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....

Good review--I enjoyed coming up to speed quickly withe IDE for Jupyter notebook using Python. So much easier to debug code based on the "cell-structure"

The steps the video has you walk through and the actual platform are slightly different which can be confusing. Overall, great introduction to the tools.

Good hands on experience using jupyter notebook and open source tools! But the videos needs to be updated according to the new IBM watson studioplatform!

I think you need to update the assignments involving IBM Watson. The instructions were missing key instructions. Like "Save Version" instead of "Save".

The course is a basic introduction to a few data scientists tools, but not for practice. I Would like some project that could be written on the resume.

Course syllabus is good and covers almost everything as mentioned. But the software tools are upgraded and that need to be updated in Instruction sets.

Interesting overview with easy to understand practical examples on the one hand but also too many shallow descriptions of existing data science tools.

A good overview but the videos need to be updated to reflect the way the platforms look right now as they've been updated since the course was create.

Text information in videos about RStudio wasn't always in correspondence with thing were done on screen, and in my opinion it can be improved overall.

It was overall a good course but it felt a bit outdated. I think it can be improved by including modern tools and not focusing so much on IBM Watson.

Good starting point into what Notebooks are, and what you can do with them. I only wish the assignments went more in depth into the tools and coding.

A very good intro to the tools used in data science, good hand-on. The Data Refinery lesson could have been better explained, it was rushed thru.

The course material is not up-to-date as IBM Watson Studio is updated, therefore, all the steps are not valid anymore. It is very hard to follow.
