This is a great starter course for data science. My learning assessment is usually how well I can teach it to someone else. I know I have a better understanding now, than I did when I started.

Good course, with general and not over-detailed explanations of all the relevant topics in data Science. A good, general overview definitively worth working on.

Pretty high level and quick. Hoping the remaining courses in the specialization give more depth. (Completed this course in an afternoon.)

Interesting course and good learning. However for me some of the video lectures were a little bit unstructured and difficult to follow.

The quality of audio wasn't amazing. Get yourselves better mikes, guys. The language was not properly graded for the beginner's level.

Pretty basic course. Good if you are completely new to the space. There are good references to tools for further investigation.

Nice overview for those of us unschooled in the language. Syntax of the notes and text is in need of major editing-proofreading.

Very preliminary, most of the course don't have a PPT or handout. May be helpful if you know very few about data science.
