Learner Reviews & Feedback for Data Science Capstone by Johns Hopkins University

The Capstone starts well with sufficient guidance. The second part gives much freedom however, it might be overwhelming and unclear at times what to do next. However, I loved going out on my own and slowly learning more and more on the subject.

You can pretty much choose how much effort you put into it.

An excellent conclusion to the course.

It awesome that you can have the opportunity to learn so much just online. Thanks!

Excellent , I recommend this certificate to everyone interested in this field. i like Brian Caffo on statistics he is very good.

clear and easy course which gives a basic understanding of working with data. Great inclusion of the tools that are useful for presenting your data analysis.

This course was great. I went from having a decent grasp on statistics and a little knowledge of software like SPSS to being employed as a data analyst where most of my job is using R.

Great course for learning data science.

Wow i finally managed to finish the specialization!! definitely learned a lot and also found out difficulties in building predictors by trying to balancing speed, accuracy and memory constraints!!!

For me this project was harder than all other courses combined but, because of that, also more rewarding! The theory is very scarce so you're on your own, that's what makes it hard. Once you get the theory right the rest is easy. I learned a lot of NLP and let me practice "Pitchs" using diferent R tools.

Everything I expected from a final project: challenging, interesting, well organized. I loved it!

The Capstone Project was very informative

I really enjoyed this capstone project. An opportunity to dive into yet another data science area: NLP!

The task is really hard, but it should be. You are a data scientist now, be ready to deal with new analyses and new topics. It's a bit tough since topic in NLP and we haven't discussed much that in previous courses, but you will learn something new and apply the knowledge you gained in the specialization. Thank you Brian, Jeff and Roger for making this specialization.

nice learning experiencd

Hard work challenge, but great to achieve.

What a journey, Gain lots of knowledge, very unique way to teach and lots of material to learn. Thank you for all your help.

It is hard, I am a grad student and took some extra time but is worth it. With this project, you learn a lot!

Great course, challenging enough but overall great experience and fun to learn

Very informative and beneficial course after going through all the previous courses.

Many thanks for the structured introduction to the extensive topic 'Data Science'.

Like diving in without learning to swim first - but man did I learn a lot.

Very engaging and well-designed course. Many thanks to the instructors and SwiftKey!

The assignment was designed very well. I struggled and was thinking of giving up. I'm glad I didn't. The assignment actually required all skills I learnt previously. A bit time consuming but achievable. Thank you very much!

I appreciate all the work they put into creating the course,. However, it can be frustrating to follow. It would be nice if they would structure it in a more organized fashion.
