This course was very poorly thought out with an abhorrent final assignment. The forum was filled with classmates trying to figure out how to get things to work, and help from the instructors was copy/paste and not very useful. Many people will drop the certificate here I'm sure. Would not recommend.

This is the only course in the series I had trouble with the labs in - to the point that it significantly impacted my ability to even learn through troubleshooting my mistakes. I also don't understand how there is an optional assignment that is required to pass the course. That's not optional.

WORST EXPERIENCE IN EACH COURSE NO WATSON ACCOUNT CREATION , IN FORUMS IF ONE RAISES PROBLEM. LIKE A ROBOT THEY KEEP ON GIVING SENSELESS ADVICE TO CREATE NEW ACCOUNT ON IBM WEN THEY THEMSELVES KNOW FEATURE CODE CANNOT BE USED ON 2ND ACCOUNT. A BIG MISTAKE I CHOSE THIS COURSE

Labs mostly didn't work. And complex topics were 'explained' in videos that were 3-4 mins long. Basically have to spend a lot of time researching tutorials and videos online. This is the 8th of the 9 course series I've completed, and it was the worst of the lot.

There needs to be a better way to submit coursework - the mess of having to screenshot and try to fit in all graphs was more laborious than the actual work of the course. A sentiment shared by MANY other people taking the course based on the discussion boards.

This is by far the worst course in the whole specialization. The final assignment has many syntax errors, still stuck with it after two days, and the video materials don't cover enough to understand the problematic and solution of the final assignment.

This is the worst course of IBM Data Scientist professional certificatge. Especially if you compare it to other IBM courses. There was a lot of typos, quizz questions were not clearly worded. I had a really bad experience going through that course.

What a bad ending to a beautiful story. The assignment was just a party pooper. I enjoyed every topic of the course, but for me to spend hours solving syntax took away all the excitement. Very disappointed with how the assignment was structured.

This course is a mess! The final project is broken and nearly impossible to complete if you are in any way beginner level. All the suggestions from staff so far haven't helped either, which is beyond frustrating. Waste of time and money!

The course material is outdated. I could have watched a 30 min Youtube video and learned more. The final assignment and the peer reviews are a waste of time. Really, you make me fix html tags and then look at screenshots?

Just a very disjointed course. Final project at the end is awful. Difficult to grade your peers. Difficult to understand what is being asked. Seems like the course was put together if a couple hours.

This course quizzes you on things no one cares about such as 'Artist Layer' which has no relevance in calling a function. Folium library was the only cool thing about this module. Glad it's done!

This was a monsterous let-down as a class. I already know how to GOOLE things. I am paying $50.00 USD/ month to be TAUGHT some things. Not spoken AT, and then tested on things that aren't taught.

The labs and quizzes are locked, it says it will open when it is scheduled, but all the students are waiting eagerly for it to open. The lecturers don't respond to the forum comments...

great course but they lock your quizes and assignments and tell you

" This item will be unlocked when the schedule opens"

absolutely terrible technical management by coursera

Lab errors, too much grading, ID verification that doesn't. If you're trying to convince me not to pay for IBM or Coursera courses you have certainly succeeded.

The last two weeks and final assignments are the worst among all the courses in the specialization. Final submission is almost stupid and of high school level

i can write reviews for the coursers. The website works well for this but I cannot download my certificate after completion. This is such a cheating website.

This course is broken, not able to access the assignments and the problem statement for the peer graded assignment is not stated properly.

Good course until the peer reviewed assignment, which doesn't work and will drive you to craziness trying to find a way to get to work

Horrible, learning that dash was the worst thing ever. Kept crashing on me and whatnot, then the external labs would not load for me.

Worst and most frustrating final assignment you can imagine. Nonsense to fill out a pre-given code full of errors. No help available.

POOR labs. Labs do not teach/match lectures. Slow response to problems too. I've taken 9 courses on Coursera and this is the worse.

Sinceramente, esperava mais. A dinâmica do curso como a didática são péssimas. Gaste seu dinheiro com um livro que é melhor.

final assignment extremely hard, you cannot finish it without searching on Google.......

For newer, not recommend at all.....
