Great. I practiced data visualization on IBM's Cognos Analytics software. It's a great piece of software. I then learned how to make a presentation to present the results of the analysis.

I love its video and reading materials, thank you all for making such course, i can definitely make a career out of it, i just recommend you all to give you time in this course.

Excellent Course, each lesson has good pace and a good ration of theory and practice

Complex course to understand at the beginning because some links do not work so you should go to the forums to get guidance on what to do. However, once the previous problems have been solved, the course leaves teaching on practical aspects. I do not recommend the course for a beginner as an advanced level of understanding of the concepts is required to be able to apply them fluently. 6/10.

There are many errors in this course. I even had to guess one of the multiple choice tests because the previous section this test was based was officialle under maintenance.

Also there are several spelling mistakes in the material.

Badly designed practical assignments, many inconsistencies, lots of frustration, admins rarely reply in the discussion forum and their replies are rarely helpful.

the modules are poorly related to each other

Very confusing and frustrating sometimes. Unclear instructions especially in modules 1 and 6. IBM software glitchy, resorted to using jupyter notebook on my computer where possible. This was impossible in module 5, which subsequently took a much longer time to complete. Time spent logging in and out, in and out... Discussion forums difficult to navigate through. Page 1 of discussion results shows results 1 to 10, page 2 shows results 2 to 11, page 3 shows results 3 to 12 (??!!), etc... Text boxes for final submission: very unclear what to do here. After a long time on the discussion pages, it seems all that is required is to write "Yes" in every text box. What's the point? At least be clear about that in the instructions and save us all 45 minutes of searching the discussion forum. I estimate I spent 15 to 20 % of my time on this course trying to devine instructions and working around technical issues, not learning.

The course is rife with errors and often times the project submissions and quizzes don't line up with the project so you have to go back to your jupyter notebook and do more analysis to actually finish the modules. More so, some learners seem to like to fail people for no reason at all, and when it is clear that your submission is correct. This has been brought up numerous times in the discussion forums and nothing has changed. This course was the final one of nine in the IBM Data Analyst Certificate and I'm frankly surprised at the poor quality of the course since it is from IBM. As the complexity of the courses rose, the errors also rose.

THE COURSE is a great course and very practical and enrishing too. i sincerely wish IBM and coursera could just do a short video directing newbies like me, on how to set up the ibm cloud pak as well as use the watson studio to do the labs in the first course most especially for week 1 of the first couse in the ibm data analyst certificates. this will help newbies to understand what they are doing because frankly speeking a whole lot of newbies are stuck and it can be frustarating.

No clean instructions. You can't take the course unless you are familiar to IMB's watson and Jupyter notebook app.

Great content especially for beginners. This course introduced me to concepts I thought I knew. I am so glad that I took this course. I can now do dashboards with ease using tools such as excel, dash and IBM Cognos Analytics. I also enjoyed API's and WebScrapping. Retriving data from the internet or website used to be a lot of manual work, but now my work performance has improved!

"Excited to share that I've successfully completed the IBM Data Analyst course! 🚀 Grateful for the invaluable skills acquired, empowering me to navigate complex datasets and derive actionable insights. Ready to apply my knowledge to drive data-driven success. Here's to continuous learning and growth! 📊🎓 #DataAnalyst #IBMDataAnalyst #SkillsAcquired #DataDrivenSuccess"

The Capstone Project walks me through the whole process of a doing real project, and the final presentation requires actual writing up a report. This last piece is a bit exhausting but it's worth it. Highly recommend.

The course was conducted in a patient and professional manner. The information was challenging and accessible. A great product with a course that barely scratches the surface of all the programming present.

Worth every penny.

Happy Learning. Excellent hands on lab interface and tools provided by IBM.

Thanks a lot to everybody who is part of the course design and syllabus.

Cheers :-)

A good beginner friendly course in data analysis. Using the jupyter notebook was easier than going over to some websites to open the same jupyter notebook.

Course was excellent! Enjoyed the final project and being able to work with authentic data that helps understand IT career trends.

Amazing course

very helpful for those who needs to polish their skills and trying to landing their career in field of Data

I consider that the Capstone project is well designed. It is challenging to complete, making it rewarding. Thank you.

The final exam requires time and efforts to complete, yet it worths to demonstrate your skills. Highly recommeneded!

A very special course that contains a lot of useful information. I am very happy that I completed it successfully.

In a nutshell, this Capstone Project is very well prepared. Thank you for the creators and the contributors.

The course is great and the tools used in this course are those widely used by data analysts in real life.

excellent course, in this course you can develop the necessary skills to enter the world of data analysis
