I liked you concise why of presenting the enssential, without geeting into too much BS. This topic does give avenues for a lot of BS, unless you are focussed and desciplined to check off the right items and move on. You did a good job. Cheers!

The courses have enriched me in understanding the data science. The courses provided simple explanation through videos and writing which enables me to much better understand.

I will continue to the next level of the courses

Thank you coursera.

This is a great introduction to what data science is, including who does it, what they use to do it, and the necessary components of the job. The videos and readings are easily digestible while still furthering knowledge on the subject matter.

This is a fantastic beginning in data science, as this course will provide you the introduction of data science and get to know why and how you will learn this skill in this changing world. From here the path to become a data scientist begin.

Data Science course is really motivational and inspiring. During the course we feel very much excited about learning the new terms and concepts. Also great interaction with the various speakers and their particular field knowledge. Thank you.

a good course to start with. it keeps on tossing different terms time and again to let you know what it would be like in the following modules yet the presenter keeps things simple at the same time, not to over emphasize on technical details.

While data scientists often come from many different educational and work experience backgrounds, most should be strong in, or in an ideal case be experts in four fundamental areas. In no particular order of priority or importance, these are:

Great course for beginners in Data Science. It tries to establish the foundation of data science in an individual. It is theoretical and helps one understand what will be the role/contributions if he/she chooses Data Science as a Career path.

Thank you so much for IBM course team for taking the time to create this great resource. The high-quality production, the hands-on projects and real-world examples makes the learning environment very interactive to becoming a data scientist.

As mentioned in the title "What is Data Science?" .. I find it a great introductory course on getting started with Data Science. It helped me a lot understanding the basics of Data Science. Excited to learn more from the upcoming courses....

The course was perfectly informative for beginners. However, during the couse I expected that learn more technical details related to topic but it was all about the definitions of term. The assignments could include more technical questions.

Thank you to IBM and courseera for the opportunity to participate in the course. I have learnt so much about Data science and how data scientist use data to solve real world problems. I will definitely recommend this course to my colleagues.

this course is from scratch level, if you dont know anything then dont worry this is from beginning. you dont need to prerequiste knowledge to do this course and best part of this course is it provides verified digital badge. that is awesome

Defines data science in the broadest terms as well as includes definitions by professional data scientists. In this course you will have an overall understanding of what a data scientist does, and what skills a good data scientist possesses.

I enjoyed the introduction. Listen to the opinions of people that deal with Data Science every day is really interesting to understand how the tools available in the Data Science pool are used according to the professional's characteristics.

Coursera is really a very wonderful platform for learning. Teaching approach are top notch. I have just completed my first course on Data science and I have been awarded my certificate. All thanks to coursera and IBM for this opportunity.

Data science é um conceito moderno e por isso questões como a sua definiçaõ e aplicabilidade geram muita confusão para quem está iniciar, este curso ensina tudo oque um potencial cientista de dados precisa saber para iniciar a sua carreira.

Excellent the introduction of the topics and explanations are so understandable and clear and the quiz,readings are also focuses on the main elements of the topics and worth reading and additional gaining our work by certificate. Thank you.

Excellent quality content! It's a great course to get started in Data Science .the speakers were awesome ,they made the course really interesting. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is curious in learning about Data Science

Information was shown in a way that was interesting and easy to understand. I feel like I have a much better understanding of what data science is and what a data scientist does as well as a general idea of what I need to do to become one.

This course is insightful, especially for beginners. It gives you in-depth information about what you should know about data science, what you need to obtain in order to learn about data science, and what you should look for in the future.

Well written course with useful information to deploy within any Data Science role. This is a great introudctory course to Data Science. This course gives users the ability to deploy tools & strategies to further their hands on knowledge.

I found this course to be an excellent informative introduction to Data Science. The format was good - there was a good blend of videos, reading material, and quizzes. And the relevant talks from various data scientists were interesting.

I really enjoyed the course. The videos and reading materials were very interesting. To further my learning, I purchased the instructor's book. I will be recommending this course to other colleagues who have an interest in data science.

This Course is not at all what you are thinking it to be. This is just an introduction to what data science actually is. I never thought it to be so thorough. It is an essential course to take if you are planning to go for a certification.
