TOP REVIEWS FROM TOOLS FOR DATA SCIENCE
by SSJul 19, 2020
Good content, excellent delivery. Week1 had too much of information at once. I was left with little motivation after week-1. All the other weeks were good. Exercises were engaging and very useful.

To the contrast of other reviews, I find the content very well bifurcated and fed to the learners. The course very easily digestable and I have had a great amount of fun learning it.. Go for it!!!!

I love the detailing of every aspect of this course. The Labs, the free subscriptions and free trials provided by IBM Skills Network, everything has been so amazing. Thank you Coursera, thank you IBM.

It's a good introductory course to know all the open-source tools available for data science. However, it will not teach you how to code for these tools apart from introducing a few basic lines.
