Data Science and Machine Learning: Making Data-Driven Decisions Reviews

“Data Science and Machine Learning: Making Data-Driven Decisions” provided by “Great Learning” and “MIT-IDSS” is a journey in itself. It is an incredible experience of ten weeks with honest and disciplined learning. I have done many online programs during the last two years, but I genuinely agreed with the fact that this program is different in itself. The program material, level of quizzes, project work all were designed considering one’s learning speed, workload, and capacity to achieve. The best part was that I learned Python programming during the pre-course work, which helped me to understand data visualization techniques and their applications in building Machine Learning (ML) models. We learners also got a chance to connect with other enthusiastic people across the globe during the mentor sessions of the program. It was indeed a great practice knowing how people are evolving themselves in the world of data science. Thanks to wonderful mentors, who provided generous support throughout the program. I must insist on people taking this program and have faith in “Great Learning”. If you are looking for magic to happen in your thinking towards data science and ML then this course is best to accomplish! Please go ahead and enroll yourself without any doubt :-) 

The course is structured in such a way that a learner comes across each concept several times. A learner first sees the pre-recorded videos from each module from MIT professors. Then they go through additional reading materials. By this time, a learner already has a good grasp of the newly learned concept before attending the live private mentor learning session. Here the mentor goes through the concepts once more in-depth and clears the doubts. Another optional mentor learning session takes place where the mentor explains a real live project and how that is solved. Then finally, another round of study of the quiz.I can not remember any time of my life before, where I learned so so much in a short period of time. If anyone likes to get holds on the machine learning topic very fast and effectively, this is the right place. This course is expensive but totally worth it.

There are courses and then there is DSML by Great Learning/MIT. This one is guaranteed to exceed your expectations from the scope of content covered, the depth of content in every week, and hands-on coding, the theory covered by MIT professors, support from actual data-scientists and always supported by great Program Managers. The course instructors are always available to go into depth on any topic of your choice and cover the details from their experiences. It was fun to dig into code again after many years. This course is better than reading 10 fluffy books, blogs on various DSML topics or other off-the-shelf courses. Mind you, it is intense, not at all easy, and lasts 3 months long - Looking forward to be done after this weekend!
