was very helpful for a novice person like me who only had heard the term data science. The series of lectures, assignments were lucid and makes even a layman to understand what is data science and where and all it can be applied.
Especially loved the explanations from Dr.Murtaza Haider & Prof. Norman White.
Thanks a lot for this course :)

I was taught by the most knowledgeable in the field of data science. There is nothing like seeing someone you want to learn from knowing exactly what he/she is doing. Their teachings made me to dig more into the field of data science as I am currently taking another course. I promise the new people one thing, you will love data science.

I really enjoyed this introduction to Data Science course. It did a pretty good job of explaining what Data Science is by asking that question of many people from different backgrounds and industries with a Data Science title. It also covered many examples on how Data Science has been used and how it is likely to influence the future.

I am just starting my data science journey. Prior to taking this course I had very little knowledge of data science. This course has given me in-depth understanding of data science and am confident henceforth to speak like a data scientist, I can't waiting to dive into the following courses in the data science professional certificate.

Very elaborate course incorporating comprehensive views about Data Science coming from different academics and students. A great platform for starters to learn more about the basic concepts and applications of Data Science. It would be better if it could also introduce simple technical skills such as Python or SQL as a taster exercise.

I think this is a great introduction to data science. It makes a specific point that a data scientist doesn't have to be a maths whiz to start working in data science (I am not one - although I wish I was).
I enjoyed the quizzes which are there to reinforce the elements of the modules. I really like reading everybody's introductions.

This course is very Practical oriented. Instead of just having a normal lecture upon on the course as most of the other courses do, well this is very distinct from all. It makes you understand the real application and use of the subject and make you feel much confident by having an assessment in the end. Loved learning from Coursera!!

Gostei muito do curso. Da um panorama geral sobre o que é ciência de dados, quais suas principais aplicações e quais as habilidades que uma pessoa precisa desenvolver para se tornar um cientista de dados. Além disso, também apresenta o mercado de trabalho nesse setor e o que as empresas esperam desse profissional. Recomendo demais!

Just awesome! From Prof. Haider's experience with Data Science to the videos, loved every bit of it. The course perfectly summarises what Data Science is, the career opportunities in this field and elaborated on what qualities a good Data Scientist should possess. A great course for a beginner to get comfortable with Data Science.

I love the course and the modules were explained very well in the video lectures!
The reading material was very valuable for the aspiring data scientist!
The Pop-up Questions in between or later in the video was very informative.
The final assignment and the Final exam was worth the time and efforts spent learning!
Thank you Coursera

This is a great introductory course in the world of Data Science. You will understand the crux for data science and get introduced to terms used in Data Science and will be able to make a report at the end of this course. I liked the way Prof. Murtaza Haider introduced subtly the terms involved. Its a great course to get started!

Con los videos y lecturas que se incluyen en este curso, la verdad, te permite entender claramente lo que significa ejercer el rol de Data Scientist, resaltando sobretodo las habilidades y conocimientos que se deben tener. Antes de todo esto, estaba un poco confundido con estos términos, ya que en la práctica suelen confundirse.

The course gives a good overview to answer the question "What is data science?" The featured professors are very knowledgable and personable. The quizzes are helpful in assessing your understanding of the material, although I wish they were a little more comprehensive. Overall, I am pleased with the course, and plan to continue.

This is a great course if you are to start with what is Data Science and want to go ahead and do it full time and change careers in near future. Especially its a part of IBM Data Science Professional Certificate that's a great deal within itself.
Thank you Coursera for this course and to help me start on the path of Data Science.

I liked the way the course began. It did not straight away start with coding or probability or statistics or theory about the topic but introduced to quite a lot of people from the industry or with good amount of experience. This helped to gain different views from different people and explain a broader perspective of the topic.

The content was well organized and explained. The guest speakers through their offering a peek into their profession added an additional layer of depth to the overall detail and quality. As a person entirely new to the world of tech related knowledge, this has been a gradual ushering into that space without sacrificing quality.

This course helped me to understand Data Science and its implication in real world. This course laid the foundation of Data science for me, having no background knowledge of what Data science basically is. I appreciate the course organizer IBM skills network and Coursera for educating me on this hot topic of the 21st century.

I find especially the videos extremely stimulating to continue studying data science. The professors make a data scientist sound like Sherlock Holmes who needs to solve another mystery. Collecting facts and using tools to study them and come to a conclusion. My compliments to all who contributed to the creation of this course!
