Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

Great course to start career as a data scientist. Crisp, clear and concise course.

Very good course. Some of the question seemed a bit diffuse and made answers hard to find, which made the estimated time rather far off, hence only four stars. Other than that I enjoyed the lectures and especially the articels that made me think deeper about some topics.

The course instructions are very limited comparing to some of the other Coursera courses I've taken. The video lectures and code examples are extremely high level and general, while the assignments are significantly more challenging than the content demonstrated in the lectures. I spent a significant amount of time reading the Discussion Forum and googling for the right codes to use, rather than actually applying any knowledge learned from the lectures. If I wanted this much self-learning, I wouldn't have taken a Coursera class.

Lectures should be longer witjh more details.

The lectures are too simple. The assignments are difficult. You constantly need to google how-to to be able to complete the assignments because the code/functions are not covered by the lectures. But if you overcome that, the assignments challenge you in a way that you will learn good things about Python.

Great class! Right amount of challenging for someone with some Python (or scripting) background to cover some useful Pandas scenarios. Only critique is the coding challenges would be better if error logs were provided.

good course overall but there needs to be more information on code profiling/optimizing it is really required to pass a part of question 4.

I think that this course is not an introduction course. The assignment were really hard. If there was little assignments after 2-3 min. of video lectures, it would be more informative.

Excellent course. Like to join the next in series.

A hands-on introduction to data science.
