    I found this course very helpful for understanding the basics of social network analysis and how data can be collected and studied carefully. The instructor explained the concepts in a simple way which made it easier for me to follow the lessons. I especially liked how the course connected theory with practical ideas related to data analysis and research. It also gave me a better understanding of how social connections and networks can be analyzed using data-driven methods. Overall this course was a valuable learning experience for me as a student interested in data science.
