TOP REVIEWS FROM DEVELOPING DATA PRODUCTS
by ROJul 27, 2017
Course content was helpful. Some confusion in assignment questions not aligning with what was covered in lectures where it would have helped to clarify that was intentional.

This course was amazing, it could definetly be more deep in each of the subjects, but gives you so much practice in tools that are very useful in the day by day of a data scientist

Although it is an easy course to pass, it is very important in content. It teaches the finishing moves, the ones you'll need after all your hard work. 5-star without doubt.

This course lacked required information of help to get started. Now thanks to some posts by mentors i was able to successfully complete the Capstone project. Overall a very good experience!
