I think this is a great introduction to data science. It makes a specific point that a data scientist doesn't have to be a maths whiz to start working in data science (I am not one - although I wish I was).

I enjoyed the quizzes which are there to reinforce the elements of the modules. I really like reading everybody's introductions.

This course is very Practical oriented. Instead of just having a normal lecture upon on the course as most of the other courses do, well this is very distinct from all. It makes you understand the real application and use of the subject and make you feel much confident by having an assessment in the end. Loved learning from Coursera!!

i really enjoyed studying this course as it exposes me to what Data science is about and what is expected of an aspiring data scientist. i was also learned that a data scientist who is curious have a high chance of succeeding in this field and im really curious about data and loves playing with it! ❤️😅😅 overall its great course !

This course will be very helpful for beginner persons , whose are try to learn from basic to pro. I have learn lot of things including data visualization, prediction , mathematic , statistics ,and many of other related with data science. So I will highly recommend go through this course and enhance knowledge about data science.

Really Nice course. I am from computer science background and i got some ideas about data science. But, this course really flourish my knowledge and thoughts. The videos are really informative with perfect duration. This course really in courage me to be curious and and passionate for solving my data science problem. Thank you :).

Gostei muito do curso. Da um panorama geral sobre o que é ciência de dados, quais suas principais aplicações e quais as habilidades que uma pessoa precisa desenvolver para se tornar um cientista de dados. Além disso, também apresenta o mercado de trabalho nesse setor e o que as empresas esperam desse profissional. Recomendo demais!

Just awesome! From Prof. Haider's experience with Data Science to the videos, loved every bit of it. The course perfectly summarises what Data Science is, the career opportunities in this field and elaborated on what qualities a good Data Scientist should possess. A great course for a beginner to get comfortable with Data Science.

I love the course and the modules were explained very well in the video lectures!

The reading material was very valuable for the aspiring data scientist!

The Pop-up Questions in between or later in the video was very informative.

The final assignment and the Final exam was worth the time and efforts spent learning!

Thank you Coursera

This is a great introductory course in the world of Data Science. You will understand the crux for data science and get introduced to terms used in Data Science and will be able to make a report at the end of this course. I liked the way Prof. Murtaza Haider introduced subtly the terms involved. Its a great course to get started!

Con los videos y lecturas que se incluyen en este curso, la verdad, te permite entender claramente lo que significa ejercer el rol de Data Scientist, resaltando sobretodo las habilidades y conocimientos que se deben tener. Antes de todo esto, estaba un poco confundido con estos términos, ya que en la práctica suelen confundirse.

The course gives a good overview to answer the question "What is data science?" The featured professors are very knowledgable and personable. The quizzes are helpful in assessing your understanding of the material, although I wish they were a little more comprehensive. Overall, I am pleased with the course, and plan to continue.

This is a great course if you are to start with what is Data Science and want to go ahead and do it full time and change careers in near future. Especially its a part of IBM Data Science Professional Certificate that's a great deal within itself.

Thank you Coursera for this course and to help me start on the path of Data Science.

I liked the way the course began. It did not straight away start with coding or probability or statistics or theory about the topic but introduced to quite a lot of people from the industry or with good amount of experience. This helped to gain different views from different people and explain a broader perspective of the topic.

The content was well organized and explained. The guest speakers through their offering a peek into their profession added an additional layer of depth to the overall detail and quality. As a person entirely new to the world of tech related knowledge, this has been a gradual ushering into that space without sacrificing quality.

Data Science is an interdisciplinary field that combines statistics, mathematics, and computer science to extract meaningful insights and knowledge from data. It involves collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data to solve complex problems, make informed decisions, and drive innovation across various industries.

thnaks for IBM

This course helped me to understand Data Science and its implication in real world. This course laid the foundation of Data science for me, having no background knowledge of what Data science basically is. I appreciate the course organizer IBM skills network and Coursera for educating me on this hot topic of the 21st century.

I really enjoy this course.The way of explain each concept with real time examples .Before i have a doubt on what are the data science application and where can we use the data science.Now i have a basic idea about that.Thanks for providing free courses with valuable and understandable information.Once again thanks to Coursera.

I find especially the videos extremely stimulating to continue studying data science. The professors make a data scientist sound like Sherlock Holmes who needs to solve another mystery. Collecting facts and using tools to study them and come to a conclusion. My compliments to all who contributed to the creation of this course!

Good afternoon!

The course is very interesting and informative. Introduces students to a science like data science. They talk in detail and fascinatingly about the prospects of this area, the necessary competencies. In general, it is recommended for viewing even for people who understand what this direction is. It will be fun!

The course through the videos and interaction with people working in different domains provides a great insight into the field of data science. The methodology of teaching is amazing and the experts talking about their take on data science is exceptional. A must do course for all those wanting to gain insight into this field..

Before started this course i had so many doubts about data science but now i have enough idea or knowledge and clear concept about basic of data science and the way they taught me is speechless and the platform is good enough. So, the overall course is great right from the lactures to quizes and exams.

The course offered me a transparency on what I should be expecting as a Data Science aspirant. It gave me a lot of reasons to be excited about the field and as a fresher in this field I find the course to be highly motivating and encouraging. Also, I loved the way in which data scientists shared their first-hand experiences.

I really enjoyed the course! However I think the questions in the final exam do not tests some of the critical facts to be known about Data Science adequately. Rather than testing the number of Data Scientists shortfall for example tests the knowledge of the 5 V's or the actual process steps of Data Mining. Just a thought.

This was a very enlightening course that touched on the core of data science and gave practical descriptions and discussions on the various aspects of Data Science.

Listening to Data Scientists and Professors in Data Science speak gave insight into the applicable aspect of Data Science.

I will definitely recommend this course.

This course enabled me to understand how data science is important to companies/organizations to make informed strategical decisions. Data science enables companies/organizations to use these decisions to gain/maintain their competitive advantage against competitors and to navigate through ever changing business environments
