Great starting point for any experienced professional with no data science background to understand this growing in-demand field, its purpose, the various components that comprise data science, in addition to overall objectives and outcomes of data science. Allows you to evaluate how much further one would like to dive into the field respective of your personal or professional objectives.

Very nice way to get introduced to the world of data science. Thanks a lot!

Great to do if, you want to dive into data science or machine learning. It is a must do, if you have no idea of the rationale behind statistics and data science as well as the need for it.

Nice and well taught .There is really alot to learn

A light overview about Data Science that can be really useful as a first time on this topic.

Executive Summary: Do not spend time on this course if you have minimal common sense and have read at least one article on Data Science.

I finished the 11 week course "Machine Learning - Stanford University - by Andrew Ng" 2 months ago, which was such a great course! It kept me busy for about 20 days (at about 4-6 hours per day) and I learned so much!

This course "A Crash Course in Data Science - Johns Hopkins University" , Part of a 5-course series, the Executive Data Science Specialization, provided just some superficial obvious information, took me only 3 hours to complete and even this time I would could wasted time.

Finally coursera now starts to make courses smaller and smaller and them adding multiple of them up to "Specialization", so that at the end you have to pay much more to get a certain amount of information and course time. With this course they seem to have streched it to a new extreme. The price for the certificate for this superficial short mini course has reached the same price ($ 44) as what I payed for the extensive great Machine Learning course from Stanford University by Andrew Ng !

Nice course, I haven't practiced actual data science neither professionally nor academically for a while, and it is a good, gentle re-introduction to the domain

Great Overview of key terms.

Some of the quiz questions could be clearer. Other than that, I have learnt a lot

I had great fun..

Thank you.

Very useful in helping me get a big picture about the kingdom of DS. Great professors with rich resources related to the course! Definitely want to learn more with them. Ricky

Engaging lectures.

Excellent course coverage and helpful to understand the difference between hype and value.

Fundamental for beginners.

Clear with easy to understand concepts. The course made great use of examples and video lectures to bring participants up to speed on Data Science basics.

A very well designed course to begin the journey of (not-hyped) data science. Thank you!

I have enjoyed while learning new things

Exemplos claros e didaticos sobre o tema, me ajudou a entender toda estrutura de Data Science

The course is general enough for non-specialist, but rigorous enough to keep you challenged and interested. Highly recommend for anyone who deals with data and data analysts / engineers as part of their work, or who aspires to do so.

good

It was my first experience on an Online course, and was really good!

Very good high level intro to Data science

The instructors have provided a detailed account of what Data Science actually means, without having to actually dive into the minutiae. The course focuses on providing clarity about the field and helps you look beyond all the hype. All in all, great clarity, great focus.

This is a great course if you just need to know what Data science is and it isn't.

Very interesting first course in this track. I learned a lot and am looking forward to more.

Narrative is clear and concise and quizzes are though look easy they are in fact really made me involved. Excellent Course
