About the Course

This is the final course in the IBM Data Science Professional Certificate as well as the Applied Data Science with Python Specialization. This capstone project course will give you the chance to practice the work that data scientists do in real life when working with datasets. In this course you will assume the role of a Data Scientist working for a startup intending to compete with SpaceX, and in the process follow the Data Science methodology involving data collection, data wrangling, exploratory data analysis, data visualization, model development, model evaluation, and reporting your results to stakeholders. You will be tasked with predicting if the first stage of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will land successfully. With the help of your Data Science findings and models, the competing startup you have been hired by can make more informed bids against SpaceX for a rocket launch. In this course, there will not be much new learning, instead you’ll focus on hands-on work to demonstrate and apply what you have learnt in previous courses. By successfully completing this Capstone you will have added a project to your data science and machine learning portfolio to showcase to employers....

It's a great course to get a comprehensive background on Data Science (including ML) and lays the foundation for more advanced courses. It touches on all the areas that are required for data science.

Spent a lot of time getting the used IBM Cloud system components up and running. Partially redundant content (due to course overlap). The effort-to-benefit ratio of this course is questionable.

Very challenging. A lot of the things you have to do in the final project are things you must figure out on your own, since they're not explained in any previous lessons.

A challenging Capstone project with many dimensions. The structure of the previous courses in the certification could have been improved to build up to this project.

This course is about applying what you learn on a free form project.. but you should use Foursquare API which it might be challenging little bit to deal with..

There are some errors in the instructions labs, in forums is the way you can get help, but it it necessary to modify the code in the examples.

The final project is way too over the top for this type of course. I've been asked to do less work in graduate level courses.

Good practical lesson. However the learning curve is too steep compare to the other courses in this certificate.

Great capstone project. But forced to do the same project. It would be better to get more choices of projects.

I didn't like that we had to use Foursquare — I could not come up with anything interesting.
