The course was very gentle in terms of imparting knowledge and stays true to its 'Beginner level ' tagline. I would recommend this course to anybody wanting to have a peek into the world of Data Science.

This course is very (surprisingly) informative for such short airing time.It helps me a great deal in demystifying the very foundation of what Data Science is and what makes a Data Scientist.Many thanks!

What is data science? It was a very successful course that explained the subject in detail. I would like to thank all the instructors, especially the IBM company, who prepared this course, and Coursera.

This course was a great overview in the world of Data Science. It's very candid with what Data Science is and can be and I believe thoroughly describes what you're looking to get into with Data Science.

Very good course, with informative videos from data science professionals and academic leaders that provide excellent guidance and advice to budding data science students on how to succeed in the field.

I learned what Data Science is and what a data scientist does, how and what for. I have learned the main concepts and definitions of Data Mining, Hadoop, Regression, Deloitte reporting and applications.

I really liked this course. one of the main feature of this course which caught my most interest is suggestions, knowledge and sharing of work experience by professors and people working in this field.

Excellent! it gives you a very broad understanding of what data science is.

The format of the course is very good, not boring at all. Everything is understood perfectly and the content is very accurate.

The content is excellent! A fantastic course of introduction to Data Science that will get you excited about the field. To anybody interested in learning more about Data Science, I strongly suggest it.

It's an amazing course. You get to hear the different views of various data scientists. Also, it has questions in the middle of the videos to test if you really understood what the video was all about.

This course gives a very detailed introduction to Data Science. The interviews of actual people working as data scientists helped a lot in understanding what being a data scientist actually feels like.

I learned basic introduction about the data science and data scientist, the various things data scientist will do with respect the data and the way of analyze the data in the different parts

Thank you

Iam really glad iam part of coursera because I do not have any experience related with data science but now I got the knowledge onBasics of data science..it really helps to continue my further course..

This course is understandable, well explained and very useful for put you on the right way for getting a general understanding why is data science is such important in almost every industries nowadays.

Excellent introduction, only complaint is that one of the questions in the final assignment was inaccurate and I could find no way to contact the educator short of giving the answer away in the forums.

It was a great experience for me. I was completely new to this concept. But the way this course went through, I gained a lot of knowledge regarding data science and data scientists. Thank you very much

A very interesting introduction. Allows to understand the "philosophy" of Data Science with its ins and outs. The purely technical aspects are only skimmed over. But that's for the following courses !

I learned a lot but that might not be a good indicator as I didn't know much about Data Science in the first place. It just fueled my need to know more about the subject so on my side, it's a winner.

Great introduction to data science. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to get a general background as to what data science is, who can be a data scientist, and how to get involved in data science.

This class was super informative about what data science is and the life of a data scientist! It was a great way for me to ensure that this is the route for me! Thank you for the awesome information!

Very good introductory course for defining data science and what a data scientist does. Would recommend for anyone pursuing a career in data science or a company looking to build a data science team.

The course provides interviews of data science professionals. And I personally liked both the profs who comes in the tutorial. Overall, I enjoyed this course and putting baby steps towards DS field.

Considering it is an introductory course to data science, I have to say it is very rich, containing great explanaition about this "new" science and how it can be useful and understood by most people.

Good introductory course for setting a basis for knowledge of data science and data scientists for someone who may be a novice and seeking to learn more.

Good quality in terms of presentation as well.

The insight of the whole world how it works and plays with data can be understood by doing this course. What actually is happening out in the world what companies need from us data intrigued people.
