Capstone did provide a true test of Data Analytics skills. Its like a being left alone in a jungle to survive for a month. Either you succumb to nature or come out alive with a smile and confidence.

Self pace and with a lot examples and discussion forum support

Thanks.

The course allows you to gain some interesting experience in text mining. If you're into this thing, you can do really nice coursework

Great course to finish Specialization!

This course is great. I strongly recommend take this specialization, this was very useful for my work.

Excelent course!

This course significantly challenged my skills in programming, probability, machine learning and applied mathematics (eg Katz's backoff theory-equations). The collaboration in the discussion forums and the information on-line is absolutely critical and is the only way you can succeed in this project. I appreciate all the help from my classmates and from those who took the time to post helpful information on-line.

This indeed a course that gave us the opportunity to show we can learn new topics and methods by ourselves after reaching the specialization to this point.

Hands on experience with real data. Very well framed and executed project layout.

Great final test!

Really nice proyect to recap on everything you learned!

Nice capstone project. It leaves a lot of room for experimentation!

Excellent course and project!

good

My name is Jose Antonio. I am looking for a new Data Scientist career (https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseantonio11)

I did this specialization to get new knowledge about Data Science and better understand the technology and your practical applications.

The course was excellent and the classes well taught by teachers.

Congratulations to Coursera team and Instructors.

Thanks!

The best part is the surprise of something totally new like NLP and the fact that you have to figure it out by yourself and then apply the theory. Guess what... just like real live.

Great course - so happy that I completed it!

It has been a great experience. There is a big problem though, in the way the final project is being evaluated. Way too subjective questions, providing non definite grades.

Very Interesting and practical

Appreciate for your efforts

nice course, and the project task is a quite interesting one

Awesome experience having to learn something on the fly with little direction -- just like the real world!

Capstone very challenging. Minimal instructions force the students to do a lot of research on the subject. But this is extremely rewarding. Doing is good job is possible (well, my grade is still pending at the time of this comment!) and makes students take a huge leap forward in data exploration, data cleaning, setting up a strategy for analysis and algorithm, make an Rpresentation, create an online app (by the way, I also created an small app for my company thanks to this training, especially the "Developing Data Product" course).

Very good course. I benefited a lot from the capstone project, learned more insights on data science techniques from the capstone project.
