Learner Reviews & Feedback for The Data Scientist’s Toolbox by Johns Hopkins University
About the Course
Top reviews
It was really insightful, coming from knowing almost nothing about statistics or experimental design, it was easy to understand while not feeling shallow. Just the right amount of information density.
As a business student from Bangladesh who is aspiring to be a data analyst in near future, I love this course very much. The quizzes and assessments were the places to check how much I exactly learnt.

By Shashi K P
•The course introduced us to data science questions and got us to know collaborating with peers using Git Hub
By Cathryn S
•Fine as a general introduction, but not a lot to it. Good explanations of how to use github and get set up.
