The instructions no longer match the applications and a lot of time is wasted trying to figure out what to do. There are literally hundreds of forum entries complaining about this.

I enjoyed the course and think its really useful to understand the tools ahead of the core training, however the visuals and the hands-on are not in sync particularly so in Week 3

The course was okay. I learned about a few new data science tools. However, I only gave three stars because I felt like the lessons and assignments could have been more in-depth.

Professionally prepared course with nothing but fancy tech names. The only useful assignment was the jupyter + github, so 2 stars for being professional and 1 more for the that.

The content could be updated for the current IBM Watson Studio user interface.

It was difficult to follow the instructor .

Also SPSS Modeler tutorial there was no way to practice

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.

IBM Watson Studio was forced-fed to learners. I was very happy happy with open tools from Cognitive Labs (Jupyter Notebooks, Apache Zeppelin) and should have stuck with these.

The overall content was fine; however, the videos were sadly out of date and it was very difficult to set up an account and create a Jupyter notebook following the directions.

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.

Concepts are though very prefunctory. Especially R and github section is very hard to understand, it just confuse you more, I think these parts shouldn't be thought that way

The course was more focused on listing various tools and a brief on them and with not zero experience and knowledge on data science jargons, made this course less effective.

I felt like some of the information on tests was never covered. Same is true for some modules. Overall, learned tips though. The cheat sheet for coding is extremely helpful.

Despite it helping better understand what are the tools used in data science and how I can use the, the speaker's voice felt so robotic that made it harder for me to focus.

Typical marketing course :))), unless you are aiming for a professional certificate, I don't recommend this course at all, cause you learn nothing besides IBM software :)))

Very basic. You learn what tools exist but not really how to use them. Also, too much emphasis on Watson, even though I understand that IBM wants to promote their product.

Not very organized course, a lot of stuff plugged in a module and because of that frustrating to learn. On the positive side, I like module 2 on Git and Jupyter notebooks.

I liked the course, a good overview. Unfortunately, I had such a hard time with the last task: not because of its difficulty, but technicalities using IBM Watson Studio.

I think this module should have more reading material. because there are too many technical terms which are just explained in a hurry which makes ti difficult to grasp.

The data platform's name and handling has changed, which makes it more difficult to create the accounts and follow the instructions. The instructions should be renewed.

There are some videos which are not updated and IBM Watson doesn't really work as described in scripts and videos. Project parts completely missing for some settings.

It is a course for very beginner to know what kind of tools that they may need to use for data science. And it is also an advertisement of IBM for their data service.

I am ready to have more hands on experience, the overview of IBM products seems much to long. I would rather learn about the products doing more hands on exercises.

The Watson studio training was poor and dated. The Watson interface was poorly constructed and not intuitive or user friendly. I prefer Pycharm and Rstudio to Watson

It was difficult to get Watson Studio working initially. Faced many issues. And created almost 3 different accounts to get it working. Lost 3 days of time in that.

The DSX video is very out-dated, I was pretty confused and frustrated while trying to follow the video guides. The R-studio map function was pretty cool though.
