Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

Very difficult course, very challenging in terms of the validation tool for the homework, but undoubtly I learned very much from it. Thank you !

While the lectures are short, the assignments are quite tough and force you into a series of extremely valuable self-teaching hours. :)

The course is well structured with slightly challenging assignments. It also included some literature and other forms of media that provoking discussion about the philosophy and the future of data science. However, the auto-grader is such a pain... and thus, one minus star.

Perfect

Best course to learn about Introduction of Data Science, a fast paced course, need to have knowledge about Pandas and Numpy before taking this course if not it would be kind of tough to complete.

Course content was generally good although sometimes the lecturer brushes over topics that could do with more explanation. He may explain 10 things you can do in quick succession making it hard to remember all of the points. Exercises were good but there is a big jump on week 3 and 4 and relies on students to spend time themselves searching the web for solutions to the problems. Whilst it is good to be independent, asking for things that haven't been taught in the class can be hard for some.

Enjoyed learning Python for Data Science

'Introduction' is a bit of a misnomer for the course. If you already have even a fairly elementary understanding of analytics/data science, this course adds nothing of value; if you don't have that understanding, you don't really a great intro into what it is. If you already have at least some programming and/or python experience, this course does a good job of showing you the kind of tools Python has specifically for dealing with data; if you don't have any programming experience (especially in python), you may be way out of your depth. The exercises were well designed and were great learning opportunities, but were far more difficult than course materials implied, especially for python beginners. In spite of limited lectured information, the activities helped me get a great appreciation of python, which is the course's saving grace.

Perfect level of difficulty and very comfortable and easy to learn!

It is a very interesting course. Even being an introductive one, it has a high level and a lot of material to learn.
