I find Udacity's methodology to be a giant commitment to the democratization of knowledge. I am a 45 year old man from a Latin American country who is fulfilling his dream of becoming a Data Analyst to help the economic growth of my country and my continent and I am achieving it with the contents and methodology of Udacity. I highly recommend this program!

The reviewers are very picky. I don't like that. They refused to review my work just because I missed one or two things. They shouldn't do that. That's disrespectful. They should consider the stress, time, and brain energy I put in.
