My personal recommendation is Harvard's CS109 - created by Statistics Professor (and Quora Top Writer!) Joe Blitzstein and Computer Science Professor Hanspeter Pfister.
The most helpful part of the class for me was the consistent practice with data manipulation in Python - there are few classes that drill in you this so thoroughly. The class also introduces you to some classic problems in data science, such as restaurant recommendations, sentiment analysis in movie ratings, election predictions, and network visualization.
It's not on any MOOC - but all of the resources are available online. I link to all of the resources in CS109 at William Chen's answer to How do I learn data mining? Is this Harvard course cs109 still valid with recent developments?.
