About the Course

This is the final course in the IBM Data Science Professional Certificate as well as the Applied Data Science with Python Specialization. This capstone project course will give you the chance to practice the work that data scientists do in real life when working with datasets. In this course you will assume the role of a Data Scientist working for a startup intending to compete with SpaceX, and in the process follow the Data Science methodology involving data collection, data wrangling, exploratory data analysis, data visualization, model development, model evaluation, and reporting your results to stakeholders. You will be tasked with predicting if the first stage of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will land successfully. With the help of your Data Science findings and models, the competing startup you have been hired by can make more informed bids against SpaceX for a rocket launch. In this course, there will not be much new learning, instead you’ll focus on hands-on work to demonstrate and apply what you have learnt in previous courses. By successfully completing this Capstone you will have added a project to your data science and machine learning portfolio to showcase to employers....

It's a great course to get a comprehensive background on Data Science (including ML) and lays the foundation for more advanced courses. It touches on all the areas that are required for data science.

Overall a solid course. I wish there was a little more explanation of the code that was used but this capstone definitely pushed me to learn and get better. Thanks IBM and Coursera for the course!

Good course, steps you through all the relevant steps and reasoning. The final project is graded more on your ability to put together a power point than your understanding of the material though.

This course for me was very challenging, not only for the assessments but also because I introduced new tools to my study like APIs. I really appreciate the time and the knowledge you gave me.

Last week took me too much time, but that was my own laziness. The course is well designed and taught me a lot about data cleaning, and strict deadlines are also a good learning. Thank you.

You should include questions relevant to learning material but i learned a lot more from this course and IBM really facilitated me to complete this specialization by aiding me financially.

Lots of outdated content and not many resources to help, however a lot of it was at least a little bit useful. Though a lot could be cut if you already know a thing or 2 about programming

Overall it was a good course. It could have been better is the support staff for the course were available answering questions. Some of the materials are outdated and needs to be updated.

Very in-depth and rewarding project - would be a little better if more specific guidance on what to exactly include in the notebook would be better. But overall very stimulating. Thanks!

After some trouble, I was able to fix the issue with the ID identification... But nevertheless, the Certificate is not shown when using its link...

The Course, nevertheless, is great!

The capstone project was difficult. I struggled to incorporate the concepts I learned throughout this training in the final project, however I don't have any statistics background .

The capstone project was not very identical to what is covered in the course. We are briefly taught Foliujm Library but at the end, it was our final project. This was a minus point.

The course is fine as long as you finish it in one go. I had to restart and then ran into some difficulty with the cloud licence. Happily, coursera gave a workable work around.

Overall this is a tough course, since it mainly involves building your own project with your idea and using the tools,technologies which we have learnt in previous courses.

I learn't a lot from this course. reinforced and needed to apply whatever I learn't in previous courses. Had to work on Python coding, pandas, Folium, Foursquare, etc.

Great course and project, I would have liked to get a bit more freedom in what API to use. But great to have a bigger project to work on as you learn most from that.

The course has to be revised, it has a lot of notebook problems. The content is very good, but it was exhausting to make the activities and to finish it.

Interesting course but too lengthy videos for my taste. I would have preferred a more text-based style, but this is just my personal preference.

Overall, a good beginner's level project course. But, it will require a lot of input from the student side, which is necessary for one's growth.

It is excellent, especially getting to know about foursquare ApI is exciting. But still some part of the codes can be explained from the scratch

Some courses where not as good as others, but the value you get with the lab, provided you keep them and understand them, are of great value.

Solid finisher with enough freedom and constraints to give a framework for notation yet remaining interesting while preventing to drift away.

The course is absolutely a good one for beginners, a category which i fall into. I am sure it will help me in my career as a data scientist.

An excellent course to learn how to use location data in data science. The last couple of sections can be long hours but worth the effort.
