About the Course

This is the final course in the IBM Data Science Professional Certificate as well as the Applied Data Science with Python Specialization. This capstone project course will give you the chance to practice the work that data scientists do in real life when working with datasets. In this course you will assume the role of a Data Scientist working for a startup intending to compete with SpaceX, and in the process follow the Data Science methodology involving data collection, data wrangling, exploratory data analysis, data visualization, model development, model evaluation, and reporting your results to stakeholders. You will be tasked with predicting if the first stage of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will land successfully. With the help of your Data Science findings and models, the competing startup you have been hired by can make more informed bids against SpaceX for a rocket launch. In this course, there will not be much new learning, instead you’ll focus on hands-on work to demonstrate and apply what you have learnt in previous courses. By successfully completing this Capstone you will have added a project to your data science and machine learning portfolio to showcase to employers....

It's a great course to get a comprehensive background on Data Science (including ML) and lays the foundation for more advanced courses. It touches on all the areas that are required for data science.

Let's start with the good: The activities. These are great reviews of what we have learned in other IBM courses, with some new stuff thrown in. I learned a lot. So why only 3 stars? The course has several basic problems that caused me to waste a LOT of time. 1) Unintelligible instructions/materials. There are so many grammar spelling errors, things copy/pasted into the wrong place, etc that it can be quite hard to follow. This is common in IBM courses but in this one I really felt it. 2) Technical issues. Labs crashed several times for me. In the Dash lab, it was particularly annoying, as the work cannot be saved in the lab itself, and so I lost all progress every time there was a crash. To make things worse, the staff moved several of my labs to different locations, forcing me to redo several hours of work (hopefully this is just a once-off problem though). 3) Some strange activities. For example, how does finding everything that starts with 'CCA' help us to answer the research question? Yes, it might be good practice in it's own right, but why can't we get practice by working towards the stated goal instead of by doing random time-filler activities?

The assignments were interesting especially when we had to think of our own problems to solve. It would've been really helpful if the course was regularly updated, specifically when it comes to the first assignment where a lot of students experienced challenges with their machines and the course was designed with old operating machines in mind. the discussion forums would help a lot if instructors actually answered the questions and not directed students to links that were of no assistance at all. The course material could really do with an upgrade.
