Good for pointing you towards free open source tools to practice developing in for both Python and R. Also has a nice introduction of how to use some basic feature of these tools.
Wesley v W –
Videos are out of data and the navigation is different from video to new software
Luanna E K –
A bit boring, but necessary. I think there could be more graded exercises instead of ungraded experiments. To make it more challenging.

The contents need to be updated
Fedrizzi E –
Material seems outdated, and poorly informative. Too many topics are just mentioned without details, which is frustrating: I got the feeling that to have a minimal real understanding of the subject I had to do a lot of personal research outside of the course.
Joseph E –
THis is a worse course here, I can’t move forward! No Support we can go with…. including Coursera

Much of this was 5–star worthy, but a new video is desperately needed, as it does not match up with the current Watson environment and creates a lot of unnecessary confusion.
Nathan E –
It was nice to get an overview of the tools, but I found the labs very simple. There didn’t seem to be any important tasks to complete.
Julia M –
I think that this course needs to be re–engineered. The videos are outdated and the videos jump right into the programming without explaining why you are typing out this code. It is not a course for beginners.
Zacky E P –
NIice

excellent course.!!
Ayush K –
loved this course. this was quite an good experince
Gavin P –
Not good. Bugs. Discrepancies between material and tools. Probably needs to be updated. I might drop this track and go to another set of courses because this course is fundamental to the other 7 in this track, and IBM tools are not widely enough used to warrant spending a lot of time learning a track that is IBM tool specific.
Arun P –
Its a very good informative course for different types of open source data science tool.
Maxim M S –
Thank you very much for the excellent presentation of the material and the available intellectual tasks.
Muhammad L –

Good to start with the basics about the open source tools which are ready to use for exploring the data science field.
ThanhCj –
Please update videos base on new updated of Wastion Studio
Alexis R –
The source tools demonstrated in this course have been updated and changed. The user must visit the forums to get more current information not provided by the course materials.
SHUBHAM K –
This course introduces the learner to the open source tools for Data Science in a very efficient manner. It describes the usefulness of different open source tools and at the same time provides hands on experience with them. There will be graded quiz sessions about each open source tool and it really helps to get the concepts clear. At the last, we have to write a Jupyter notebook and share it with our peers. We have been really guided very well to create our shareable notebook. Thanks for this course.
Abel F –
Good starting point for data science
Ross T –
A great overview of the key open source tools out there I’ve used RStudio and Jupyterlab in the past so was expecting these, Zeppelin was a pleasant surprise.

It would be helpful to update the videos, please.
Mingshu L –
too basic… and it’s really weird that I have to submit so many times for quiz until it feels less of a learning experience but more of a bug experience
Stephen M –
I enjoyed this course. The opportunity to work with Zeppelin notebooks, R, and Watson studio was great! The only small stumbling block was the old videos on Watson Studio. But you know about that and I’m sure you are actively working on it. Thank you.
Vasanthaenian S –
A good introduction to various Notebooks & easy to use
Erik P –
You need links and updated screens to got with IBM Watson Studio.
Harsh S –
Nice course for learning the basics of open source tools required in the data science field.
Grzegorz K –
The material is chaotic, it’s more tutorial and ad for three presented platforms than an independent course presenting available tools
Michel R –
Interesting course that will introduce with the existing data science platforms.
Tsholofelo S –
Good course, some of the tools are outdated though
Aarushi S –
I appreciate the efforts that were put together in the course, and I have had very good experience with IBM courses in the past. However, was a bit disappointed with this one. The videos for IBM Watson Lab were outdated, which resulted in a lot of wastage of time to submit the final assignment*. Also, it does not make sense for students to compulsory learn IBM software and use it for assignments. Basically had to learn an extra software which we did not even sign up for. As part of IBM professional certificate, I think it was a bit redundant and can easily be made part of a Python beginner or Data Science beginner course. *Faculty were helpful to point this out and point a step by step procedure for the updated version. But this was in the discussion section, and also immediately makes having watched the videos completely futile.
Ajoy K M –
Great course
Andy G –
Only issue we ran into is that there have been some URL and naming updates that aren’t reflected in the training yet. Such as DSX is now call Watson Studio. The data science work bench also does not include Rstudio at the time of me writing this. I believe they are in the process of an update that is why the link to RStudio did not work.
Igor L –
Great introductory course to free open source tools when working with Data
Jose C V M –
Thank you for this opportunity, it was 10/10
Gabriel D V –
It was a good course, but could be condensed and more the point.
Veretennikova Y –
This is a great course, very detailed and interesting.
Agalakov S A –
This course is pretty good but there are a lot of stuff that is not releveant anymore/outdated. For example Data Science Experience doesnt exist anymore and it was quite challenging to follow the videos when you dont have the same interface as shown in video.
Sergio R H –
Introductory and easy
Ravi S –
Every thing is excellent just some videos are outdated like in week 2 there is skill lab in which there is no RStudio in march 2020 but videos shows to complete Rstudio practical. except this this is very good course.
Dmitry B –
I appriciated the course in general. Nevertheless, for me the main issue was that the video lectures concerning watson are outdated. The information provided does not correspond to the real platform
James O S –
This course is seriously broken. The last section of the course requires you to use cloud.ibm.com, but the applications referenced have been significantly changed, and do not work as described. Until this is significantly revised, this course cannot be completed.
Benjamin S –
The platforms are not ready. Instructions are outdated. Just familiarized with possible platforms, didn’t learn anything useful.
GREGORY M –
Loved the practical exercises and information. Hands on in the notebooks in a few different environment gave me confidence to try out other things on my own. Thanks.
chamath p s d s –
great course
Facundo H –
Amazing course!
Ravi S –
Every thing is excellent just some videos are outdated like in week 2 there is skill lab in which there is no RStudio in march 2020 but videos shows to complete Rstudio practical. except this this is very good course.
Iordanis C –
inaccurate walk through the tools there are no supervisors able to check if the peer to peer grading is correct or not
Oliver E A B –
Is good to get to know the tools, but you do not acquire actual skills.
Roberta B –
The course is good but it would be great if the nomenclature of the cloud based applications would match the current version of the toolkit!
Dragoljub R –
I’ve been able to learn basics in data science software. It was a nice experience and an introduction to something I am looking for to learn. I would recommend to all without prior experience, though those who have already worked with those tools this course won’t mean too much.
Apurva R –
Though the interface in the videos were little outdated, the IBM professionals are working on it to make it better. The style of teaching is incredible. Extremely responsive team. Thanks for giving us a chance to learn.
Yelena K –
There was a problem with the connection to R lab, never fixed. Also, some tutorials are outdated. These are the negative parts and why I give four stars. Other than that I like the course so far.

Md T A –
Gives overview of tools required and how to use them.
Farooq Y –
I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical before starting this course. However, the more I get into it, the more I realise why this course alone teaches you more than hours and hours of youtube videos. Props to the course creators. It is very interactive and fun.
Gage S –
Some of the material wasn’t up to date. However, it was still easy to figure everything out
