Learner Reviews & Feedback for Data Science in Real Life by Johns Hopkins University
About the Course
Hypotheses were clearly defined prior to analyses. Randomization was performed for the treatment of interest. The analytic plan was outlined
prior to analysis and followed exactly. The conclusions were clear and actionable decisions were obvious. Has that every happened to you? Of
course not. Data analysis in real life is messy. How does one manage a team facing real data analyses? In this one-week course, we contrast
the ideal with what happens in real life. By contrasting the ideal, you will learn key concepts that will help you manage real lif...

A very good and concise course that helps to understand the basics of the Data Science and its applications. The examples are very relevant and helps to understand the topic easily.

Highly educational course on the realities of data analysis. Many good tips for your own analyses as well as for managing others responsible for coherent and accurate analyses.

Too much focus on technicalities - not management based.

The course tests are at times partially unrelated to the content of the lessons. In the test of Lesson 7 we are asked if removing jargon from an analysis makes the analysis clearer. This is never mentioned in the course.
The question does not have a unique yes/no solution. It depends on the context, in particular on the audience of the analysis and report. If I'm talking to technical people who knows a lot about the topic jargon can be useful, on the other hand if jargon is not documented it can be confusing.
How are we supposed to know this?
This is just one example, but all the courses of the EDS specialisation had these issues. I don't know if it is a language barrier or what but I feel that I didn't have a chance to study more to get a better score. You either happen to have the same idea of the teacher or you don't, and this is not professional.

The course content is good, but there were no instructions how to complete the capstone in order to obtain a certifiate. This was really disappointing after completing the course work. Eventually, I just stopped my subscription.

Was expecting soo much more from the entire courses. Not a single practical part, soo much talk and write.
Sorry would not share the course with friends, 190€ is too much for what I have just learned.
