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.

The curriculum and project work was fine. Notebooks to complete were OK, although not flawless. The final presentation format was... bad. A written report in the form of a 50 slide PowerPoint presentation is *not* a good habit to be teaching future data science professionals. Plus the instructions regarding what was expected were either ambiguous, confusing, or absent. The curriculum is great and I learned something. The testing procedure was extremely tedious and poorly thought out and in dire need of a major overhaul.

Very prescriptive and guided. Everything I have come to expect from Coursera. Little room for critical thought or original content. Designed for begineers. I am surprised this is an IBM course beyond building the user base for its tools. The marking Rubik's are too prescribed to provide accurate marks which matters little given the way in which they are applied. The final powerpoint assignment should be replaced with a report and a ten slide deck.
