Simple, and made for people that needs to understand the general context quickly
Angel R –
Exceptional content, and great video presentations…even for a seasoned data scientist.
Sheetal K –
Simple and easy to comprehend, interactive and well paced
Eric F –
Pretty thorough for an overview, and it touched upon most concepts that you’d need to approach Data Science in any meaningful capacity. My only gripe is with the literal last quiz, wherein no questions were asked based upon the materials, but upon additional PDFs attached to the quiz itself. You cannot link me 4 PDFs and then claim it’s a 4 minute quiz.
Pallav K –
It’s a good course when you have a beginner level experience in data science.

The course was very enlightening. Very well structured and examples very straight forward and easy to understand. The only thing I would suggest, and I suspect this is more of a Coursera thing rather than from the course itself, is that when you are following along with the transcript in a lecture, the video window becomes unworkably small. If there was a better split between text and window, that would help immensely.

Great job!

Boring and useless course…..
Hemal S –
An excellent course for someone just starting out their career in Data Science or are an aspiring data science enthusiasts. The technical terms are easy to understand and presented in such a way that it provides good understanding of Data Science and it is applied in various industries to for business benefit

The course was fantastically done. I only noticed that the video player would sometimes end the video early and that I would miss some of the pertinent information for the quizzes.

The course gives a good general understanding of Data Science and to understand some of the tools and techniques used to acquire data, analyzing data and to answer questions to determine if the data acquired is beneficial.

Great experience learning
Vishal S –
A LITTLE TOO THEORETICAL. THE INSTRUCTORS SEEM CHALLENGED TO PRESENT REAL LIFE EXAMPLES. Quoting favorite examples from historical pure play ideas (e.g. predicting heights of boys) are frankly a bit dated, not relevant for a business audience, and hint at real life incompetence of instructors. And what is with trying to promote books these guys have written?
Zachary S –
Very helpful to learn as a beginner

Very well explained!

The presenters talked so quickly I had to watch the videos 4 or 5 times to catch everything. Other than that, great into to the topic.
William G M –
Good overview
Marc–Eric L –
It was very good. I am not a DS but have been exposed to their work. I would like to debate whether Hadoop is the best place to do the work today, but the point made still stands. The one thing that made me put a 4* instead of 5: I don’t see how it is “executive” yet.
Alexander Z –
Short, sweet and up to the point Free eBook is included great! Completed the course in 1 hour.

some question is quite hard to understand

The course was very basic for me.
Scott Y –
Good course with the right level of detail to get your feet on the ground with data science. As an executive learning the Data Science field later in my career I found it to be challenging enough and relevant to my work.
Rupali A –
Enjoyed the pace at which the course moved. Teachers were qualified and relevant. Video Production quality could be better, some of the presentation graph were illegible thus the lack of 1 star.
Avijeet K –
really an amazing course for beginners as wells as intermediate data science students.
Gloria L –
Excellent introduction. I look forward to the following courses and checking out some of the suggested reading.

Great introductory course.

Interesting course and good learning. However for me some of the video lectures were a little bit unstructured and difficult to follow.
DIMITRIOS R M –
Thanks folks! This was a fun course to do. Although I had a reasonable idea about the topics covered, it did a good job consolidating everything into something that is applicable to
Gaurav D –
This was an excellent introduction to data science although early exposure to data science and technology trends helped me understand it better. This weeks course helped me clear some of the basic concepts that I wasn’t aware of.

Quick overview, great for better undestanding your data science team and explaining your collegues how can we use data science to make better decisions.
Samuel C –
Great course to have a quick overview of data science
Victor M –
Otimo conteudo. As questoes poderiam ser mais elaboradas. Ou ate mesmo criar mais questoes de fixacao. Acredito que se o aluno tiver varios exercicios ele conseguira assimilar mais o material.
Patrick S L –
More of a lean back course. Missing case studies.

Good overview of data science field with some meaningful and well Illustrated
Edem N –
The course, though fascinating, the only setback is the certification does not approve the learner being taught from JHU or certification being authentic which is per the information it conveys. No incentive therefore continuing with it.
