Course content is good but the explanations need to be more elaborate.
Excellent Course for beginners to start learning pandas and get a pretty good hands on experience in it. The course's assignments are really competitive for me who knew little python (not pandas) before undertaking this course. There is a slight sudden change of concept in week 4 that requires a lot of self learning if (like me) you have little knowledge of data analytics or statistics.
Excellent course with learns you the basics of python for data science. Prof. Brooks has a very clear way of explaining things. Some experience with programming in for example R or Matlab comes in handy, especially for the assignments, so I would opt for a more introductory course to Python if you don't have that experience.
I think the assignment checking tool needs improvement. Otherwise it's a decent course.
Though I very much appreciate Dr. Brooks' traits when video lecturing: relaxed, informative, and often lucid-- I worry that students with little to no computer science background will struggle greatly with assignments. That is to say, there is a disparage between the videos and the expectations of the assignments.
Assignments should relate to what is discussed in class, too much of what is in assignments is not clearly explained in the class
The course takes one through essential steps for data science introduction but i feel the assignments look to technical for an introduction and the autograder creates alot of tension.
Solid introduction to pandas.
A great course !!!
