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.

In week 3 most of the videos were outdated. Watson has a different layout and it was not easy to follow the tutorials.

Great if you have or will have a job at IBM, otherwise not as interesting since you come in contact with many IBM tools.

Great introductory course, but does not provide training for the use of the various software in data analysis settings.

The Github modules were rushed and not beginner friendly. Everything else was good though. Great quizzes and assessment

The data science experience page demonstrated in the video does not match the actual interface. It was quite confusing.

Easy. You should include more exercises for each too and get students to do some small but real project on each tool.

Overall a good introduction to some tools for beginners. Not much actual practice, but that comes in later courses.

This REALLY needs to be updated for IBM Watson studio, the tools are completely different than what are in the video

Very basic. The IBM cloud advertisements make it feel more like a product endorsement than a real course, at times.

Assignments can be improved, they're parallel with course goal but learning about specific tools is a bit boring.

This course shows so many tools, but at the same time, you learn nothing. It so much content, but so little depth

The course could have been better if the presenter could have been in sync with the latest versions of software.

The old videos do not preset properly the steps one needs to take to create and configure the account in Watson.

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.

The section on IBM Watson was very poor - the desciption in course was misleading and nothing like actual tool

The Interface for Watson studio has change and the videos need to be updated in order to facilitate the course

A lot of the information was bulky and random with no prior step by step explanation of how to use the tools.
