Great introductory course to show DS enthusiasts the multitude of available tools. Part of every solution is picking the right tool for the job, therefore this course is important to pay attention to!

the best course for the beginner who is going to start his data science journey. This course tells you all options like tools, libraries, programming languages, etc. Highly recommended for beginners.

If this course exemplifies how IBM does business, I do not wonder, if they would go out of business soon.
If you are interested in Data Science and Data Analytics, but just starting out, the Google Certificate Program on Coursera is a better fit for you! The actual insights into Data Science as a Science here is quite low compared to the length of the course. You can see that the course was designed by someone who is a Data Science practitioner but has no idea how to conceptualize an online-learning-format...
The content of this course, in part, is quite interesting. However, it is by no means a beginner-course and gives you hours and hours of highly software-specific content which, if you do not use or need the software which is featured, does not add any value to your path!
The graded tasks made it unbearable for me to follow the Course. They require you to access third-party websites where you have to manually login, create an account, verify it at least 3 times (with your credit-card as well, which did not work for me, so I was unable to continue, if I wanted to have the certification at the end)... Please review your strategy.

It was a lot of overview. I honestly felt like I only learned definitions and what IBM tools look like and didn't get to dive into any real projects or examples. I was very disappointed in the limited opportunities to do anything real with the hands-on projects. They were too simple, like how to create a Jupyter Notebook, or play around with nodes. When I tried to code alongside some of the instructors on the optional GitHub sections, I didn't have access to their repositories or data, so I couldn't really do anything. In other videos the programmer completely skipped over important steps as if we had used the product before, or failed to provide any context so we didn't know what the goal was - so it was just some random exercise that barely made sense and wasn't much help to me for applying it to other real world situations. I don't feel anymore prepared to use these tools, and I got a 100% on every project and exam. I was expecting a whole lot more. I hope the next courses are better and I actually get to learn how to do something worthwhile.
