perfect for beginner level. all the concepts with code and parameter wise have been explained excellently. overall best course in making anyone eager to learn from basics to handle advances with ease.
I started this course without any knowledge on Data Analysis with Python, and by the end of the course I was able to understand the basics of Data Analysis, usage of different libraries and functions.

•Does the job of a good introduction.
Very limited and restrictive practice and assinments.
For a true learning experience one needs to do a lot of external research and work to show a measureable benifit.

•The content is good but there are a lot of mistakes and typos in the material. The peer review is extremely vulnerable to errors - only one person reviewed my assignment and gave me the wrong mark.
By D W
•Useful course but riddled with typos & inconsistent questions and answers. Needs a proper review by someone (probably not the people answering on the forums, who didn't seem especially clued up).
By Aaron C
•The videos really are not very engaging (relative to any other course that I have completed here on Coursera). The concepts are not explained very thoroughly. Thanks anyway guys.

•Too much content, so less practice. This course doesn't teach anything that you can make use of in the long term. It only gives an idea on what you have to work on in the future.
By Sheen D
•This is by far the worst course in the specialization. So many mistakes in the lab session, including unclear instruction, or syntax is not uniform across each module, and etc.

•The IBM Developer Skills Network (at labs.cognitiveclass.ai) is very slow and doesn't work most of the time.
It doesn't allow to finish the course properly.
By Ismael S
•Content is thrown to the student with too much information and videos of only 3-4 minutes. Too much to absorb and too little to practice properly
By Tarun S
•Concepts of the algorithms are unclear. In the notebooks as well, it is not in a flow. Very confusingg for a beginner to learn from this.
By Malcom L
•more hands on, project based/game based learning. Mindlessly watching videos and regurgitating code in the labs can not be the only way.
By Santanu B
•Not a great course. Sometimes it is too fast and the explanations are very short. More hands on exercises would have been more helpful.
By Rajesh W
•There are plenty of mistakes in the videos and in the lab session as well. Hope you guys can clear out those.
By Wayne W M
•This was a very challenging course. Some concepts were difficult to grasp and required additional research
By Mark F
•Frustrating when the peer reviewer doesn't actually understand Python and deducts marks for correct code.
By Hunter I
•Leaned some, but not a whole lot of real-world application, I recommend people take Python courses more
By Ashwin D
•Not enough hands on problems, including variety and volume. Expected more from an IBM program.
By Nathaniel S
•Don't spend your money on IBM Data Science Cert. Course labs are full of bugs and not working.
By Edwin S J
•Suddenly introduced complex codes and statistical functions. Videos were way too fast.
By Somak D
•moderators do not respond to questions raised in forum. leading to incomplete learning
By Jen E
•So many problems with the lessons and the final project.
By Rasmi D
•very high level... topics not covered in depth
By Q B M
•some commands are not fully explained.
By Srikantha R
•Definitely NOT for beginners. No proper explanation of basic concepts. The instructor assumes that all students knows everything and they just explaining python formulas without giving basic concepts on data analysis or statistics. If one has to complete this course only for the sake of certification, one must get the basics right with free online materials and then only can enroll for this so called 'BEGINNER' course to get certificate. I am cancelling my subscription and can learn on my own with free and better online materials

•During the 4th week of the course, lots of important information and explanations are over summarized and in some cases skipped over. Learning tools outside of what is provided in the course or a decent understanding statistics is required in order to be successful in this course.
