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.

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!

gives insight into the core concepts of data science but as is a crash course it does not get into the statistical or technical aspect of data science

Great overview! Passing and internalizing are different goals - take the time to read & watch not only the mandatory items but the links to Wired etc.

Good examples and notes. I have learned a lot from this course.

But it is a pitty that I can not get the grade of the test because I don't pay for it.

It is a good overview to know about data science. What I am considering it needs to have what are next steps to help out a beginner in this area.

Good crash course. Not really sure if a certificate is really needed here though, since it's basically an overview/introduction in data science.
