Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

The submission of last assignment is troubsome due to system design. Takes time to solve it. But it gave me a lesson how should I write robust codes

assignments quite challenging , way more time needed than the est. times given by coursera. happy I could finish it. on to the next course !

Great Course. Knowledgeable

excellent

It is very well structured, but it could be better. The lecture went in a very fast phase.

super cool

Poorly worded questions (that are mentioned throughout the discussion board), older version of pandas and the course resources don't help you with course. Get ready to 'learn' by looking in StackOverflow or reading the volumes upon volumes of python/pandas documentation. In other words, expect to spend 15 hours a week per week (obviously it will vary)

This course is not conducive to learning, but rather to getting results. I understand that in the "real world" programmers would simply search the web for questions. This is because they need to produce results for their companies. We, as students, need to learn. We are not taking the course to learn what it is like to be a programmer, but rather to understand how the programs work and how to improve our thinking skills. This course taught me how to navigate Stack Overflow and other online resources for Pandas. I was pretty diligent about trying to understand what I was doing, but it definitely wasn't a requirement for the course. That is my problem: one could sneak by in this course without even understanding a thing. They could simply copy and paste code from the internet , tweak, hit submit and repeat until they have a 100%. Just a small example, in the last question we do not have to interpret our results in any way whatsoever, just get results. This is not learning. The assignments are good and the TAs are helpful. They should be getting paid. The fact that we need so much help to complete the assignments should raise a red flag.

Good intro to using pandas and going through datasets!

Learned a lot of new stuff, specially Pandas is cool, thanks!
