The modules under data Scientist are not in sequence. In course DS0101EN under labs, there are Jupyter notebook is frequently used.
However description about using DSWB tools are given very later point of time under DS0105EN.
If we first give the introduction about DSWB tools, it will easier for new students to use Labs.

The course is too passive for the learner. I don't have to do anything other than answer quiz questions. Even the labs have all the answers typed out. Is this intentional?

... so that we can proudly tell the world (with a nice BDU logo) where we've learnt Data Science and Big Data!

Hi,

Just finished Graded Review Questions of Python 101 / Module 2 - Python Data Structures I.
Found that these questions are not covered by what's discussed in the module.
No sure if this is designed purposely.

In my personal opinion, it would be good that those questions are related and can be used as a review of what's learnt.

Thanks and regards,
Matt

My general observation is on the voice overs reading the script., It sounds too mechanical, a subject matter expert when teaching will modulate concepts better, in a way students can remember by remembering their voice or dynamics. The voice that is reading the transcripts lacks dynamics and the human element. Its too mechanical. Can be improved for better.

The sound quality and speed of speech is really bad. I am from the UK and I have found this really difficult to understand. I wasn't able to make out half of what was actually being said.

It is so disappointing to see the use of bad English grammar on your site as it degrades your message. It doesn't matter whether you have 'copied' someone's blog or written it yourself. Bad grammar does not further any learning - it stops it.

On the video "Data Science Hands on with Open source Tools - Creating an account" the captions do not line up with the audio. The transcript contains the text:
To change your profile settings, toggle the account button on the bottom left corner. Change your settings and click Save.
This does not occur in the audio of the video.

The buttons on your mobile webpage are not displayed correctly. They don't adjust to the screen size and thus are too long.

Please provide more lab exercises for practicing

When we are executing MapReduce JOB; I suggest you to automatically launch Application Master URL providing recommendations on how many containers can optimize current job.
Kindly let me know, if more details are required.

I was uanble to access free courses on this protal. I have already logged my concern but still facing the same.

When I run this part :
from future import absoluteimport
from future import division
from future import printfunction

import time

import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf

from tensorflow.models.rnn.ptb import reader

they said : ImportError: No module named 'tensorflow.rnn'

How to solve it ?

For the review questions , rather than having a 'check -reset-final check', I think it will be more intuitive and computationally more efficient to have a conditional submission. I.E In the first attempt If a check results in a correct answer, the submission should auto-lock it self. That way you will not have to reset and then again perform a final check because we have already got the answer in the first attempt.
