This was a good introduction to the field of Data Science. Although I am familiar with the domain, the course offered fresh insights, especially from industry experts and newly minted data scientists

I learned a lot but that might not be a good indicator as I didn't know much about Data Science in the first place. It just fueled my need to know more about the subject so on my side, it's a winner.
