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....

I love the detailing of every aspect of this course. The Labs, the free subscriptions and free trials provided by IBM Skills Network, everything has been so amazing. Thank you Coursera, thank you IBM.

the best course for the beginner who is going to start his data science journey. This course tells you all options like tools, libraries, programming languages, etc. Highly recommended for beginners.

Watson trial ended before I could finish course and it became impossible to complete without paying 200+ to get watson studio again.

Complete waste of time and nothing but a marketing tool to get you to create IBM on line accounts that you can't delete afterwards.

terrible. Can't believe I need to pay for this because this was simply only a matter of ads for IBM and it gave me nothing to do.

Too much theories and very little practice. I was bombarded with definitions and tool names. I feel I have learned very little.

The platforms are not ready. Instructions are outdated. Just familiarized with possible platforms, didn't learn anything useful.

Very difficult to follow without any previous programming experience. Would put this course after in-depth programming courses.

The course is awful! The information has gotten old and has not been updated.

The information about Watson studio is useless.

What does this course aim to achieve, this course will definitely scare any beginner off from data science. Serves no purpose

I think I will come back to this course within months because it contains useful material, but for beginners it is useless!

Cours are not updated and maintained for new updates for the tools and it is frustrating to navigate through instructions.

Outdated course with unresponsive teaching staff. Screenshots did not match the current IBM cloud and should be updated!

Lets not lie... This course was a giant ad for IBM's tools and also a very clever way to gather data about their users.

Absolute trash. The whole thing feels like an IBM add. The course doesn't actually teach you how to program anything

Course Videos were not updated. It took too much time to create account on IBM watson. It was complete waste of time

The content of the course is extremely poor...

We do not need to know how to enumerate the various IBM products...

It's really not convenient, wasting my time and money. Too much content about IBM's tools which should be payed.

The Watson Studio tutorial is out of date and the product itself is nothing but frustrating. A bad experience.

A run down of an arbitrary set of tools - not that useful unless you're planning to use the whole IBM suite

Made it through the first week - very little hands-on learning. Mostly just a narrator reading information.

I think this course talk too much framework about IBM cloud that is unnecessary for people to understand.
