This is my favorite course in The Data Science Professional Certificate. Using real-world examples we implemented several ML models using scikit learn and python. There is also some exposure to numpy. This is a good course and overall provides applied data science methods with a comparison of common methods for classification.

This Machine Learning with Python module, so far, for me, has been the most difficult. Due to lack of understanding of Statistics. But I got help from the forum, from friends and I bought one or two books to solve my doubts. But Coursera's teaching methodology is great. And I will take other courses. Sorry my english is basic

Valuable material and well organized. There are many gaps in the explanations though. In the sample notebooks, there is a LOT of code that is not explained, so I have to Google the code or skip over it. The final tests a skill (transferring a machine learning model to an separate database) which was never taught or addressed.

This course is great for concept of ML good enough for applying but not the best for who try to understand under the hood of ML

It's can go future if you need to know more math behind ML you need to take another course

scope of this course is too small you need more to learn about ML but this course is good to start with.

I think the course structure is great and provides a good overview of the various machine learning algorithms. In my opinion the coding excercises could dig a little deeper into the subject matter and sometimes a little more detail on the maths behind the algorithms would be beneficial. Overall it is a good introduction.

Although a great course some of the materials are outdated. Some codes did not work without importing proper libraries/modules, needed time to figure out. The Watson Studio/IBM cloud looks different now than in the video in the course, so, it takes more time to figure it out.

In summary: Great, but needs an update.

I had an amazing learning experience in this course. Although, i had challenges understanding some parts of the code, i found that i was able to scale through the capstone project without much stress. To further improve on the experience, it will be nice if some strange codes are properly explained and documented.

Great course!

Just a short notice about the final exercise. It would be helpful to guide the students a bit further. I didn't know what to do with so many "blank lines" to fill in. In my opinion, you should whether explain what to do in each line or just leave a "big blank line" where we can write our scripts.

I liked the course but felt that a beginner would not be able to cope up with the speed. However, if someone already has a basic knowledge of data analysis using python, this course would be perfect. I especially liked how each algorithm was explained in detail, how it works and what parameters effects them.

The courses prior to this course in IBM Data Science for Professional were simpler, and the codes were easier to understand. Some of the codes in the labs session for this course were difficult to understand. However, overall the course was a lot more effective and more in depth.

Thank you for this service.

Creo que este curso es muy avanzado para mi. Me gustó porque el instructor explicó muy bien de donde viene y como funciona las distintas metodologias, pero a nivel de practica algunas cosas no fueron explicadas y en el projecto final fue un poco confuso iniciar aunque realmente era aplicar las practicas.

I loved this course "Machine Learning with Python" because it's a good courses, easy to understand , good explanation, and this course have an application with python programming language directly. So, you can understand not just the theory but how to code the theory that have been taught using python.

Material was great. Tutorial videos were great. The only improvement I would expect is on the Labs. Not only the lab environment was slow but there were certain errors in the questionnaire for final assignment for quite some time which no one seems to correct. If this is rectified, its a great course.

It's a good course to have some idea about ML case. A good part of the course is that, it has some brief expenations people to let them work further. Maybe not a learning course but a very good start. I do appreciate the instructors capacity to give lecture and summirize. Thank's for all the afford!

Loved the content, there needs to be more explanation about what Python code is necessary to complete the final project. In many cases I had to convert strings to integers and use plotting codes outside of examples. Please provide references to use that are necessary to complete the final project.

Great course for machine learning beginers. Helped me gain some general ideas about machine learning, and I'm able to conduct simple machine learning algorithm on my own after the class. Would be better if the python code has more detailed explaination, or has videos walking us through the code.

The course thoroughly teaches about all the mathematical formulas and theoretical explanation in creating and predicting of data in data models. But I think if he also teaches about various python modules used for data science too, then it would have been much easier to do the assignments.

The content is good and broad, although a little too superficial sometimes. It also provides a fair Python practice. My biggest complaint are the quizzes, that are full of bugs. Those bugs are the number one complaint in the forum, but there is very little responde from the management.

This is a really good course, where the instructor is clear, detailed when needed and practical in his examples. The only downsight is that this, as every other course of IBM Data Science program, is not designed to be a part of a full course: Often it repeats some previous concepts.

The course is very useful for the beginner as me. It contains a good math explanation of ML methods. The technical Python part in labs is good enough too for the beginner in Python/ Sometimes it don't correspond fully to the math part but it isn't critical. Thanks for the course!

Good course syllabus. Some improvements needed: Jupyter notebooks contain many English typo errors. The final assignment rubric uses the wrong normalization technique for the test data where test data were normalized by itself instead of training a scaler with the training data.

I noticed some (not critical) mistakes here and there during the video lectures and the quizzes.

Over all, a good course, but I think in order to gain a full understanding of the material one needs to look deeper into the literature. The course provides a good starting point.

The course explains all the basics of Machine Learning in very simple and easy language; even the statistical and advance mathematic concepts are explained simply and graphically & also only as much in depth as needed to understand the ML algorithm properly.

Thanks!

Working with the IBM notebook for the final assessment was a bit of a pain

And the peer assessment has no recourse, someone marked me down for something i had, i guess they didnt notice? but i dont have an easy way of getting that changed

Content is good stuff though

Very Good Crash Course. Concepts are explained efficiently without wasting much time on the Mathematical/Statistical stuff. Awesome Notebooks are given to code along with the concepts which is really helpful. Must learn deeper and further to become a Professional.
