Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

The course was amazing but it seems to have become outdated. Firstly, some of the codes that worked perfectly on my personal Jupyter did not function correctly on Coursera's Jupyter portal. Also, some discussions in the forum gave some answer hints that were outdated. On Week 4's assignment last question, i.e. the t-test one, I wasted hours trying to get the pvalue 0.0027xxx which was hinted in the discussion forums by a teaching assistant. However, once I submitted my assignment with a different pvalue, I realized my answer had been correct all this time. Nevertheless, above doesn't undermine the fact that the lectures were amazing and coursework was designed appropriately.

This is a good course. It is challenging yet fun. Instructors are very helpful for the assignments. I believe I learned a lot from this course.

Good class and the topics covered are great. Challenging and useful. The lectures are a little light on detailed information and some text or deeper/more detailed lectures would make this perfect. You will spend a lot of time looking for things to support what you learn to really get an understanding.

According to me this course will be not good for beginners , i m not telling for who is absolute beginners in programming world but it is also difficult for who just completed the python from scratch and enter into in this course.The instructor was too fast (i know that we can reduced the video speed, so don't suggest that).here i m not able to point out whole thing.

Excellent course content. Specially i would like to thank University of Michigan and the Instructor for framing the course so well.

awesome..

nice experience

On the one hand, this course is stuck in 2016. Even the assignments' tools are dated. In fact, if you are working offline and you want to make sure your results match the grader, you'd better create a virtual environment with Pandas v0.19.2. There isn't that much activity on the discussion forum. Nevertheless you can see there is always someone answering to students' questions. There are quite a few questions related to getting a better understanding of what the assignment expects. There are also some bugs the grader keeps showing since 2016. It's also a very dense course, with a lot of information. For some videos, I had to spend a lot of time going through every single concept shared and do my own research. On the other hand, I felt challenged to complete the assignments and, due to the fact the lectures only give you the basics to start investigating, I ended up learning a lot going through online resources (i.e. mainly Stack Overflow). Even though it's been hard, I feel like I've learned a lot. I think Coursera should force courses' providers to either updating their material or making visible when it was last updated and, especially when it comes to using tools, which version of such tools should be used.

Very useful, compact, interesting tasks that corresponds with the real tasks I had in my real work

I would give 4.5. one of the best course in coursera. the trainer was awesome.
