Course Description

"A picture is worth a thousand words". We are all familiar with this expression. It especially applies when trying to explain the insight obtained from the analysis of increasingly large datasets. Data visualization plays an essential role in the representation of both small and large-scale data.One of the key skills of a data scientist is the ability to tell a compelling story, visualizing data and findings in an approachable and stimulating way. Learning how to leverage a software tool to visualize data will also enable you to extract information, better understand the data, and make more effective decisions.The main goal of this Data Visualization with Python course is to teach you how to take data that at first glance has little meaning and present that data in a form that makes sense to people. Various techniques have been developed for presenting data visually but in this course, we will be using several data visualization libraries in Python, namely Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Folium.LIMITED TIME OFFER: Subscription is only $39 USD per month for access to graded materials and a certificate.

good labs

By Shadi A on 14-Nov-19

content was great, so much of new knowledge was introduced. Labs were challenging and just awesome.

By Shrestha m on 13-Nov-19

This is by far the least helpful course in the IBM Data Science Professional Certificate series. The videos contain mostly repeated info, so you really only learn much of anything from the labs. But even the labs are very basic compared to what you are expected to do for the final project. If I am paying for a course to teach me something, I shouldn't be teaching myself with help from Google. I can do that on my own, for free. If the "help" offered by the teaching assistant in the forum is code that doesn't look even vaguely familiar right after going through the course, doing all the labs, and getting a 100% on every quiz, then there is a big problem. I would absolutely not recommend this course

The caption is very hard to save as a note sentence by sentence. They always crunch as a whole.

By Francisco V on 7-Nov-19

The final assignment requires self-research (not included in the course material) to fully complete the required items. The course shall cover all that the assignment requires, at least touch a bit.

More content and examples

By Carlos V on 6-Nov-19

It is worth doing this course. Thank u IBM and Coursera and Specially the tutors.

By Michael L on 5-Nov-19

Overall a good review over the different graphs, yet the course feels wonky in the flow of this courses covering stuff already studied and staying on surface.

By Victor V d A on 5-Nov-19

The best and the most challenging part of this course is the assignment of week 3.

By CMC on 4-Nov-19

Excellent class. The instructor Alex Aklson uses a very methodical approach when introducing each topic. It was very refreshing to see that the coursework did not have errors which makes it difficult to learn,

By James S on 2-Nov-19

The course is great. Covered all most all the aspects. Little suggestion. Please force the students to add the notebook url for the final submission. That could help to preserve the integrity of the course. Thanks.

Great learning curve for matplotlib and the challenge in final assignment is excellent for beginner.
