Is really hard to summarize the potential of Data Science and being clear, but I think that the instructors have done their best, so that we can achieve the most from the Course.

Great Job!

This is a great starter course for data science. My learning assessment is usually how well I can teach it to someone else. I know I have a better understanding now, than I did when I started.

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.

It's too short, I think it should be a part of a course and not a course itself.

It is a repetition of concepts and examples from other courses by john hopkins univ.

I struggled thru. Barely. This is no joke. Course description should state that minimum knowledge should have some statistic background or something like that.

It would be great if slides were prepared and used through out the videos....

I was looking for something a little but more technical...

This course is very sparse on details, and just a week of content. The lecturer is not the best at explaining concepts.

Very basic, for absolute beginners/ managers completely new to data (let alone data science)
