About the Course

In order to be successful in Data Science, you need to be skilled with using tools that Data Science professionals employ as part of their jobs. This course teaches you about the popular tools in Data Science and how to use them. You will become familiar with the Data Scientist’s tool kit which includes: Libraries & Packages, Data Sets, Machine Learning Models, Kernels, as well as the various Open source, commercial, Big Data and Cloud-based tools. Work with Jupyter Notebooks, JupyterLab, RStudio IDE, Git, GitHub, and Watson Studio. You will understand what each tool is used for, what programming languages they can execute, their features and limitations. This course gives plenty of hands-on experience in order to develop skills for working with these Data Science Tools. With the tools hosted in the cloud on Skills Network Labs, you will be able to test each tool and follow instructions to run simple code in Python, R, or Scala. Towards the end the course, you will create a final project with a Jupyter Notebook. You will demonstrate your proficiency preparing a notebook, writing Markdown, and sharing your work with your peers....

I love the detailing of every aspect of this course. The Labs, the free subscriptions and free trials provided by IBM Skills Network, everything has been so amazing. Thank you Coursera, thank you IBM.

I appreciate IBM created this class. But the IBM Watson part is really boring....whole week spent on IBM product is too much....

The content is practical and instructive. Update the content of IBM Watson section with the latest version would be more useful.

It was a little confussing that the coursera material did not match the IBM cloud exactly - The could seem to be in development.

A fair description of useful Data Science Tools. Although dedicating an entire week for proprietary IBM Tools was uncalled for.

Awesome course. The only downside is the command line git hub vídeo tutorials. It is no very clear and has missing information.

I felt this course could be designed a little bit better.

The Github and the IBM tools modules were pretty vague and confusing.

Interesting, yet not perfect course. A lot of the video contents need to be updated, as well as the hyperlinks of the lessons.

There were a couple of instances where the review question in the video asked about something, before the video covered it.

The tools that this course introduces, are helpful and I will use them. But I think some of the explanations are too basic.
