thanks. this is a good resource :) I've explored most of these courses on Coursera over the last year before finally deciding to go to grad school. For me, the biggest factor was motivation (in terms of actually doing the assignments and projects), networking, and getting internship opportunities. However, I still am using the coursera lectures as a supplement to my courses and it helps a lot.

Regardless of any path you take, these are very exciting times to be in computing sciences. All the best to everyone and keep upgrading your skills and knowledge :)

I haven't been excited about my career in a while but I am getting more and more excited about data science. I have a new desire to learn and to actually finish my masters degree.

Thanks for putting these resources together.

that's kinda awkward, but something is wrong with my monitor when I'm on that website.

for the first course Intro to Data Science, the only access you will have are the videos. You can't see other resources like homeworks and other stuff. What to do about this?

The assignments are, in fact, available: https://class.coursera.org/datasci-001/assignment

You'll be required to login is all.

I'm logged in but get "Looks like you are not enrolled in this course!".
