Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

Exercises at the end are way harder than they should be for how little is taught during the actual course. 1 question from each final exercise is more than enough.

The tasks were longer than stated. The emphasis should be more on the skills than on heavy tables. I found the data too complicated. Especially the last assignment makes it very difficult to accomplish the course. There should be more smaller tasks.

The descriptions of the tasks are awful. It's not really clear what to do. In the forum you can see, that many other people have the same problem... The explanations are excellent, and I really enjoyed the course.

This is the worst experience ever The instructor is speaking too fast in a monotunic, and the code he's writing is in too fast pace without caring to give the learner the time to follow up

yup

I'd give this 5 stars but the auto grader is atrocious. Wasted too much time trying to debug instead of trying to learn, and the instructions were never clear, like you could warn me that I need to place all my work inside the function so the auto grader wouldnt freak out, or that I need to delete the raise error once I finish the question Oh well. I learned a lot, but the assignments were hell

nice

First off - Kudos to Yusuf Ertas for all his help and patience getting me through the programming assignments. I really appreciate his willingness to help! I believe a different text book would be helpful. I understand it is optional, however Wes McKinney has created a great reference manual, however he uses too many theoretical examples. I really need real-world, applied examples. He seems to get to into corner cases and shows you 10 different ways to do something, however no clear direction for a new students. I would also like to see the lectures topics more closely reflected in the programming assignments. Maybe additional assignements after each lecture. The student should then be able to pull from the lecture assignements to complete the final programming assignment. Need more direction and guidance on the programming assignments for an Intro course.

good

Amazing Course
