About the Course

Python is one of the most widely used programming languages in machine learning (ML), and many ML job listings require it as a core skill. This course equips aspiring machine learning practitioners with essential Python skills that help them stand out to employers. Throughout the course, you’ll dive into core ML concepts and learn about the iterative nature of model development. With Python libraries like Scikit-learn, you’ll gain hands-on experience with tools used for real-world applications. Plus, you’ll build a foundation in statistical methods like linear and logistic regression. You’ll explore supervised learning techniques with libraries such as Matplotlib and Pandas, as well as classification methods like decision trees, KNN, and SVM, covering key concepts like the bias-variance tradeoff. The course also covers unsupervised learning, including clustering and dimensionality reduction. With guidance on model evaluation, tuning techniques, and practical projects in Jupyter Notebooks, you’ll gain the Python skills that power your ML journey.

I'm extremely excited with what I have learnt so far. As a newbie in Machine Learning, the exposure gained will serve as the much needed foundation to delve into its application to real life problems.

The course was highly informative and very well presented. It was very easier to follow. Many complicated concepts were clearly explained. It improved my confidence with respect to programming skills.

Finished the course, now have to wait 6 weeks to receive a certificate anyway.

This course makes you use their awful third party application, which was a massive pain to setup due to errors on the IBM website.

The content is lackluster and barely talks about the important details of the algorithms used. The coding portions are essentially copy-paste and you feel like you learn nothing.

The capstone project in wk6 has too much technical problem in NS Labs. Same code that work perfectly in IBM cloud does not work in NS Labs due to compatibility problem. I cannot finish the capstone project in IBM cloud because I have used up all me free hours in IBM cloud. However, the provide notebook has too much problem in NS Labs. Very disappointed!

The course final to use multiple methods to predict loan payoff. No matter what model used, predicting 100% loan payout was more accurate. If the point of the project was to "show how you can't machine learning everything", I would say it succeeded there, but not a very good way to kick start a better understanding of ML applications.

Absolute waste of time. Content is outdated, and clearly not properly maintained. Final projects are based on data that is littered with errors, to include errors in the code written by IBM as an example to the student. I literally can't submit the final project because of an error in the instructors code.

Simply the second worst course I took on coursera (the first on is the upcoming one in this porf certificate course, where the guy records the videos in his car with his potato cellphone).

No clear explanation, one bored instructor shows ppt pages with little to no explanation of math equations.

very poor quality. limited information and explanation. The staff makes us feel like they are not confident enough to answer questions. The only reason for going on is that I already invested a lot of money and time. definitely not recommended. It should be improved.

I didn't like this. There's no one to ask questions. You take the course and leave full of doubts. The forum takes a long time to respond; the work is peer-reviewed. For those who already know it's good, but for those just starting out, I don't recommend

The course could have been broken down further—too much information to learn in a week. Two weeks have around 4 algorithms taught each week and all other weeks have less information. So, in 6 weeks, two weeks are tight and the rest are very loose.

Kindly don't waste your money in this professional certificate. It's of no use. You can get much better courses for just 12.99 on Udemy or you can do other specialization from U of Michigan or JHU. It is total waste of time and money

Horrible class without any real, meaningful instruction. The videos are completely useless and do not help with the suddenly difficult ungraded labs. If you have no background in this field, you'll find yourself completely lost.

It is an awful course, the previous one was much better because it included the mathematical explanation of ML algorithms and the professor was able to make you understand every step.

the course was very poor, it only had basic predict and fit functions, not telling why we use for what exactly, and a very generic high level view of ML algorithms. wasted my money

No me permite realizar ni los laboratorios ni los exámenes, hasta dentro de un mes. No entiendo porque bloquean las actividades de un curso por el que estas pagando una mensualidad

This review is out of this course scope.

I heard it like 1000 times in this course

at least give us details where we can learn all of those out of the course scope information.

Multiple and continuos bug that stop all forward progress. Honeslty kind of shameful that it is both so bad and the admins dont seem to care or be able to fix the issues.

this course does not meet your goal you have to learn coding only in the written format nowhere in this course teach us to do programing of machine learning except lab

PATHETIC , WAY TO EARN MONEY NOTHING ELSE. NO RESPONSIBILITY TO TEACH WHAT IS NEEDED. GIVING ASSIGNMENTS WITH NO BACKUP SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE NEW TO CODING . USELESS

Could not access the labs throughout the course, any query related to this issue posted on the discussion forum was completely ignored by the staff.

The concepts are explained well but the coding explanation is zero which makes it very difficult to understand and implement the code

This module was so complicated - especially the final project - and there was no feedback to help you get it right. Very frustrating.

just awful. The most annoying part is the IBM cloud. Once your trial runs out it is not possible to complete the course....

Out of reach for individuals wanting to do just data analysis. Too much for beginner course.
