Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

This course is good and elaborative and the exercises are also challenging

Thank you very much and learn a lot !!!

After having done quite a few other courses from UMICH (mostly taught by prof. Charles), I had high expectations from this one. I must sadly say I am extremely dissapointed. 1) The course itself doesn't teach anything. The videos basically say: "Here's pandas. It has functions. Good luck". If you want to learn what to do, you are encouraged and have to search it online, because such materials are not provided in the course. In my opinion it cannot be called a course, if all it does it says "Hey, there exists this thing called Python and Pandas. If you want to learn about it, go do it somewhere else. You're welcome! " A responsible course would provided well strucured materials for students to study. Videos showing a proff. reading off slides are not particularly useful. 2) Assignments are messy and it seems not much thought has been put into them. Whilst I do like the challenge itself, spending 3 hours figuring out why the autograder gave me no points is completely useless and frustrating: you get no feedback, no hints, no nothing. Eventually you may be able to find some hints on the forum, but seriously....those 3 hours could be way better spent on some actual materials, rather then trying to figure out a formatting issue. I could go into more detail, but you get the idea. I was really excited about this specialization, but I will not continue with it. Again - I've nothing against a challenge - so a more difficult curricula - but I cannot work with a completely lack of curricula and structure , as well as materials.

Outstanding Course! I have learnt a lot from here

A little difficult for a beginner to follow but the course was good.

i really loved this course...it helped me strengthen my knowledge in python and helped me in revising them. thank you coursera and the professors

amazing class

Very good !

Great Learning experience

Assignments design so to require a lot of self study. But really worth it. It doesnt cover all the basic features of pandas but give you a very good view on what the library is capble of.
