    Learning Experience: This course helped me to learn about the intricacies of data analytics and cleared my concepts about data mining, data visualization, data lakes, warehouse, and I also learned about how to gather, wrangle, clean, analyze, and mine data. I was able to understand the job role progression from an associate-level data analyst to a Principle data analyst and Data Scientist. This course is the 1st course of the series of 9 courses offered by IBM for learning Data Analytics.
    Faculty: This course is a lot of lectures and quizzes with just one hands-on assignment. This makes sense because the purpose of the course was to give an overview of data analytics, The concept of having assignments is fine but casting all care and assessment of a student's performance on these submissions to other students' peer reviews as the only means of grading and scoring student's work is a dereliction of duty and responsibility on the part of the instructors.Concepts have been wonderfully presented with examples on every topic and viewpoints by Industry experts and professionals are included at the end of every concept to give better insights on its relevance and importance.

By MD R Sep 17, 2021 The skills and tools taught are interesting and useful, and it's rewarding to build your own project within the guiding structure of the course, requiring considerable time just to divine what was being asked for. Support from the teaching staff in the forums seemed inconsistent, with many questions receiving unhelpful responses and some simply ignored. Of course, struggling with the material pushes you to develop a deeper understanding of it, and the open-endlessness is good practice for real-world problems. Interface and easy-to-learn course materials provided!!
    Course Support: Great course to gain an overview of the Data professional domain and various opportunities in it. Starts from the very basic of what the role of a Data Analyst is and goes in reasonable depths of the various roles and responsibilities of being a Data Analyst. Concepts have been wonderfully presented with examples on every topic and viewpoints by Industry experts and professionals are included at the end of every concept to give better insights on its relevance and importance.
