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.

A bit boring, but necessary. I think there could be more graded exercises instead of ungraded experiments. To make it more challenging.

It is complicated when you are pushed to use Watson Studio to program in Python, there is another simple way without using that tool.

It was a really great course BUT in the labs the explanations on how to do things were very poor. I had to google a substantial amount

Overall, the course is good. Some of the videos are outdated. It made it difficult to complete the last assignment as well as the lab.

The material is chaotic, it's more tutorial and ad for three presented platforms than an independent course presenting available tools

Instruction Videos are outdated; a totally different format is used for some of the Open Source Tools then what is shown in the video.

There was some useful information, but overall it looked like a huge ad for a bunch of IBM products that I can't even appreciate yet.

We desperately need to update the vids to reflect the current v. of watson. This was tough to figure out without the proper tutorial.

The screen of the environment tools presented in this course should update regarding the application (Watson Data Science plataform).

There's a part in week three where the tutorial videos don't resemble the website we're supposed to be working with in the slightest.

For a beginner class, I thought there was lots of references to terminology and names of software, etc. that weren't well explained.

Some of the content desperately needs to be updated! In particular, the section on IBM Watson Studio *really* needs to be revisited.

It was very difficult to create account on IBM watson. Most of the critical things were self learn and there was no video for them.

I am sorry to say that I did not find this module of any use. After the new interface of IBM Watson, videos were not helpful at all.

The course need to update its material since there were a lot of complications and confusions with IBM Cloud and IBM Watson Studio.

No real learning involved here. Just a deluge of names thrown at you like someone reading out of the Silicon Valley yellow pages.

I'd rate it 4 or 5 stars if the course was updated so that the screenshots actually matched the content displayed on the websites.

Instructions sometimes do not correspond to the application screens since they have not updated alongside the application updates.

I stopped with this course as it did not seem to fit the beginner classification. I found another course that better fit my need.

Good Course .. but i think the material has been stretched to such long unnecessarily, had it been short it would be much better.

Some of the links don't work, the GUI in the videos seem outdated, videos walkthrough does not fully provide step by step guide.

It was great to work with all the different tools. But it was a little bit difficult to navigate thru the weeks and assignments.

Would be better if the video content (eg tool screenshots) and intructions match the tool that we were practising on, thank you.
