Learner Reviews & Feedback for What is Data Science? by IBM

This is just a bunch of grad students and professors giving their opinion on what Data Science is, it's not really a course so much as an undergrad youtube project.

Intros are usually boring but this was quite good at giving the big picture and the need for human interaction. The IBM cloud "service" leaves much to be desired.

this is a promotional course with a lot of buzzwords and zero content. could have been summed up in 2 5min videos. shame on wasting students time and effort.

I thought the course would give a more practical introduction of Data Science. This was more about understanding what it is and how it is applied in theory.

CONTENT WAS GOOD , BUT IBM CLOUD WAS VERY COMPLICATED. WAS NOT ABLE TO PROCEED FDURTHER INTO THE COURSE. KINDLY ELABORATE MORE ON PAID AND LITE SERVICES.

only general information, quiz with unnecessary questions, at least I know that the more bathrooms the higher price can be earned by selling a house :)

The course is mostly introductory and very basic. I think it could be helpful if you have never had any contact with the Data Science idea.

The first part is great but the second part goes super crazy technical and is impossible to keep up without a computer science background.

Not necessary in my opinion, have very little viable information and trying to promote the subject by creating unrealistic expectations.

Most videos are are very very basic. It seems like an introduction to the introduction. I hope it will go faster in the next courses.

The course is motivational, but it is long and nothing practical is learned. Also the week 3 grading part doesn't make much sense.

Very (too) general intro to DS

superficial

Questions in tests are often irrelevant and somethimes the answers are just plain wrong

I did not like the readings. The font was small and the storytelling not so creative and comprehensive. i did like some videos.

Good way for beginners to decide if they want to do data science as a career, but poorly designed questions and grading system.

An introductory course light on information best suited for those who have not had any formal education beyond high school.

I believe this course was very long for what it is. I believe it could have been narrowed down to one video of 20 minutes.

I didn't expect this style of lecture. Still to be convinced. Mostly interviews. I think the approach should be changed.

This probably should have been integrated into Module 2. As a stand-alone it is lacking in much in the way of content.

Unnecessarily long, although the content is interesting. Quizzes and assignments are not really engaging or too easy

There is not much I have learned. Videos were not very informative; text provided in the courser were better off.

It was a decent overview of the subject, but I didn't feel like there was a whole lot that wasn't already obvious.

not that helpful and a bit boring to do the assign, but overall a nice overview f you know zero about data science

Doesn't cover any real material, you can move fast through the course, but I found it to be a waste of my time.

A very soft introduction to DS, and a massive waste of time. Hope the next courses in the series are better.

Too many videos, very little information and things to apply. I hope the next courses are richer in content.
