Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

I would highly recommend this course for beginners who wants to get into core Data Science field. The course familiarizes participants on how to handle data including wrangling, cleaning and manipulation using pandas and numpy modules. The contents are well organized.

Primary instructor is very good and very clear. Although I feel that in the MOOC format he could have spent more time going through the mechanisms going on underneath (even if you don’t need it to complete the problem sets). However the lectures from the assistant are poor - he seems to speak without explaining anything. Major issue is the problem sets themselves. Some of the questions are really poorly written (and I think in some cases wrong). For example in week 4 I spent longer trying to debug a question (that I got right) than I spent on the whole week put together; the answer being something that wasn’t explicitly asked for in the question. If you’ take the course read the forums... there are dozens of posts from students (and teaching assistants) complaingin about the questions.

Great introduction but a bit vague at points

This course teaches some useful techniques, but suffers greatly in it's ability to teach you those things. The hw's do not contain enough information, and submission errors are very vague in terms of explaining what is actually wrong. During lectures, too much time is spent on the presenters face. They have presentation slides and code examples that do not get enough video time. It is not at all useful to talk about techniques without giving any textual info about it. It's not easy to follow

The course is going pretty fast through the most important libraries. Make sure you understand python and statistics.

Nice

A really good course on Data science with right

The assignments are not even close what is being taught. We are taking this course so we get everything in one place. Curriculum has to be improved

This course is really great. It helped me a lot in learning Data Science from the beginning using Python. I am really happy to get such a good level of guidance from the mentors of this course.

good but Statistical analysis part should be more explanatory with examples
