Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

This course did not provide the quality intermediate content that I was expecting. The lectures present material at a lower level with instructions to read elsewhere for further information. The lecturer is clearly versed in the topic but did not invest a lot of time in designing this course. The problem set gave me a chance to implement what I learned elsewhere but it was also frustrating dealing with the autograder. Also I felt like a lot of time was invested in unnecessary tasks like digging through an 80pg document to find the column name of the metric I needed to use to solve a homework problem. I can respect that this is how things go in real life but I took the class to learn intermediate python techniques for data analysis... The only reason I am giving this course 2 stars is becuase the mentors and helpers are motivated and quick to help when people post questions.

Great course!

Great intro for newbies. Recommend to do zour own project with this course + try to solve it and after some hickups go for inspiration. This is the best way to learn :)

Assignments seem to be problematic for many users.

This is the last time I waste my time on Coursera. This class was especially bad, but its also so full of bugs and glitches you seem to have no compunction wasting my time either. I want to use stronger language, but I am not a troll. I was a studious, paying customer for many courses on this site. I've earned number specializations, but overall, I cannot believe I am saying this, but Coursera in general - and this class in particular - is not worth $50 a month. I can get the same information from Youtube for free. And those folks respond to comments and questions in a morel timely and respectful manner than Coursera ever.

Practical course at a fast pace. In order to pass the assignements, you have to go deeper into the subject matter yourself. The assignments are really difficult.

good one

It's really nice to learn pandas in this courses. Every assignment is full of challenge for me.

Nice

This course gave me a good understanding on how to manage data with Python!
