Course Description
"Data Science is the sexiest job of the 21st century - It has exciting work and incredible pay". You have been hearing about this a lot. You try to get more information on this and start querying and browsing. You get so many definitions, requirements, predictions, opinions and recommendations. At the end, you are perplexed. And you ask - "What exactly is this field all about? Is it a good career option for me?"
**** Please note: This is a career advice course, not a technology course.
Data Science has been growing exponentially in the last 5 years. It is also a hybrid field that requires multiple skills and training. We have been training students in Data Science. A number of them committed to training without realizing what it really is. Some were happy, some adjusted their expectations and some regretted committing too soon. We felt that professionals thinking of getting into Data Science needed a primer in what this field is all about. Hence, we came up with this course.
Through this course, you will learn about
- Data Science goals and concepts
- Process Flow
- Roles and Responsibilities
- Where you will fit in to a Data Science team.
- Building a transition plan
Getting into the Data Science field involves significant investment of time. Learn about the field in order to make an informed decision.

This course provided an excellent overview of being a Data Scientist. I found it to be very informative and instrumental in making the decision to move forward with this career change.

I got to know . What you need to study to become Data Scientist. But the course is very dry. He is just reading the text makes to sleepy while listening.

This is a very good intro course for someone who doesn't know a thing about data science and would like to know what is it about. The instructor has many years of experience on the field and he will show you what data science his, what different softwares, skills and people work in Data Science and also how to get started in this field of the future. I recommend everyone interested in learning more about Big Data with this intro course.

The course delivers what it is meant to deliver which is spelt out in the course content. Aptly segregated into sequential lectures. The transcript needs proof reading as it seems to have been converted from speech to text and hence has many many errors. Summing up - a very useful course!

Good starting point to get an overall idea of what Data Science is and to decide whether to start or not a professional path in that direction. It's brief and direct, but slides could be visually more attractive to make it easier to follow and improve engagement. (Data science also needs to meet sales/marketing science ;))

I have already started in this journey... This course gave me the insights into the various roles that make up Data Science. It is overwhelming to learn everything that involves Data Science and have work experience in it too. Phew! I plan to have the knowlegebase but will focus on one area of Data Science. That is my takeaway from this course! A great course, Thank you!!!

Great course to learn what the field of Data Science is about, what a career in DS can look like. Great overview of the phases of a projet in DS, the skills required to be part of a DS Team, and the various roles in a DS team. I like the pace of the instructor (slow haha it`s good for me!). Although he has an accent, it is easy to understand. The amount of details provided is sufficient in my opinion for the goals of this course. Thank you!

Kumaran Sir has explained the data science and career paths in a very well written and expressed format, for people looking for careers in DS. This is one of the excellent videos on Udemy, I'd look forward to see such intro videos for all diverse audiences looking to opportunity to broaden their skills.
