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.

Everything in this course feels like it stars in the middle, no explanation of anything. The course doesn't have any flow just random videos shown one after the other.

This course is a loss of time and I hate it that I am forced to create accounts on different sites. I only endured this course because it is part of another course.

I'm not sure why this is publicized as a set of courses leading one to certification. It's a set of useless videos leading one to frustration and disappointment.

Worst course I have taken in my life. Mentioning about everything which is not possible to learn without practice. I just skipped some of videos. Wasting time.

The videos are outdated, and the final assignment cannot be done due to technical issues. The instructor is not responsive to questions in the comment section.

Just a long list of software and other applications with no real effective explanation about their use. It looks more like an advertisement for ibm products.

outdated. UI of the program has completed changed, and the instruction is still in the old way. I wasted so much time on finding out how to use the program.

Very useless course. The material would be best learned along with one of the languages. Instead, this is a glorified advertisement for IBM Watson Studio.

sorry for writing in a not formal way , She seems like she is reading a pdf that is holding behind the camera in a monotone way that makes you sleepy .

IBM Watson is the worst. Account issues are endless and will not allow me to do anything that the curriculum states. Stop using that platform.

Outdated, mostly ads for the used services.

You could learn all the information provided in this course in under half an hour just by reading.

The course is not really well organized. Furthermore, the videos are deprecated wrt the open sources they refer to. I wouldn't recommend it!

Don't take it. No Course Instructors, no help. Not worth the money...

Even the Working Platform is always timing out or has a gateway error.

The course is good but Video files should have been upgraded for a new product. It make students that have poor IT background be confused.

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.

Material not updated

Project does not seem to workout as explained, HTML content does not show up on browser when you share the link

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.
