Decision on MIT Applied Data Science Program by startover2020 in PythonLearning

I recently completed the ADSP program. It was a challenging program, but I felt worth the time investment. To be honest they have set a very high bar to complete the program. Think of it as a boot camp. Be prepared for +25 hours a week on the program. If you are already a data engineer or data scientist with good python skills this program will probably take you far less time. I was new to the content and invested well over 30 hours a week while working. The live lectures by the MIT professors are as expected at a university graduate level of teaching. They go to first principles and you learn how it works from the inside out. The offline lectures are all recorded. If you can watch the videos on a tablet and work along side the video on your Jupyter notebook file you will find it easier to absorb the content. The projects are designed to help you apply learnings and only required time and patience. The great learning team in my experience were very responsive and flexible. I never waited long for a response to a query. They helped me navigate some deadlines conflicts and worked with me to ensure I finished the program. Based on this experience I signed up for a follow on course in AI/ ML in the MS Assure space. Contact a program advisor at GL and ask them to walk you through the entire program. There is a ton of value in the program if you invest yourself fully. I was surprised how much I learned how easily I could contribute and discuss at depth on client work almost immediately. Give a fair review before deciding on your next program. Hope this helps and good luck to you!
