Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

good experience

Very helpful.

The course is very good so as the instructor .

Need basics to be cleared before entering this course

I wasted hours learning outdated code. I read on the course forums that the course is soon to be updated (July 2020?), but the course I did (May-June 2020) was developed in 2016, and quite a bit of the code that was taught was out of date. These courses should be reviewed for currency at least every year, and the failure to do so is reflective of poor quality control and also not the highest regard for students' time. My other criticisms are that the pace of the course was too fast - too much was covered in four weeks - and that the assignments made me rely too much on teaching myself. Some teaching of oneself is fine - we learn how to teach ourselves - but in this course it was just too much. I spent far more time on the course than the course overview suggested. Having said all this, I did learn quite a bit during the course, and Professor Brooks seems like a genuinely nice guy. As well as that, the readings on topics to do with data science were really interesting. So - overall, a frustrating course that teaches a decent amount inefficiently.

Great forum for learning and increase technical knowledge

The lectures could have have been more detailed as learning self might be difficult foe beginners. The Assignments were very good and an active discussion forum helped in solving those.Overall I liked this course

One of the best course on coursera with excellent assignments

Great course.

great instructor
