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.

the best course for the beginner who is going to start his data science journey. This course tells you all options like tools, libraries, programming languages, etc. Highly recommended for beginners.

Outdated tutorials and expects too much knowledge. Talks about concepts like Apache Spark, RDDs, and tuples with no introduction.

Don't be fooled this is one big marketing demo. I wish they would just pick a language and jump into cleaning and analyzing data.

this course is pretty boring to be honest, it has some potential to be useful but the presentations and the way is not intersting

I found it to be a bit waste of time. This course was more expositive than explicative and the quizzes only evaluate your memory.

The instructor seemed to be using a different (most likely the paid) version of Watson. This made it hard to follow the lessons.

Instructions are not clear and software on which tutor teach is look-alike old which caused me issues to understand what to do.

Rather than summing up all Data Science, I'd learn more from zooming in on one or two, learning how to use them in more detail

There seems to be a disconnect between almost everything. Tutorials, lectures, labs. Only a few were helpful but ultra basic.

Sites look different now and the video lectures described an older version I think. Also lectures weren't much understanding.

The course needs a revision regarding watson studio. Spend a lot of time getting it work, because video's aren't up to date.

The videos are not up to date with the latest Watson Studio.

I have lost a lot of time to configure Watson Studio correctly.

Not very well structured, sometimes outdated, sometimes with questions where the answer are only given at a later stage.

Half of the course was advertisement for IBM Products. I am taking this course to become independent of such products.

Really short course, the contents are poorly covered, in one lesson the quick quiz didn't even match the video content

inaccurate walk through the tools

there are no supervisors able to check if the peer to peer grading is correct or not

Multiple tools referenced in this course either failed to work or totally unavailable at the time I took the course.

Unfortunately a lot of this course is dated with instructions that no longer work or dead links. Quite unfortunate.

This course needs to apply more practical approach along with object oriented programming in order to be useful

There was a challenge with the Skills Network lab throughout the course. It caused a delay in my learning track.

Videos and text is redundant. Project is too easy. Course should be complete-able within one week, not three.

The assignments are poorly written and lack specificity leading to issues in the peer grading. Poorly created.

Confusing sections because interfaces presented are different than the current tool.

Needs to to be updated!!!
