I love the detailing of every aspect of this course. The Labs, the free subscriptions and free trials provided by IBM Skills Network, everything has been so amazing. Thank you Coursera, thank you IBM.

the best course for the beginner who is going to start his data science journey. This course tells you all options like tools, libraries, programming languages, etc. Highly recommended for beginners.

Outdated material that has not been updated...
The first week is mainly memorization with no hands on/interactive items.
The second week gets better, but the instructions are a bit outdated for JupyterLab functions such as the 'insert' tab which is nowhere to be seen. Items of the markdown lab simply don't work, as when it wants you to copy the html code to Jupyterlab the code is actually compiled into a link (hard to explain but basically means you would have to separately look into creating HTML hyperlinks).
The third week is mainly about IBM's own products such as Watson Studio, but the course is obviously outdated in this aspect with items being called different names and payment verifification required to simply creat an IBM cloud account. Sadly for me, any payment method selected was declined and so the process was highly frustrating.
The fourth week peer reviewed project was something that I had originally thought to be a compilation of materials earlier learned that would have to be put together and peer reviewed. It turns out that the peer review project requires skills that have not been covered in any other lesson/lab. Specifically elements of the markdown language like creating bulleted point lists, links, and the like.
I feel like this course should be labeled as intermediate just because it's outdatedness in many aspects would require a person to have moderate experience with tools/troubleshooting in order to get from beginning to end of the course.
Given the cost of this course (40 dollars a month as of the moment), I would not reccomend anyone else take it if they are planning on learning and enjoying the learning process. Instead I would reccomend only those who know how to troubleshoot outdated materials and simply wants a certificate.
For anyone else, although not completely related, I would definitely reccomend you go through free courses with free certificates on Kaggle as it is much more hands on and intiutive, with a much more advanced grading system that makes it not just easy but FUN to learn.
