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....

It would be nice if you could update the material since some tools have changed either name or the way they look compared to the videos/images. Very good material though, I enjoyed the course much.

Some of the lab assignments had instructions that didn't line up with how the programs actually worked. This was particularly the case for modular flow where auto-numerics seemed impossible to use.

Useful course to learn the basics, but some upgrade would be great. Some videos are old and the user interface of the platforms has changed. That makes following the videos complicated and the learning process less enjoying.

This course covers the most useful and relevant tools and libraries for Data Science, helping newcomers to learn fast and well guided. However, the trial that IBM offers at the end of its 3rd Section is no longer available.

It was a challenging course with some heavy usage of terminology. It took a little while to get my feet wet but the Lab sessions and reviewing content/videos helped and I was able to complete all my assignments succesfully.

As I am used to emacs as my go-to software for programming, given it's intense extensibility, I will keep using it instead of the other tools.

In any way, it was great to know more tools oriented torwards group programming.

Some of the IBM tool videos (Data Refinery in particular) is kind of hard to follow, it was like jumping into the deep end of the pool. Could've been better is it was a bit slower and had a lab session to go along with it.

I think the course was good overall giving the gist of various popular open source platforms available for Data Science. The only thing which disappointed me was that the course was not updated from a long period of time.

The course was amazing, I was more than happy to find out that there are easy ways to perform the tasks of data science in environments that are ready and perfect and I'll definitely use them.

Thanks a loT Coursera and IBM

At some point, I felt somewhat frustrated trying to open a Watson Studio account. Unfortunately, I couldn't with my debit cards but skipped the huddle using open-source tools like Jupyter. The experience is bitter-sweet.

Its good introductory course but contains very basic things and tasks that are boring and unfruitful to complete (such as the final assignment and many labs that require basic UI skills basically and a lot of clicking).

Amazing experience with this course learn new tools like IPYTHON, Ibm watson , all these tools are very well explained by tutor.But the think i dont liked is this is python course so why you add Rstudio in this course.

Good course, but the videos should be updated, for example, it shows IBM Data Science Experience when the name changed to IBM Watson Studio. Some links changed position in the screen and I lost time trying to find them.

Every thing is excellent just some videos are outdated like in week 2 there is skill lab in which there is no RStudio in march 2020 but videos shows to complete Rstudio practical. except this this is very good course.

The course is nicely packed. The point i would like to highlight is the 'other Tools part'. The concepts are ok but for a newbie it is not that upto the mark. like the SPSS , it will take time for a newbie to digest.

For getting started to know tools which a Data Scientist uses ,this course is a must, gives a great start since the assignment involves working Jupyter Notebooks, R Studio , Zeppelin Notebooks and IBM Watson Studio.

Muchos videos, en algunos casos ejercicios con imágenes que no corresponden a las actualizaciones de los programas. En general, informa de herramientas muy útiles y da un panorama muy completo de las herramientas.

This course introduces all the tools available in the IBM Watson studio. A brief introduction to every tool is provided and there is a Hands-on exercise for each tool. Overall, a good course for absolute beginners.

Videos prepared to explain IBM Watson tool should be updated. They show IBM Data Science Experience (former ediiton of IBM Watson) and because the interface is not looking the same, tracking the steps is difficult.

So, it wasn't perfect BUT it still was very rewarding in terms of the educational value. Learning to use these data tools will take practice and hands on learning.

The course was well paced and totally enjoyable!

It's a good course. But course videos are outdated. IBM Watson does not operate in the same way as it used to in these videos. And the videos should be updated. As it takes a lot of digging around to figure it out.

I found the course to be informative and covering a variety of tools. However it was constructed in a superfluous manner. I wish the material had more examples and was constructed in a little more detailed manner.

I thought the class was good and well organized. Polong Lin was very good. The only downside is that the video was dated when it came to IBM Watson studio. That was a bit confusing. But manageable. Thanks again.

Most of the videos were very good and easy to understand. But the videos of DATA REFINERY and many videos on GITHUB were hard (or near impossible) to understand. Please do make them in an user-friendly manner.

This course was really helpful. It gives you insight for the data tools used now days. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the video is not updated as per the creation of project in IBM Watson.

Very educational course. However, the interface on the videos are quite different from that of cognitive labs or IBM Watson. This made site navigation very difficult.

All in all, it was a good one. Learnt a lot.

Muy buen curso me ayudo bastante que tengamos las herramientas disponibles en la plataforma de IBM solo que algunas se han actualizado y los videos no, pero solo Rstudio IDE y Experiencia de Ciencia De Datos
