Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

excellent

Too quick

Wonderful course to get started with Python's data manipulation and analysis libraries. The assignments in the course are really good to think and bring practice to improve your skills.

I think the pace of this course started out alright, but by Week 3, the assignment really turns it up to a new level. Similar for Week 4's assignment, even though there is barely any material covered in Week4. Almost seems like they rushed through half the course, essentially. It's nice that the Jupyter notebooks for the lectures are prepared with commentary, but it can get dull watching a lecture video which is essentially the instructor reading the notebook (and typing it out at the speaking pace). Unfortunately, while I learned a few things, I definitely still don't feel very well versed in the Python topics covered. Mostly I have lists of functions/methods in some libraries/classes to reference, with some idea of how to use them. But I would not feel confident working on a Python assignment yet, even if it was intended to only require Pandas, NumPy (and maybe a little RegEx).

This is my first course on coursera. Great thanks

Las asignaciones duraron mucho más de las 3 horas estipuladas

Buen curso para acabar de apuntalar los conocimientos en Pandas y lectura de datos. Hace falta un conocimiento previo de dicha librería. La introducción de Regex es de vital importancia para este curso. No le doy 5 estrellas porque hay muchos momentos donde se tira demasiado de Google para acabar las tareas.

learned a lot of things that helped me and the instructor was amazing and made everything clear

This course is greate i learned lot of from there and also it gives me great coding experience

This was a good introduction to Pandas. I would recommend knowing the basics of Python before trying -- I had never used Python before and found it challenging at first. The only thing I didn't like was that some of the assignment instructions were ambiguous, and it took longer to get the answers in a format that would be accepted by the autograder than it did to complete the assigned tasks. So I felt that wasted a lot of my time. However, the instructors were very good about answering questions in the discussion forums, so when I got really stuck I could get help. I learned a lot of very useful skills, especially for data cleaning. Thank you!
