After completing this course, you’ll be able to confidently use Google Forms and be one step closer to a fully automated data system. Our instructor will be happy to get you there.

HOW YOU'LL LEARN IT

This course strikes a balance between the foundations of survey design + creation and hands-on practice. Learners have the flexibility to progress through the 15 learning modules at their own pace with intentionally placed exercises to enhance instruction. We use a just-in-time strategy in the class, intentionally providing the information needed to accomplish tasks instead of over-saturating learners with details they have little chance of remembering. In order to support an inquiry-based approach, this class comes with access to two Virtual Office Hours and lifetime access to a private Slack channel exclusively for Data Studio learners such as yourself.
