This course has given a basic view about data science and tools being used by data scientist. Easily described about AI, Data mining and neural network. I came to know the basic differences between deep learning and machine learning and how they are interrelated with each other.

Course gives fundamental discription of what is data science and who is data scientist. I have learnt about the skills that are need to become a good data scientist. In general, it is great course, that will open your curiosity and interest to learn even further about data science.

Great intro course! It gave me a deeper understanding of what data science is and what data scientist do. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to get into the field and wants a deep understanding of what skills you will develop and how you would contribute to an organization.

This was just an introduction, but you have done an amazing job. I used to enroll in many courses before in different majors on-campus and online, but no one was enjoyable as this one. I have full motivation to keep exploring on this course details and the next sections. Good job.

Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Orah Richard Ojochegbe, I am from Nigeria, my goal is to obtain my MSc and Ph.D. in data science (Especially AI, Big data and Machine learning(Data mining) in your organization. I have completed a course on what is data science? Please update my account

This course help me understand more about the huge role plays by every data scientist out there. Besides the important of having data, collect data and the understanding to extract data can help in grow and scale any business and also helpful in saving lifes by early prediction.

My first course taken on Coursera and implicitly the first Data Science course here. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the materials, the integration with IBM services, the professionalism and kindness of the authors and the philosophy of the entire Coursera ecosystem.

TO KNOW BRIEFLY ABOUT DATA SCIENCE YOU CAN EASILY LEARN AND HAVE BRIEF KNOWLEDGE VERY EASILY...ONE CURIOUS ABOUT HOW VERY LARGE DATA KEPT SAFELY VERY LARGE IN HOSPITAL, INDUSTRIES ETC...BY THE DATA SCIENTIST AND HOW THEY DO..THEY CAN JOIN THIS COURSE

ALL THE BEST

THANKYOU COURSERA

The course was truly beneficial and useful. It was informative and well-prepared for those interested in data science and looking to develop their careers in this field. I can say it was a comprehensive course. They addressed each topic without leaving many questions unanswered.

This introductory course, "What is Data Science?", is highly explanatory and well delivered by industry experts. It gave me a full glimpse of what data science is. It is highly preparatory for those who want to dig deeper into the world of Data Science. I heartily recommend it.

The title of the course really interprets what the entire course will teach you. Very informative, even though I am myself going for masters' didn't knew a lot that they covered in this series of lectures.

You will surely change your field if not in the same after watching this!!

A really great course, and an adequate amount of work/quizzes. It says about 3 weeks long of a course you can finish most of it in 1 full week of work. Which is perfect for someone like me, where on the weekends after work I can gain some huge progress and not feel so far behind

Excellent introductory course for beginners. If you don't have a clear idea of what Data Science is or what Data Scientists do, this is the course for you. Testimonies from several people teach you why is Data Science important and what has been / can be done with data science.

I really like this course. I have learned a lot from this course. It's really helping me. I learned, basic concept of data science and the various activities of a data scientist’s job, and methodology to think and work like a data scientist. Personally, I recommend this course!

Is quite scary to say the least to jump in to something named: Data Science, specially when you don't come from a Data or a STEM way of life. After finishing this course I have to say that I just want to keep learning to get my certificate because I'm sure I can make it happen.

La ciencia de datos es un campo académico interdisciplinario que utiliza estadística, computación científica, métodos, procesos, algoritmos y sistemas científicos para obtener, tratar, analizar y presentar informes a partir de datos ruidosos, estructurados y no estructurados.

The course was very informative. Now I have a clear image of what is data science and how it's being applied in a large variety of industries. Moreover, I learned what specifications are required for being a data scientist at a specific field and process of being hired.

Thanks

For someone who does not have much of a clue, this course was an eye opener.

Dr. Murtaza Haider has explained Data Science very simply and effectively through his videos.

Any one who wants to understand what is Data Science at a preliminary level, this is absolutely recommended.

The course was a great introduction to data science. I wanted to study data science but I didn't know which skills I need to be a data scientist. This course made it real clear to how to become a data scientist, why to become one, and what it takes to become a data scientist.

This course does a very thorough job at giving an overview of Data Science and what Data Scientist do. However, I would've liked for it to have delved a little more into how the rest of the certificate course is structured and what to expect; class contents, assignments, etc.

I get an idea about the data science field. Also, I get an idea about the basic responsibility of the data scientist. I'm not a data scientist and not having statistical background but I bit confident after pursue this course I will start my career with data science. Thanks.

This course helped me lot by clarifying all the basics of data science such as its scope, necessity, the prerequisites to become a data scientist, how different industries use data science to improve their performance, what are the components of data science and a lot more.

Very well done. Gave me some insight as to what Data Science is. I think anyone looking into Data Science should check out this course. It'll give you some background as to what Data Science is and help you with the decision of whether you want to dive into the field or not.

It's highly helpful for me to know about Data Science career field.I'm deeply passionate about learning Data Science and the quiz they ask is really helpful in getting knowledge about this field.Hoping to complete my certification soon with enriched knowledge in Data Science

An excellent introductory course, however the exercises seemed to be based almost entirely on the specific context of the reading material, I think the ratio of questions which are generic to data science should be more and would be more helpful in retaining what we learnt.
