It's good but it really requires someone who knows and even master Spark Apache(+SQL fundamentals) so that you can follow and understand and take advantage of the course

Nice course. Learned the basics of a lot of different topics. Nice to do a large Data Science project in the last part. So you can apply all learned theory

There some inconsistencies in code used in videos. There are some problems with Python 2 and Python 3 compatibility too. Quiz await exact numeric values in some answers, this is not correct taking into account the statistical inaccuracy.

Thank you Romeo. I really enjoyed your videos and your enthusiasm - I have been inspired. The activities were very well structured although there was some confusion initially when tasks needed SQL but the videos showed RDD solutions.

Great course ! As I've already had some fundamental knowledge about how to operate data analysis with Spark, the task is kinda easy for me. But this is just the first intro of the whole certificate. Keep fighting! Thank you Romeo :)

I learned a good amount about Apache Spark, IBM Watson, and integrating both with Python.
I liked the shorter videos with multiple checkpoints throughout and found the assignments and tutorials to be sufficiently challenging.

Great course that covers some of the fundamentals of advanced data analytics. I use some of these techniques (like PCA) in my career for discovering defects in devices. This is a great starting course.

Concise course. Has its challenging aspects, but overall was clear. The best part is the programming assignment and tutorials: great hands-on introduction to IBM Watson Studio with manageable examples.

Nicely arranged course. However, both assignment on week 4 should be rechecked to make sure that it could run as exercise to student. Also, please make sure that the video is up to date and less error.

Very useful courses to take if you are beginner of data science. The course was not detailed enough sometime. But you will surely get a global view of IOT data analysis after this courses.
