The program exceeded my expectations, from the curriculum to job support. I now feel confident in performing detailed exploratory data analysis and developing high-performance machine learning predictive models. The relevant business cases and mentoring... Read More sessions provided clarity and objectivity in understanding how data science can effectively support business decisions. I highly recommend this course to any professional looking to leverage data to grow their business and advance their career.

This course is ideal for beginners with no prior coding experience, as it starts from the basics and builds up from there. It includes numerous real-time projects to help you see how the concepts you learn are applied in practice. Most importantly, the... Read More support from the project manager and mentors is exceptional.

Pros
- Flexible schedule for online sessions.
- Great examples are provided and are easy to follow.
Cons
- I think it is a lot of material to cover in such a short timeframe.
- It would have been great to have students try to develop the algorithms on their... Read More own, before using predefined libraries. This would help in the undertanding of the algorithms internals.

Suggestion
- In my opinion, certain sections of Ensemble Tuning (which talks about Hyperparameter tuning) should be discusses at the beginning of the course.

Pro’s: I’ve had a great learning experience! I initially struggled and did not have the confidence that I could successfully complete my projects. I soon found out how valuable the mentoring piece of the program was when Joseph stepped in to help me get... Read More over my doubts. I was thankful for his encouragement. After my meeting with him, I discovered that I could actually connect my learning with producing meaningful content in my projects and I soon found out that all my doubt went away. My learning increased and I was fully engaged in the process. The videos were valuable and the in person mentored sessions were very helpful in gathering a better understanding of the material.
Con’s: Not many! I would say that I wish there were more time to absorb the content and really dive into each topic. Having a busy schedule and personal challenges made it difficult to do this.

The course has quality video instruction from exceptional instructors. The coursework is also very challenging and requires a time commitment and a level of self-reliance that I was not sure I could do after the first few weeks, especially while also... Read More working full-time. My advisor, Joseph, was very kind and encouraging and helped me early on to frame my struggle as part of the journey, which is what I needed to hear. I am not only doing well and learning a lot, I also have become more focused and disciplined about difficult tasks which has spilled over to my approach at work.

This course is a very good introductory course, but continued practice will be required because you are introduced to new concepts and exercises each week that you don't have enough time to put in to practice before the next concepts are introduced. This course will give you a realistic view of data science and practice using Python. Curriculum can sometimes seem disconnected from video to project to live sessions, but overall the course will provide a solid basic understanding of data science and business analytics.

I selected this online program due to the university's strong ranking, reputation, and comprehensive curriculum. What truly stands out is the exceptional support system, including live program management and weekly mentoring sessions. My mentor, Paolo,... Read More has been invaluable in guiding me through projects, and my Project Manager, Kanchan has consistently provided encouragement and timely technical support and any other assistance I may need. This level of assistance exceeds my expectations for an online course. Additionally, the inclusion of an AI mentor specific for each project is a great feature.

The program is rigorous and fast-paced, but it is packed with valuable information. While challenging, the intensity adds to its worth. I prefer the accelerated pace, which allows me to review content as needed rather than extending the program’s duration. Despite the challenges, I have found the experience rewarding and enjoyable, and I have no regrets about enrolling. I am confident that it will prove invaluable in my future endeavors.

I am attending the UT data science program ! I found it challenging but incredibly rewarding. The instructors were knowledgeable, and the hands-on projects helped solidify my skills. This program has gave me tools to advance in my data science career.... Read More Highly recommended.

I started this course just to learn computer programming and ended up receiving a great breath of knowledge in Data Science as well!
