    I just finished the 'Understanding Data Topics' course, and it was great! I learned a lot about data and how it's used in real life. Some parts were challenging, but the explanations were helpful. I feel more confident in my understanding of data now. Thank you for this opportunity!

    I usually struggle to retain knowledge with online courses but this one was so good! Everything was explained in an easy to understand manner and the exercises reinforced what I've learnt. 10/10!
