize
various datasets using spreadsheets. Spreadsheet software like Microsoft
Excel and Google Sheets remains one of the top tools for data analytics due to
its rich code-free interface and diverse list of functions.

Business Analytics

Data in itself is Step 1, but the true value is unlocked when it is applied in the
context of a real business problem. In this course, you will be introduced to a
number of key business metrics used in sales, finance, marketing, growth, and
engagement. You will analyze funnels to optimize business KPIs (Key
Performance Indicators), use cohort analysis to make informed product
decisions that reduce churn and increase revenue, and finally, map out a
business model to evaluate a potential revenue stream from customers.

In addition, you will be introduced to SQL (Structured Query Language), which

remains the most efficient way today to extract data. You will code SQL queries
to retrieve, combine, and aggregate data. SQL is used in virtually every
industry, so get ready to superpower your skillset!

Statistics Fundamentals with Python
Probability may be the most fundamental skill you need to acquire if you want
to be a successful data analyst. Why? Because probability is about making
predictions about future events based on models or causes that we assume.
You will then leverage probability in statistics, which we use to analyze data
from past events, to infer what the underlying models or causes could be. You
will apply your statistical knowledge in A/B testing, which is a prominent
research methodology consisting of a randomized experiment to test different
user experiences.

Statistical thinking took decades to develop, but computers make it much

easier to comprehend today. The third sprint will quickly get you up to speed
and help you begin thinking statistically using Python-based tools.

Data Storytelling
Knowing how to tell a coherent and convincing story when communicating your
analysis results is key to your success as a data analyst. In this unit, you will
work on your storytelling skills while learning Tableau, a widely-used BI
(Business Intelligence) tool. You will also learn the design principles behind
good data visualizations. By the end of this course, you will be able to
communicate your analysis results in a presentation format and create a
beautiful and self-explanatory dashboard.
