Just teaches you to go through the motions. No real understanding.

not very detailed course and proper knowledge is not imparted

It way to Basic. Industry demands of more depth knowledge

explanation is clear but need to upgrade to solve papers

Too many technical problems. I was always flustrated...

I wish they can provide slides for users to download.

Training of Python with examples should be added.

Robotic voiceover makes learning uninteresting.

Course content good. Final project is a sham

The optional projects dont work!

Big Bummer

Final exam instructions are not clear

IBM's courses are always a let down.

No me quiere llegar la insignia

very introductory level course.

unable to get my cirttficate

Not all it's made out to be.

No cert or badge received.

NO DETAILED EXPLANATION

Very vague course.

Too superficial

normal

good

Very frustrating - students are required to use IBM proprietary products which are inconsistent in their results and even running - the exact same code will run in one notebook but not another. The instructions for the final test are incredibly unclear in what is expected. Their sample code they give to grade the final test DOES NOT run. IF you can finally get it to run it doesn't produce the same results as they require to pass the test. The peer grading is awful - I got both a 0 and a 100 which netted a 50 (fail) twice. The zero was even though I had all requirements met (which even if the results were wrong should have yielded partial credit) and the student gave no feedback yet there is no way to ask for a new grader. I've done several courses via this certificate. 1 - the IBM Watson studio requirement needs to go. It's awful in every way and has turned me off to using Python. How can I use a product in my job that every time I run the same code it gives me different results or just won't run? 2 - the peer grading needs a way to have a request to have it re-reviewed by someone else (I resubmitted with a full summary of my results at the bottom and the same person gave me a zero again). I only stuck through and finished the course because it is required to get the certificate.

For me this has been very disappointing, I really wanted to give this course and all the other courses in the IBM Data Science catalog a chance.

However I have not been able to get the answers I need to continue to learn from this course, the only way to get any real answers to questions that one might have is to make a post on the course forum and responses can take a very long time sometimes 3 days or more and considering the thousands of posted questions on the forum many can often go unanswered!

The only other way to really find answers is to do an online search, which I have found gives very generic answers to very specific issues, neither alternative has been helpful!

To give credit to the course, it may not be an issue with the course itself but rather the platform.

Either way I am still left disappointed and stuck and don't think I can continue to learn so long as my problems go unresolved!

I am really disappointed, the course is basically a really introductory course aimed for someone who doesn't know any math or programming. Not a single comment on the maths, or the algorithms of Machine Learning, only a really superficial description of the existing algorithms (a description of what are they for, nothing about how they really work).

And Python is just an anecdotic theme, only examples of notebooks on how to do a specific thing (most of the times without explaining much) and the final project is simply copy and paste the notebooks together.
