Only one advice. Do not purchase this course. Instead of teaching data science, the course is designed to promote IBM cloud platform. There is minimal exercise questions. Complete course is designed in a random, unstructured manner. The explanations provided are not adequate enough. This course is a complete waste of time, money and energy.

Please stay away from these IBM promotion videos(Professional Data Science Course)

It has been locked for me telling that I have to wait until 22 July ( 7 weeks !!) until I can continue . What the hack !! I had to pause for a month but it was clearly stated that one can proceed after a pause at any time. No possibility to get the deadlines reset is given either and on top of it the the help center is not reachable by email so that I could resolve the issue. Very, very frustrating !!!

This course was more advertising IBM products and at the end to do the final project asks to make an account in IBM. The procedure for building account is not updated with the current IBM website. Trying to make a IBM cloud account, I needed to enter billing information eventhough it was a free service...

I think IBM should try to improve their website before teaching others how to use it

Finished the course, now have to wait 6 weeks to receive a certificate anyway.

This course makes you use their awful third party application, which was a massive pain to setup due to errors on the IBM website.

The content is lackluster and barely talks about the important details of the algorithms used. The coding portions are essentially copy-paste and you feel like you learn nothing.

The capstone project in wk6 has too much technical problem in NS Labs. Same code that work perfectly in IBM cloud does not work in NS Labs due to compatibility problem. I cannot finish the capstone project in IBM cloud because I have used up all me free hours in IBM cloud. However, the provide notebook has too much problem in NS Labs. Very disappointed!

The course final to use multiple methods to predict loan payoff. No matter what model used, predicting 100% loan payout was more accurate. If the point of the project was to "show how you can't machine learning everything", I would say it succeeded there, but not a very good way to kick start a better understanding of ML applications.

Absolute waste of time. Content is outdated, and clearly not properly maintained. Final projects are based on data that is littered with errors, to include errors in the code written by IBM as an example to the student. I literally can't submit the final project because of an error in the instructors code.

Simply the second worst course I took on coursera (the first on is the upcoming one in this porf certificate course, where the guy records the videos in his car with his potato cellphone).

No clear explanation, one bored instructor shows ppt pages with little to no explanation of math equations.

very poor quality. limited information and explanation. The staff makes us feel like they are not confident enough to answer questions. The only reason for going on is that I already invested a lot of money and time. definitely not recommended. It should be improved.

I didn't like this. There's no one to ask questions. You take the course and leave full of doubts. The forum takes a long time to respond; the work is peer-reviewed. For those who already know it's good, but for those just starting out, I don't recommend

The course could have been broken down further—too much information to learn in a week. Two weeks have around 4 algorithms taught each week and all other weeks have less information. So, in 6 weeks, two weeks are tight and the rest are very loose.

Kindly don't waste your money in this professional certificate. It's of no use. You can get much better courses for just 12.99 on Udemy or you can do other specialization from U of Michigan or JHU. It is total waste of time and money

Before taking this course I suggest you clear some basics of Machine Learninig (like Machine Learning by Andrew Ng) to understand, this is a very shallow introductory course. This couse can help with learning libraries like sklearn.

Horrible class without any real, meaningful instruction. The videos are completely useless and do not help with the suddenly difficult ungraded labs. If you have no background in this field, you'll find yourself completely lost.

No me permite realizar ni los laboratorios ni los exámenes, hasta dentro de un mes. No entiendo porque bloquean las actividades de un curso por el que estas pagando una mensualidad

This review is out of this course scope.

I heard it like 1000 times in this course

at least give us details where we can learn all of those out of the course scope information.

Multiple and continuos bug that stop all forward progress. Honeslty kind of shameful that it is both so bad and the admins dont seem to care or be able to fix the issues.

this course does not meet your goal you have to learn coding only in the written format nowhere in this course teach us to do programing of machine learning except lab

PATHETIC , WAY TO EARN MONEY NOTHING ELSE. NO RESPONSIBILITY TO TEACH WHAT IS NEEDED. GIVING ASSIGNMENTS WITH NO BACKUP SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE NEW TO CODING . USELESS

Despite my subscription being inactive, i am still being charged on my credit card and I have no menu item to show me where to cancel my subscription.

Could not access the labs throughout the course, any query related to this issue posted on the discussion forum was completely ignored by the staff.

The concepts are explained well but the coding explanation is zero which makes it very difficult to understand and implement the code

This module was so complicated - especially the final project - and there was no feedback to help you get it right. Very frustrating.

just awful. The most annoying part is the IBM cloud. Once your trial runs out it is not possible to complete the course....

Out of reach for individuals wanting to do just data analysis. Too much for beginner course.
