Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

This course really helped me learn the basics of pandas.

Great course!

Awesome!

i find this to be a great follow up from the Python for Everyone course. The course introduces python functions which are commonly used in data analysis and the course assignments are practical and useful.

Good introduction to pandas/numpy. Requires some programming knowledge. Overall I would have liked more guidance during the videos or through course materials, assignments require a lot of self learning (mostly searching through pandas documentation and stack overflow). However the discussion forums are helpful and the assignments are very well designed to guide the student through learning the basics of data science.

The Course is well designed for intermediates and level of assignments is also good!

The difference between exercises and lectures is too big. You end up researching elsewhere more than just follow the course. Exercises being graded is a challenge > installed grader version is different (older) than the note book. This led to the point that my exercises weren't graded due to exception because I used a more recent feature of Python Libraries Week 4 programming assignment was a challenge: To pass the final question you need to figure out the previous questions as well, other wise you do not get the right answer. In case you got it wrong it is near impossible to figure out the root cause (because the grader doesn't give you elaborate clues where you might correct things). You do not get enough side information on your own so as to solve any issues on your own. The content covered in the specialization would exactly be the things I'd want to learn, but the learning experience was full of bumps ...probably I won't follow up on the next courses of this specialization. I heartily recommend an overhaul of this course, giving learners some more background by more explanation & providing more consistent information to master programming exercises. On the positive side: Staff was helpful for a couple of open questions,. Even as the learning experience wasn't as good as anticipated I learned quite some Python stuff due to the contents of the course.

DIFFICULT FÖR ME BUT REALLY GOOD

Chapter 2 and 3 are good for me, the rest chapters are too simple.
