About the Course

Do you want to know why data science has been labeled the sexiest profession of the 21st century? After taking this course, you will be able to answer this question, understand what data science is and what data scientists do, and learn about career paths in the field. The art of uncovering insights and trends in data has been around since ancient times. The ancient Egyptians used census data to increase efficiency in tax collection and accurately predicted the Nile River's flooding every year. Since then, people have continued to use data to derive insights and predict outcomes. Recently, they have carved out a unique and distinct field for the work they do. This field is data science. In today's world, we use Data Science to find patterns in data and make meaningful, data-driven conclusions and predictions. This course is for everyone and teaches concepts like how data scientists use machine learning and deep learning and how companies apply data science in business. You will meet several data scientists, who will share their insights and experiences in data science. By taking this introductory course, you will begin your journey into this thriving field....

I throughly enjoyed the course and the fact that everything was explained thoroughly. I always enjoyed Dr. White's personal experience with Data Science as well as other Data Scientists point of view.

I learned a lot but that might not be a good indicator as I didn't know much about Data Science in the first place. It just fueled my need to know more about the subject so on my side, it's a winner.

The course provides very good introduction to anyone who want to pursue data science. The videos are in the interview format and it covers almost all questions that someone might have before diving into data science. Overall a good course for the beginner.

This was a good introduction to the field for someone who knows practically nothing about it, yet. Now I feel that I know quite a bit more than I did. On the other hand, my expanded awareness of the field has made me realize how much more I have to learn.

At first, this seems like an irrelevant course however, if you give it a bit of time this becomes a very interesting one. This tells you what is data science with the use of real-life examples. And generate a very strong urge in you to learn data science.

This course is very basic yet quite informative. Some of the videos seemed rather repetitive, but at the end of the course, you'll emerge with a comprehensive understanding of what data science is and what the day to day life of a data scientist is like.

I really enjoyed the online course. I thought it was well planned and layed out, easy for me to follow. The work load(h.w. & test)was just enough, so i could finish everything with enough time, learn about the topics and not feel over loaded and rushed.

It was a good course. The only problem was that there was no Turkish language support. That's why, while I was translating, it happened that I misunderstood some questions and got missing points. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in this field.

Really easy to follow, understand and process. I loved the video interviews because the interviewees were able to bring such great examples, that the "man in the street" can easily grasp what is and how Data Science works.

I greatly enjoyed this course!

This course will let you know about what is data science and who are data scientists. It clear many things for me from where data science is being used to how they use simple data to predict cool things like "is any show will go hit or miss on NetFlix".

Illustrated very nicely and explain each and every area about data science and data scientist. Its gives a in clear picture about the topics. a person, without knowledge of data science, can also understand the basics of Data Science and its importance.

This course gave me a really good understanding of what the data science is about. It did not cover the technical parts but it is not aimed to do so anyway. This course cleared my path about what to learn and what to focus on in my data science pathway
