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.

It is really focussed on IBM specific cloud tools. I would have liked at least one alternative as a praxis lab.

Please update the videos to reflect the updated IBM Watson studio's new look.

Besides that, the course is solid!

Good info, but the videos are out of date. If not for actually learning, I wouldn't recommend as a paid course.

Very informative, especially the basic programming on Jupyter. However, daunting with all the programme names.

Sometimes not consistent. Lectures on Git were terrible.

I liked introductions to Jupyter, R and Watson Studio.

Instruction and quiz are based on outdated information. And again too wordy for a bit of useful information.
