Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

The courses are phenomenal with a little introduction to the topics and then encouraging the students to explore to do the assignments. Simply magnificient.

Really good introduction to Data Science. Great lectures and really good exercises to enforce what you have learnt. If you are wondering to do this course, and have reservations given the many reviews about the lack of spoon feeding, I would advise to still consider it. For some other courses, which have those kind of reviews, have often been spot on. However, personally, I found the balance to be good in this course. Learning to solve the problems yourself, with the safety net of a great discussion board and grader to tell you if you are right or wrong, you will get there. The approach really allows personal development for problems without either of those two aids. Some have been disparaging about the over dependence on Stackover flow to help finish the exercises. I can see the frustration, but the Fundamentals were taught well, and learning to bridge the gap efficiently using Stack overflow is a large learning.

Excellent course, challenging assignments, the lectures go through material quickly, but they're efficient. This course requires a lot of external research, which is good in my opinion because it's realistic.

This course really gave me a hand on experience to learn data science using python and helped me develop and enhance my skills.

need more relevant topic videos before project/assignment

It's hard but fun!

The course was pretty exhaustive and I felt like I learnt everything that this course intended to teach me. The assignments were pretty tough, given that I had no experience of Python before this, but that's down to me for not taking the "Python for Everyone" course, as recommended by our professor. A few more interactive and intermediate level problems could go a long way in making the course takers better skilled and equipped with Python.

A lot more difficult than PY4E. Really struggled a lot on the assignment, but definitely worth it!

Learned so much in such a short time! I can't believe it. 4 weeks ago, I had no idea what pandas was. Now, I'm merging multiple data sets and cleaning them. Such a great feeling.

Terrible course. Material they teach has nothing to do with what you're evaluated on, so I ended up using google more for the assignments than the actual course material. Expect you to basically already know everything they're teaching, so it's essentially useless. They fly through concepts and barely explain anything, so you end up learning nothing.
