About the Course
Top reviews
Very learning experience, I am a beginner in DS, but the instructors in this course simplified the contents that made me I could easily understand, tools and materials were very helpful to start with.
I thought this course introduced the topic of data science very well. I think I have a much better idea how to describe data science and common terms associated with the field (like machine learning).

•The course is motivational, but it is long and nothing practical is learned. Also the week 3 grading part doesn't make much sense.
By Lizzy B
•Very (too) general intro to DS
superficial
Questions in tests are often irrelevant and somethimes the answers are just plain wrong
By Sophie L C H
•I did not like the readings. The font was small and the storytelling not so creative and comprehensive. i did like some videos.
By Xiaohan W
•Good way for beginners to decide if they want to do data science as a career, but poorly designed questions and grading system.
By Ross Q
•An introductory course light on information best suited for those who have not had any formal education beyond high school.
By Zuzanna c
•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.
By Oludayo
•I didn't expect this style of lecture. Still to be convinced. Mostly interviews. I think the approach should be changed.
By Bryan R
•This probably should have been integrated into Module 2. As a stand-alone it is lacking in much in the way of content.
By Bernardo B
•Unnecessarily long, although the content is interesting. Quizzes and assignments are not really engaging or too easy
By Ozan C O
•There is not much I have learned. Videos were not very informative; text provided in the courser were better off.
By Nathan E
•It was a decent overview of the subject, but I didn't feel like there was a whole lot that wasn't already obvious.
By Chiara P M
•not that helpful and a bit boring to do the assign, but overall a nice overview f you know zero about data science
By Avery W S
•Doesn't cover any real material, you can move fast through the course, but I found it to be a waste of my time.
By Mukto A
•A very soft introduction to DS, and a massive waste of time. Hope the next courses in the series are better.
By Nicolas C
•Too many videos, very little information and things to apply. I hope the next courses are richer in content.
By Drew W
•It's more of an advertisement for data science than a course. That said, the professors are great speakers!
By asher b
•Too repetitive. You could probably just pick 2 of these videos and include in the beginning of next course.
By Mandy P
•I think that it was too general, only a week of introduction would have been good. Not the whole course.
By Pith C d M C V N I
•This is just a general introduction. I hope more substance will be presented in the rest of the course
By Aliya S
•Talking about how data science so high paying half the time. Typos in reading material. Not worth it.
By Alireza M
•very basic and overview on DS. not talking about the technical aspects of DS. I expected technical.
By Filipe D
•Some useful information is provided, but much of the time is spent in video which adds no content.
By Nik D
•Fairly basic course...nothing really new if you're already immersed in some kind of data role.
By Vιƙιɳɠs

By Amit S
•Good introduction to data science I was actually expecting more like a practical training.
