I love how the the notes compliments the video. The notes is well linked to extra notes which really help to enhance my understanding on the lecture.

Super beginner friendly. Everyone taking up this specialization and no background of software development or programming should follow this strictly.

I have read the books, they are free and very informative.

Just 40mins in Coursera are equal to more than 5 hours (2 classes) in "brick-mortar" class.

A great introductory course that requires no prior knowledge is fully in video format and lets you get an overview of what data science is all about.

The course is very usefull, making clear the principles of data science, and your basic tools. Instructors are also very clear in their explanations.

I give 5 stars to the course because it offers different perspective to my current job and I'm looking forward to learn more to the upcoming modules.

I have never learned programming and totally new to this field. However, this course really served its purpose of teaching me the data science tools.

Great course as it shows you the basics of what the Data Scientist needs. It is easily understood and you can review lessons after you have taken it.

Very basic, but gets you up and running with R, Git, and Github. I was self-taught, so this course was good to consolidate and refresh on the basics.

An amazing course offered by Johns Hopkins University. I am really happy to be a part of this knowledge. Thank you for making this wonderful course

It was a great course for an introduction to Data Science, really like it and I'm looking forward to completing the complete specialized course now.

A pesar de no tener todos los videos subtitulados al español, la plataforma cuenta con distintas herramientas para poder entender lo que te explican

It's a great course to introduce some data science topics. All the contents are very explained and I'm excited to learn more in this specialization.

Muy buen curso inicial. Muy contento de haberlo finalizado Te permite disponer de las herramientas necesarias para continuar a cursos más avanzados

Course was quite amazing but i had problem with computer voice it was fast and I was not use to it due to which my last assignment was not that good

The Data Scientist's Toolbox was a great course. There was effective exposure to each of the elements that will be of importance to Data Scientists.

Actually I have learnt many important think especially GitHub and R Studio linkage. Great Course. Thanks Coursera and JOHN HOPKINS University......

It is a nice course, week 1 is quite tough.

So i would recommend going through week 2 if you are stuck there.

Hope to see everyone make it to the end.

This course is a very crisp and concise overview of what data science is and what are the tools one would need to be successful as a Data Scientist.

I am very new to programming world. It was really nice experience to begin with the tool set up and understand the basic concepts or R programming.

This is an excellent work done by the Coursera people for letting the interested ones and dezire ones to be in technical line throughout the course.

Jeff did a wonderful job with respect to his teaching style(pace,course structure,concise).I've recommended this specialization to my peers as well!

Very helpful. Thank you very much for this initiative. Elements that I did not know exist and useful to launch a career in data science. Keep it up.

A great introduction to the world of data science! I learned a lot, particularly about how to use GitHub, that will be valuable to me in my career.

Great. The videos and the text are the same script. It helps a lot to first aquire the knowledge visually and by audio. And then visually by text.
