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.

I am sorry to say that I did not find this module of any use. After the new interface of IBM Watson, videos were not helpful at all.

The course need to update its material since there were a lot of complications and confusions with IBM Cloud and IBM Watson Studio.

No real learning involved here. Just a deluge of names thrown at you like someone reading out of the Silicon Valley yellow pages.

I'd rate it 4 or 5 stars if the course was updated so that the screenshots actually matched the content displayed on the websites.

Instructions sometimes do not correspond to the application screens since they have not updated alongside the application updates.

I stopped with this course as it did not seem to fit the beginner classification. I found another course that better fit my need.

Good Course .. but i think the material has been stretched to such long unnecessarily, had it been short it would be much better.

Some of the links don't work, the GUI in the videos seem outdated, videos walkthrough does not fully provide step by step guide.

It was great to work with all the different tools. But it was a little bit difficult to navigate thru the weeks and assignments.

Would be better if the video content (eg tool screenshots) and intructions match the tool that we were practising on, thank you.

Its just Ok. They spend so much time promoting their software that sometimes it feels more like an infomercial than a course.

There was a lot of focus on paid tools but the badge refers to open source tools. Other than that the course was interesting.

The tutor is extremely difficult to understand. He skips certain important aspects. Plus the course is not properly organized.

Some points are not explained in a clear way. The link provided by course is not working. I had to go to IBM website directly.

There are some outdated videos in this course. I think it would be cool if you could to update the videos about Watson Studio.

Very basic and does nothing more than mention the open source software and their features at a very shallow, and basic level.

It was an OK review of the tools but the course definitely needs updating.

The material is not suited for absolute beginners.

It goes very in deep in the tools you can use. But a bit long in my opinion. Wish to have more practical stuff to do soon

Most of the topics are unable to follow. This course doesn't seems to be designed for beginners, It could have be better.

The Waston Studio videos are outdated.

Time consuming to figure it out, esp. when your internet was not that good either..
