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....

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.

It serves perfecty its aim that is giving a first glance of the open course tools for data science. Of course each tool is briefly touched and it hands over the student the duty to deepen each tool.

If this course exemplifies how IBM does business, I do not wonder, if they would go out of business soon.

If you are interested in Data Science and Data Analytics, but just starting out, the Google Certificate Program on Coursera is a better fit for you! The actual insights into Data Science as a Science here is quite low compared to the length of the course. You can see that the course was designed by someone who is a Data Science practitioner but has no idea how to conceptualize an online-learning-format...

The content of this course, in part, is quite interesting. However, it is by no means a beginner-course and gives you hours and hours of highly software-specific content which, if you do not use or need the software which is featured, does not add any value to your path!

The graded tasks made it unbearable for me to follow the Course. They require you to access third-party websites where you have to manually login, create an account, verify it at least 3 times (with your credit-card as well, which did not work for me, so I was unable to continue, if I wanted to have the certification at the end)... Please review your strategy.
