This is expected as I have to juggle my busy work schedule, family, and other responsibilities with studying. I discovered I end up spending more time on reading and solving the tasks than I had expected. Though I am running two months behind schedule, I hope the effort and hard work I have committed to this will pay off in a good data-related job. I sincerely believe if I were to undertake this boot camp on a full-time basis, I would have completed it in 4 months. I recommend a more engaging approach that does not make students feel lonely in the wild and repeatedly overwhelmed.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

I'm learning a lot through the course and my interactions with my tutor and mentor have been outstanding. Scheduling meetings have been challenging at times, but the feedback provided is always useful, insightful, and positive. I appreciate that the program pairs me with a tutor and a mentor for extra support. The course material is very well-developed and the assignments are well-designed to reinforce the course material. I appreciate the fact that my mentor pushes me in my assignments. As a result, I've been able to learn beyond what the course teaches. Although I've not taken a comparative online course, I ultimately believe that the course is well crafted and provides graduates with the necessary education, exposure, and experience for entry-level data analytics positions.
