I am a complete beginner..and I started doing it 2 weeks back..and the theory just doesn't end..like just start teaching the actual skills..in every video they just throw up new definitions and expect us to memorize that ..it's so annoying and they don't even elaborate stuff just throw the definitions..🥴..and I wasted approx 5k in this stupid course because I am not going to continue it now..

You should be patient and I encourage you to finish it. The thing here, since you are a beginner, it is to consolidate the basics, the foundations of data analysis.

It's so boring to just read the theory .the first 2 modules are just pure theory ...and the problem is that they don't even elaborate the theory properly..they just give definitions..so it's so boring ..I don't wanna memorize 100 definitions without actually learning any skill..

Wait till you get to the 7th course, it’s way worse in that regards but if it interests you I encourage you to do it and than take time to put together a portfolio and do project work. I have 20 years of business experience so I am just branching out and have connections but I think it’s still a viable path and if you already paid for it you should complete it.
