Going Beyond Superficial: Data Science MOOCs with Substance by Matthew Mayo via @kdnuggets

 Data science MOOCs are superficial. At least, a lot of them are. What are your options when looking for something more substantive?

This points you at four Data Science courses that are available via MOOCs that look substantial and well worth doing as well as you can in order to gain good skills that will be useful to you going forward. As with all MOOCs, there are free paths as well as paid ones that provide you with a certificate and a capstone. I would recommend doing the paid-for option if you can as it will be cheaper than taking a proper course at a University.
