About the Course

In order to be successful in Data Science, you need to be skilled with using tools that Data Science professionals employ as part of their jobs. This course teaches you about the popular tools in Data Science and how to use them. You will become familiar with the Data Scientist’s tool kit which includes: Libraries & Packages, Data Sets, Machine Learning Models, Kernels, as well as the various Open source, commercial, Big Data and Cloud-based tools. Work with Jupyter Notebooks, JupyterLab, RStudio IDE, Git, GitHub, and Watson Studio. You will understand what each tool is used for, what programming languages they can execute, their features and limitations. This course gives plenty of hands-on experience in order to develop skills for working with these Data Science Tools. With the tools hosted in the cloud on Skills Network Labs, you will be able to test each tool and follow instructions to run simple code in Python, R, or Scala. Towards the end the course, you will create a final project with a Jupyter Notebook. You will demonstrate your proficiency preparing a notebook, writing Markdown, and sharing your work with your peers....

I love the detailing of every aspect of this course. The Labs, the free subscriptions and free trials provided by IBM Skills Network, everything has been so amazing. Thank you Coursera, thank you IBM.

the best course for the beginner who is going to start his data science journey. This course tells you all options like tools, libraries, programming languages, etc. Highly recommended for beginners.

Some of the classes seem rushed, especially during Week 2. It can cause confusion and some fear to attendants. Week 3 picks up the pace again, and was great

A bit heavy on IBM tools, many of them may never be relevant. Some video's are pointless, some the quality is poor. Especially the github videos er rubish.

i feel the material focus a whole lot on ibm products which i understand.But it kind of sucks you in for longer periods whenits meant to be a brief intro.

Git and GitHub could be explained better - not possible to understand from info given in a course, you have to go and search for extra information outside.

There were some parts. It's too much details about name of another package and brand name of it or something. Really difficult to digest it in a few hour.

It was a good basic overview across a range of topics. The assignments were very, very easy however; I don't think it was particularly challenging at all.

The instructions are not very clear and also the interface for IBM Waston has changed a lot but the videos have not been updated, which caused confusions.

The content was not so much helpful for someone who is learning the data science, Rather it was more like the pitch of IBM Watson, especially 3rd module.

too basic... and it's really weird that I have to submit so many times for quiz until it feels less of a learning experience but more of a bug experience

I felt that the course wasn't thorough - it seemed more like an endorsement for IBM Watson more than an attempt at teaching data science. Disappointed.

Not all learning materials are up to date. I needed to invest significant amount of time to understand how to create New Project in IBM Watson Studio!

A little too easy (only took an hour or two) and navigating IBM's Watson is confusing at times. Overall though, this course delivers what it promises.

Ok intro - just light on underlying technical details and probably requires a background into coding to really get good insight into tools and uses.

Didn't like this module cause all this Open Source tools could be mentioned in 1 short video lection and then learners should learn the specific one

It was informative. However, it seems outdated. The module for Rstudio is basically useless because it n longer works in data Scientist Workbench.

A lot of demonstrations and tools spoken about. Would have been nice to have some practical exercises to solidify knowledge gained from the module.

Too much theory and things to memorize... Things have to be taken to practice in the first place before jumping into such complicated tecnicismos.

The content of the course is very good but until the videos are updated for IBM Studio it is very confusing trying to follow along with the videos.

Felt a little bit like a filler course. Very focused on teaching you about IBM products and services. Only got into basic coding in the last week.

Its been quite a trouble because the tutorial videos are not updated with the updated watson studio website. But the content was very satisfactory

Useful information for outdated version of IBM cloud.

No response to course forum for 2 days... and counting. I cannot share a file in the Cloud??

This course is a very brief introduction to a variety of tools. The course can probably be tackled in just a couple of days if you are committed.

Week1,3,4 is interesting.

Too much information for me in Week#2. I retained max 20% of the info.

Materials shall be adjusted to beginner audience.

This course is too much focused in IBM cloud tools. Most of us don't want to use in this way, but is much more common to install in the desktop.

I have enjoyed the course series so far but IBM Watson Studio is honestly a disaster. I normally use Anaconda and it is a much better platform.
