Data Analyst

This Nanodegree uses some commercial tools like Alteryx for data predictive and data manipulation and Tableau for data visualization I found very useful for my work since I use those two tool very frequently. Additional covers some SQL language and modeling using Alteryx data analytics package

A great experience!

I thought that I was going to have difficulties with the statistics. But fortunately not only didn't have problems but also fill in some gaps that I had.

Python was awesome, of course!

And in the end, it was SQL. The first and last lesson was easy to follow. The lessons in between need more attention and practise, at least from me.

Thanks for the opportunity that you gave me through the scholarship!

The first time i studied at Udacity is when I applied to the "1 Million Arab Coders" initiative in early 2018. I got enrolled in the Full-Stack Developer course. In this course, I learned a lot about python programming and scripting. The python programming skill helped me to get employed in the Data Science field.

I got hired one year ago as a Data Analyst. However, I felt that I need to further enhance my Data Science skills to make me confident at my job. I knew that Udacity will be my choice, and I was going to pay for it. Luckily, I applied to a scholarship on Misk Academy to study at Udacity and got accepted. The Data Analyst Nanodegree program was well-contructed and walked me through each step of the data analysis using python pandas library, from data collection, cleansing, analysis to visualization. It helped me to be confident about my skills at work, so I recommend everyone who is interested in the data analytics to take it.

Furthermore, I decided to move forward and take the Data Scientist Nanodegree. Currently im in the second term of the DS program, and I can say that it is very helpful. It covered the machine learning concepts and applications, software engineering, experiment design and recommendations, as well as a capstone project. I also recommend this program for those who are interested in predictive analysis and machine learning.

In summary, Udacity is a very effective projects-based e-learning platform that provides the essential skills for several professions. It helped me a lot, and I plan to continue taking any interesting course at Udacity in the future.
