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.

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Useful information for outdated version of IBM cloud.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.

I wish the explanations near the end were gone through slower since it can overwhelmed some people.

I also wish the exercise was more involved.

Good overview at the beginning, but too much emphasis on IBM commercial products in second half. IBM Watson instructions sometimes confusing.

At times the content of the course becomes overwhelming, also content is very outdated and doesn't match which current interface of the tools

The tools are great, but it mostly about IBM, and kinda boring for those tools introduction without we ever will try it in the nearby future.

The course is good; just missing to solve the problem of creating Notebooks in Watson platform which is extensively documented in the forums.

over all was a good course but much of the materials were out dated which takes some time for someone to figure out to find a way around it.

Lots of videos need to be updated as the links, buttons and/or page content are quite different from the actual page student seeing today.

The description of the IBM Watson studio is not correct.

The videos are outdated and it took time to map old tool to new IBM watson studio

I would have rated 5 stars although, IBM Watson Studio (Data Science Experience) was outdated and some had issues according to the forum.

The introduction to IBM Cloud Watson Studio in the courseware should be updated to reflect the layout and buttonology of the new layout.

The IBM Data Studio videos are outdated and they don't reflect what you find on IBM Data Studio's new version. Please update the videos.

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
