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.

I learned a lot from this course. It forced me way out my comfort zone. However, some of the videos need to be updated. Some of the videos had Data Science Experience interface rather than Watson Studio.

This is a good course, but need some update. The transition from week 1 to week 2 is a bit confusing and there are mentions to old names no longer in use.

Overall, I really liked and learn a lot. Thanks!

+: Important content providing insight into the instruments of a data scientist.

-: Very superficial introductory course. A student who completed this course cannot yet master any of the tools introduced.

This is a very good course. But some videos are not updated. As the IBM Data Science Experience has updated to IBM Watson so the video should also updated. It takes a lot of time for me in the IBM Watson

I've subtracted one star since the videos, especially in week 3, were not in synch with the online tools (IBM Watson Studio). Otherwise, this was a good class for intro to open source data science tools.

Tools are fantastic and will make a significant contribution to my education. Videos need to be updated for changes to Watson Studios. Support from IBM on their cloud services should also be improved.

Great course, would have got 5* if the videos were based on the new platform, as it was tricky in some areas to relate back to the newer version after looking at the old interface in the video demos. :)

The course video contents and the tools versions are not the same.There are some significant differences .Videos should be updated.In general the course is a good fundamental course about the tools.

The course contents are verry good and well structured except that Watson Studio tools and services options need to be explaind more, specially those used in the lab steps or explained in the videos.

i rather to chose what is data science is better in perspective of materials and assignment, because in tools for data science i feel a lot of boring because to much explanation for what have to use

Some of the lab assignments had instructions that didn't line up with how the programs actually worked. This was particularly the case for modular flow where auto-numerics seemed impossible to use.

Gives you a good idea and overview about different tools but can be overwhelming because of the amount of new information and some videos are not up to date. Week 3 especially had some weak videos.

It would be nice if you could update the material since some tools have changed either name or the way they look compared to the videos/images. Very good material though, I enjoyed the course much.

A good presentation and initiation to the tools for data science. A little hiccup on the fact that the course should be up to date with Watson Studio that hasn't exactly the same interface. Great !

Good Course overall focus in basic tools. the course could be shorter as someone who know which language who want to use and familir with the tools already shouldn't learn all the course materials

The course is overwhelming for a beginner with no experiecne of programming. The examples given in the class seem difficult and should have been of a lower difficulty level to keep the hopes high.

Great course, I would really encourage everyone to go through, however videos about Jupyter Notebook or other tools were so fast I wasn't able to remember all the information. Anyway great course.

The overall course is great to expect the position week 2 which in my opinion is very poorly delivered. It would great if you can re-do that portion. It feels as though nobody did quality control.

Good content, excellent delivery. Week1 had too much of information at once. I was left with little motivation after week-1. All the other weeks were good. Exercises were engaging and very useful.

There was a problem with the connection to R lab, never fixed. Also, some tutorials are outdated. These are the negative parts and why I give four stars. Other than that I like the course so far.

It's a great course for someone who interested in learning about Data Science, all the fundamentals are explained very well although some of the course material might be a bit hard to understand.

The skill share network has a problem that it does not work at all there must be a tutorial course for using it before the actual course start

but aside from that ... the course is perfect for me

Excellent introduction to a variety of open source tools available and commonly used by Data Science Professionals. Some of the video material is slightly outdated due to updates to the platform.

Good introductory course to the tools. Hands-on labs are fascinating. Sometimes I got a little lost with too much terminology, but at the end of the lessons the most important points were clear.

It's a good introductory course to know all the open-source tools available for data science. However, it will not teach you how to code for these tools apart from introducing a few basic lines.
