About the Course

In order to be successful in Data Science, you need to be skilled with using tools that Data Science professionals employ as part of their jobs. This course teaches you about the popular tools in Data Science and how to use them. You will become familiar with the Data Scientist’s tool kit which includes: Libraries & Packages, Data Sets, Machine Learning Models, Kernels, as well as the various Open source, commercial, Big Data and Cloud-based tools. Work with Jupyter Notebooks, JupyterLab, RStudio IDE, Git, GitHub, and Watson Studio. You will understand what each tool is used for, what programming languages they can execute, their features and limitations. This course gives plenty of hands-on experience in order to develop skills for working with these Data Science Tools. With the tools hosted in the cloud on Skills Network Labs, you will be able to test each tool and follow instructions to run simple code in Python, R, or Scala. Towards the end the course, you will create a final project with a Jupyter Notebook. You will demonstrate your proficiency preparing a notebook, writing Markdown, and sharing your work with your peers....

I love the detailing of every aspect of this course. The Labs, the free subscriptions and free trials provided by IBM Skills Network, everything has been so amazing. Thank you Coursera, thank you IBM.

I liked this curse. But in my country I couldn't open some options of IBM Watson Studio. Also the final exam is rote.

Good course, but sometimes the sound in videos wasn't as good as always. That is why it was a bit difficult to listen.

Good content. Spelling and grammar mistakes kind of get on my nerves considering how much I'm paying for this course.

Good overview of the tools. But this might be a bit confusing to someone completely new to the tech/data/coding world

Some of the captures used in this course are not the same that applications show you, but it is not too much problem.

Video content is a bit outdated so kindly update it or at least attach reading with it to let the students understand

I like open source tools but the IBM watson studio, being an enterprise tool, does not very much fit into the course.

It was great experience.

But some lab works did not work well due to old screenshots while the lab had been changed.

It is a very basic course, especially it is theoretical (something important to have a good foundation). Good course

Unfortunately some of the videos are very old the videos are not paired with the reality found in Watson Studio. :(

Course was good at introducing software, however, the videos introduce an older version which can make it confusing.

i would give it a 5 but the videos are outdated and do not show the tools for eg Watson in its current updated state

The material is good, but needs to be updated to reflect the changes in the IBM engine used for the lab environment.

The videos are less friendly than the first course, but they are condensed, explicit and quick to put hands to work!

This is a brief introduction, so there is not much detail, however it does provide an awareness of available tools.

course is based on old interface of IBM Watson. this will create confusion for the learner in understanding process

The video should be updated together with the IBM Watson. It is difficult to follow the lesson and do the exercise.

Would be even better if they had updated the content along with the update of the new Watson Studio user Interface.

The instructions are a bit complicated for the rookies. Could be a little slower and simpler. Great work otherwise
