The final exam has broken questions

exercises could have been better.

I felt it was too fast to grasp.

Final assignment is quite messy

could not access the labs.

Not clear on the last part

This course is very tough

Lots of technical issues

Exams should be harder

la lala la la laa aaa

Not easy to follow.

Muy poco practico

très bon cours

Very Math!

GOOD

Definitely not one of my favorite courses in the Data Science Certificate series. There were times I was ready to give up the pursuit of the certificate altogether during this class... There should have been a prerequisite for this course of the statistical tools and methods that would be covered in here... Sure I could program these things after this class, but i still dont understand why I would choose to use one over another? This is one of those classes where you walk away feeling more confused than when you went in... Also there were a lot of mistakes, typos, and obsolete things in the labwork - some reported and acknowledged months ago, but still not fixed in the lab (video I can understand, but not the labs)

The content is good, but if you are not familiar with Python, I wouldn´t recommend this course. There are a lot of typos in the video. The code contains a lot of errors where you have to find a solution. So, you are forced to debug their code often.

But if you are only interested in the course certificate, you could quickly go through the videos and quizzes, without any problems. It's easy to pass because the questions are like: What is the result of print("Hello world"). So no real challenges at all.

Please, try to fix the typos. Sometimes it was very embarrassing. Example (Week 3) instead of

"from sklearn.metrics ..." the video comes up with "from sklearn.metrixs ..."

This course will throw a lot of information at you despite how short the instructional videos are. I found myself referring to the various Python library documentation sites just to get a better understanding of the formulas and concepts being introduced.

The lab modules leave a lot to be desired as well. Most of the time, you are just clicking through until you get to the bottom of the notebook. Also, please be warned that some of the functions taught in this class will not work as they have been updated in the last few years.

I am disappointed this class was a struggle to get through and I hope future students have a better experience.

Seems more adequate for people who have a background in statistical analysis. The labs are confusing and there is no orientation to the tool being used so it has taken me quite a while to figure out how to even proceed through a lab. After spending considerable time doing the lab, it may not submit the results and Coursera assumes you haven't take it yet which means you have to do it all over again. Other courses I've taken are structured much more clearly, step-by-step, providing activities that allow you to gain confidence before throwing you off the deep end. This one could use the help of an instructional design expert.

many typos, errors, mislabeled... just felt like a sloppy product were paying for. I was very frustrated as well by certain features not functioning... for example, after following specif instructions to share a notebook, just as I have done many times while working on this certification... testing the link comes back as unshared no matter what I do. This and the SQL course have been the worst so far in this Data Science cert but at least this course ended up marked as completed. If I wasn't already this far invested in the cert I would definitely quit and use free resources while I built my portfolio.

-1- The training and quizzes are full of errors. You need someone to actually review the content before publishing.

-2- The education focused more on the mechanics of how to run certain commands to obtain results rather than explaining why a data scientist would want to run these certain commands and how to best interpret them.

-3- I would embed more but perhaps smaller lab assignments rather than going over many concepts and making the person go through the steps (with minimal explanation) at the end of the module. This is particularly applicable for weeks 4 & 5.

Not a very good course. The information given in the videos was not explained well and key concepts seemed to be brushed past. The graded assignments were very dumbed down and did not reflect the difficulty of the videos. This was quite lucky though as the videos were not very good either. It seems like the graded assignments were dumbed down so that the course could actually be completed without further background reading.

More information should be added, longer length videos, and get rid of the peer-review system. Lazy.

I would not classify this as a BEGINNER course that only requires Python and Jupyter Notebooks knowledge as advertised. Statistical knowledge should be recommended before enrolling in this course. In one video, they just threw out acronyms like SLR and MLR before these were even explained. In addition, with the amount of plots that they made us do in this course whose syntax are very unfamilar, I feel that should be after the Data Visualization Python course in the Data Science track.
