I had some misconceptions about Data Science and what data scientists do. This course set me straight and ignited my enthusiasm to continue pursuing this path. Armed with better understanding and a clearer vision of where and how to proceed, I can't wait to move on to the next level.

Was very happy to hear that curiosity, be extremely argumentative and judgmental are the must and top skills of a Data Scientist! Will definitely read "Getting Started with Data Science: Making Sense of Data with Analytics (IBM Press)". Thank you so much for the great introduction!!!

A great course for building strong foundations of data science. It includes all the background knowledge and clears the confusion that is created by the inter diciplinary field. Not only this. This course meks you master in undertanding the data science domain. Thank you coursera !

Informative and well structured, the instructors made the topic interesting and intriguing. Not easy for a "hard" science like Data Science. The sense of wonderment and curiosity that was infused in this course makes it ideal for anyone who is just dipping their toes into the topic.

Murtaza Sir was my favorite during the entire session, his thoughts motivated me a lot, the one when he said the curiosity is the most important skill when you are going to become a DATA SCIENTIST.

Really Good Work by Coursera team and IBM for creating such a wonderful course for us.

This was fun and informative. I've been poking around trying to learn more about data science for a long time and I actually learned quite a few new things and confirmed other things I've been told. The assessment was a bit simplistic, but the interactive explorations were helpful.

This course is quiet useful in understanding about data science is and different terms related to it along with it you get to know about the scope of data scientists and in which fields it can be applied and how and what information or knowledge you need to become a data scientist.

This is a course which can provide knowledge on Data Science Foundations .A person who is having 0 knowledge on Data Science ,after taking this course can have a clear cut view of applications of Data science and can gain knowledge that can drive his passion in Data science career.

This course has given a basic view about data science and tools being used by data scientist. Easily described about AI, Data mining and neural network. I came to know the basic differences between deep learning and machine learning and how they are interrelated with each other.

Course gives fundamental discription of what is data science and who is data scientist. I have learnt about the skills that are need to become a good data scientist. In general, it is great course, that will open your curiosity and interest to learn even further about data science.

Great intro course! It gave me a deeper understanding of what data science is and what data scientist do. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to get into the field and wants a deep understanding of what skills you will develop and how you would contribute to an organization.

This was just an introduction, but you have done an amazing job. I used to enroll in many courses before in different majors on-campus and online, but no one was enjoyable as this one. I have full motivation to keep exploring on this course details and the next sections. Good job.

This course help me understand more about the huge role plays by every data scientist out there. Besides the important of having data, collect data and the understanding to extract data can help in grow and scale any business and also helpful in saving lifes by early prediction.

My first course taken on Coursera and implicitly the first Data Science course here. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the materials, the integration with IBM services, the professionalism and kindness of the authors and the philosophy of the entire Coursera ecosystem.

Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Orah Richard Ojochegbe, I am from Nigeria, my goal is to obtain my MSc and Ph.D. in data science (Especially AI, Big data and Machine learning(Data mining) in your organization. I have completed a course on what is data science? Please update my account

TO KNOW BRIEFLY ABOUT DATA SCIENCE YOU CAN EASILY LEARN AND HAVE BRIEF KNOWLEDGE VERY EASILY...ONE CURIOUS ABOUT HOW VERY LARGE DATA KEPT SAFELY VERY LARGE IN HOSPITAL, INDUSTRIES ETC...BY THE DATA SCIENTIST AND HOW THEY DO..THEY CAN JOIN THIS COURSE

ALL THE BEST

THANKYOU COURSERA

This introductory course, "What is Data Science?", is highly explanatory and well delivered by industry experts. It gave me a full glimpse of what data science is. It is highly preparatory for those who want to dig deeper into the world of Data Science. I heartily recommend it.

The title of the course really interprets what the entire course will teach you. Very informative, even though I am myself going for masters' didn't knew a lot that they covered in this series of lectures.

You will surely change your field if not in the same after watching this!!

A really great course, and an adequate amount of work/quizzes. It says about 3 weeks long of a course you can finish most of it in 1 full week of work. Which is perfect for someone like me, where on the weekends after work I can gain some huge progress and not feel so far behind

I really like this course. I have learned a lot from this course. It's really helping me. I learned, basic concept of data science and the various activities of a data scientist’s job, and methodology to think and work like a data scientist. Personally, I recommend this course!

Is quite scary to say the least to jump in to something named: Data Science, specially when you don't come from a Data or a STEM way of life. After finishing this course I have to say that I just want to keep learning to get my certificate because I'm sure I can make it happen.

The course was very informative. Now I have a clear image of what is data science and how it's being applied in a large variety of industries. Moreover, I learned what specifications are required for being a data scientist at a specific field and process of being hired.

Thanks

For someone who does not have much of a clue, this course was an eye opener.

Dr. Murtaza Haider has explained Data Science very simply and effectively through his videos.

Any one who wants to understand what is Data Science at a preliminary level, this is absolutely recommended.

The course was a great introduction to data science. I wanted to study data science but I didn't know which skills I need to be a data scientist. This course made it real clear to how to become a data scientist, why to become one, and what it takes to become a data scientist.

This course does a very thorough job at giving an overview of Data Science and what Data Scientist do. However, I would've liked for it to have delved a little more into how the rest of the certificate course is structured and what to expect; class contents, assignments, etc.
