Data science is the process of using algorithms, methods, and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data. It can be used to make predictions and decisions using analytics and machine learning.

This course is the best course I have ever taken. I really loved the interviews done in this course. I also loved the way this course was presented. I highly recommend this course for those want to begin a career in Data Science.

This course is very helpful for someone like me who knows nothing about data science, machine learning or AI. After completing this course, now i can say i know what those word means and how they relate with our day to day life.

This is a very knowledgeable and best course for beginners. From this course, you will understand much more about What is Data Science and why it is important and what technologies you should have to learn for the Data Science

Loved this course, definitely gave me more insight into the fundamentals of Data Science, what exactly it is and what data scientists do. Looking forward to completing the rest of the courses under this professional certificate.

This is an easygoing course for the beginner. I explored basic knowledge about what data science is. Thanks for the simple and clear platform and all easygoing video and materials. I will approach next course in this field more!

A great introductory course to Data Science exposing many different opportunities and different aspects of the environments and the different aspects. Looking forward to the rest of the IBM Data Science Professional Certificate.

The course was very good and beautiful. I really loved watching all the videos. But there were few videos whose Subtitles didn't match the words used in the lectures. It must be updated. Otherwise, the course was just fantastic.

Wonderful experience in this course and it is very useful in my further career and i came an idea about in the data science and how is data is changing the world into the digital world and increases the quality of life

Thank You

It is very good introductory course on Data Science. Beginners will get a really good idea of where to head next. My suggestion to others will be to complete all the courses in this specialization. Cheers to IBM and Coursera :))

Despite the fact that quizzes were locked, and, PhD guy claimed that you have to be a PhD to be a successful data scientist. No, you do not have to. What you really need is interest in this field and passion to do data analysis.

It is remarkably helpful for me who do not have strong background in programming or statistics, to get a good grasp on what is actually data science, what is the fundamental concept, and what skills needed to master this subject

As this was the course 1, author has covered the scope ,requirements and vastness in a very clear and comprehensive way. Also the speakers are well experienced. Will look forward to go through the other parts of IBM Data Science

Amazing for me as I am a commerce graduate having a good interest in mathematics but Indian education policy resists me from taking courses in the discipline of mathematics. This course saves my life. Thank you. Regards, Ankit

Me encanto y que uno aprende sobre los datos y un científico de datos también a diferenciarlos, la verdad los datos son importantes en cualquier área y ayuda a dar una solución a los problemas que se pueden vivir en la empresa.

From this course I learned how can I use the knowledge of data science in different fields and how to data analysis in my field of interest as well as what kind of knowledge and skill I need to acquire for fulfilling my goals.

It is a well-organized course which makes me familiar with the concepts of data science and data scientists. I addition, it brought a lot of good examples from real-world how to apply data science or how to be a data scientist.

This Course completely and accurately defines data science, how it can be used, what are the tools to achieve and where it can be used. This also gives knowledge about different sub-sets of data science.

Very good for beginners.

Awesome . An easy course with very good content . Not some professors are coming and teaching , people with experience whowith data science are discussing points related to data science and sharing their views among themselves.

Understanding what is data science and what is the role of data scientist, tool and techniques to be understood and attitude and aptitude required for being a data science professional what is a report and whats its components.

This first course really encourages and motivates me about data science career. Understand that data science is not only about statistics and algorithms, but also about storytelling was the best way to start the specialization!

The course is perfect for a beginner to get introduced to the concept of data science. The videos of Dr. Haider in particular are exceptional and his choice of words to describe components of DS makes it easy for the student to

As someone who has no prior experience in data science or anything IT related, this course is great. It gave me the foundations for data science and how data scientists have a huge impact in the digital world we live in today.

Fantastic introduction to what Data Science is all about. It has opened my eyes about all the possibilities and opportunities that are there in the Jewelry industry that I am currently working in. Great job IBM and Coursera!!!

What is Data Science is the first course I have completed. The course delivers a clear cut explanation by providing clear cut examples and through professionals, teach us what exactly a data scientist does in day to day life.
