As someone who is new to the field of data science, this was a really good introductory course that provided much-needed information and insights. I would definitely recommend to everyone who would like to know more about data science and data scientists - there's a chance you'll want to become one.

I loved the course content and format of frequent evaluations towards knowledge check that ensures that the concepts shared through videos and reading material are understood by the participant then and there itself. Very useful and simple to understand, I feel the course material is very effective.

I really enjoy this learning trip as its my first one. I benefit a lot from Doctor Murtaza who wrote that book and many colleagues in Data Science. I really appreciate this platform makes me know such a group of friends with same interest. Best luck to you all! See you in next course.

Very good for anyone who just looking to understand what is data science, and considering to get into it. Very recommended for those who are doing industry research for career, maybe for high school students or university students, also for workers who are looking for adding skills / career change.

this was a great course, because it illustrates all the concepts that is related to data science like; difference between deep learning and machine learning, what is meant by big data, when the word data science showed up and many many awesome case studies on how we use the data science in our life

Decent starting point for a 9 course schedule. I did find a few grammatical and spelling errors along with some inconsistencies between the course materials and actual work but I think that makes it more interesting and forces you to figure it out for yourself - a big part of learning how to code.

Excellent material ,very clear and well organized especially for beginners. I learnt so much from what is Data science and what do Data scientists do and the impact that data science has in the business. The tutors are talented in breaking down the material in a way that can be easily understood.

Highly recommended for beginners to get an introduction to Data Science and decide if they want to pursue a career in Data science. Thanks for wonderful content. Just a suggestion is to update the content around Watson Studio as IBM have changed the UI and the slides confuse the student a little.

Overview of What Data Science is and What Data Scientist do to understand, this course will surely help you. I enjoyed to learn from this course as I am more interested in data science or machine learning. I can recommend this course to anyone, who is willing to pursue his career in data science.

I liked the approach. For me, it's greatly important to have this time for understand the possibilities, and the responsabilities, almost the philosophic part of a profession, of a knowledge. So the way you've spoken in this introduction is a important part of studying anything.

Thank you so much!

That content was really awesome. There are no words to explain that such a wonderful course. The content was really nice, clean and complete.

The arrange of topics also very nice and properly ordered.

Overall nice experience with Coursera.

Thanks from my bottom of my heart for such Wonderful content

I completed What is data science? Course from IBM learn from Coursera. I request to get this course certificate because I live in Myanmar and I have tried more than 10 times to verify my Government ID but this process has problems so please get this course certificate and this sent to my email.

I'd like to see more practical tasks in DS on this course, maybe you'll need to add a week with the simplest tasks of a data scientist. This will help people to really understand what kind of problems data scientists solve and this will show students if they really want to continue studying DS.

Great course. The best points for me were the clarity given on what Data Science is and what a Data Scientist does. Additionally, the discussion on what it takes to be successful as a Data Scientist and the key traits as well the information on the application in various industries was helpful.

The content is easy to understand. The contributors in the video seem very passionate about data science which is stimulating for newcomers eager to learn about data science.

The length of each course is just perfect. It is neither too short nor long. Just the perfect length to keep you focused.

It was really an eye opening course towards journey of Data Science. I really liked the practical examples of the instructors and the concepts explained vividly. If anyone wants to know the nitty gritties of Data Science, this is the course that would be a starting journey towards Data Science.

Es un muy buen curso para comenzar a entender los conceptos básicos de que es Ciencia de Datos que hace un Científico de datos. Que es "Big Data" y lo que se puede alcanzar con este conocimiento. Sin duda el primer paso en la carrera de todo aquel que inicie su carrera como científico de datos

It is really helpful to understand those concepts around data that may usually hear not knowing what it is. In this course, you can understand and differentiate concepts like BIG DATA, MACHINE LEARNING, DATA MINING, NEURAL NETWORK, among others. And you can get passionate about DATA SCIENCE :)

The introduction to data science was gentle but comprehensive. This approach gives confidence to learners who are new to data science and prepares them psychologically for the technical details of the course. I was inspired by this orientation and I am curious of what lies ahead in the course.

The Course gives a personal a full view of data characteristics,and how data can be of help and importance in many aspects.

This course also gives some enlightenment on the scope of data and the experience of data documentation around some of the giant data analytic companies around the world.

Good introduction

Good introduction materials for someone who has zero knowledge about data science. This introduction course gives an overview of all aspects of data science and programs related to it.

I’m glad i participated in his course which will help me make a decision where to head to.

Data Science is the hottest job in today’s world . Doing the data science certification from simplilearn will add value not only to your resume but after going through training you will get lot of knowledge about data mining and data modelling in R and SAS tool .wonderful course for beginners

The course gave an apt introduction to data science. It was essential to provide a strong background as to what exactly is the use of data science , and more importantly what is data science , and why do we study after all , and whats the demand. I believe that this course just covers it all

This is a very a good overall course in defining the attributes of data science, the tools involved and who a data scientist is. It is also good in talking about the qualities a data scientist should have and what the job market in modern society looks for in hiring data scientists today.

Great introduction to Data Science! This has helped cement in my mind whether or not if I want to do Data Science, and being a professional certificate from IBM, I will definitely place the specialization completion (when done) on my resume if I end up pursuing Data Science or Informatics!
