This is a great starter course for data science. My learning assessment is usually how well I can teach it to someone else. I know I have a better understanding now, than I did when I started.

Is really hard to summarize the potential of Data Science and being clear, but I think that the instructors have done their best, so that we can achieve the most from the Course.
Great Job!

Quite disappointed. While I expected a high-level summary, anybody who has done basic stats in school probably knows 90% of the superficial level of information in this course. Buzzwords like "neural networks" and "random forests" appear during the course, but without even a high-level explanation of what those are. The lectures are pretty low-quality in terms of content and presentation. The most informative portion would the comparison of Machine Learning to Traditional Stats. The quizzes are pretty simple (with some common sense you could probably pass a lot of them without going through the content of the course). Completed the course in one sitting, in about a third of the time estimated on the enrollment page.

There is an error in a question in one quiz. I have tried selecting each answer multiple times, and the response still comes up wrong. This is preventing me from completing the course, and the certificate, which I need to complete for work.

The course, though fascinating, the only setback is the certification does not approve the learner being taught from JHU or certification being authentic which is per the information it conveys.
No incentive therefore continuing with it.

It's too short, I think it should be a part of a course and not a course itself.
It is a repetition of concepts and examples from other courses by john hopkins univ.

I struggled thru. Barely. This is no joke. Course description should state that minimum knowledge should have some statistic background or something like that.

It would be great if slides were prepared and used through out the videos....
I was looking for something a little but more technical...

This course is very sparse on details, and just a week of content. The lecturer is not the best at explaining concepts.

Very basic, for absolute beginners/ managers completely new to data (let alone data science)

Too short to get any depth of information. Too expensive for the content provided.

it's a shame to split a one month course to four.
