    While not bad to get a basic idea of what Data Science is, the content is not suitable for people who want to get into the topic seriously. Way too vague, no deep information and knowledge is given.

    As others mentioned, this topic could be far more concise instead of drawn out into 5 hours of videos. A lot of unneccessary fluff, and structured almost in a way as in away to make it seems there is more being offered than there is. The ridiculous amount of quiz questions was also another component that was unnecessary. My biggest complaint those, was the Instructors odd cadence, inflection, and tone. Made it extremely difficult to listen. At times I chose to mute and read subtitles.
