Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

Amazing intro to Data Science in Python. Plenty of good exercises and explanations to polish your Python skills. I learnt a lot.

Excellent course. It provides hands-on experience.

For an Introduction class, this is way too advanced. the course material are minimal. while this might be for a targeted audience, its fine to keep the videos at this length, but at least add some further readings/videos from other sources. Providing a bit more structured learning is way better than leaving students lost at assignments.

Wow, this was amazing. Learned a lot (mostly thanks to stack overflow) but the course also opened my eyes to all the possibilities available out there and I feel like i'm only scratching the surface!

Overall I have to rate the course sub par, so 2 stars. The lectures seem disconnected from the assignments. If you're not already proficient at Python you'll spend your time on stackoverflow.com looking for ways to solve the questions. The assignments took me a lot longer than scheduled. I did learn a lot by doing the assignments (using stackoverflow). I credit the course with "forcing" me to do the assignments. Sophie (staff) was the saving grace when I really got stuck. Without her I would possibly have thrown in the towel.

this course is horrible. The lecturer go through things so fast without emphasis, let alone highlighting the rationale behind of each things. Totally confused, worst class I have ever took in Coursera

This is a really good course that can help you to get the basic knowledge about the usefulness and power of Python in Data Science. I feel like the videos could have been a little not information and not so rushed. That being said, it is a wonderful course!

The Videos were usually engaging, although the pacing was often too fast, and the video did not always match the words spoken, this was very distracting. The exercises and readings were excellent as they focused on big picture issues and the ethics of data science, which kept the course interesting as data science and coding can tend to be quite dry. The assignments were my favourite part as they were stimulating and often challenging. They really forced you to go back to the course content, and to the pandas documentation to figure things out. All in all a really enjoyable course, which I learnt a lot out of.

Good introduction to Pandas!

Curso interesante para iniciarse en la librería pandas. A veces vas algo perdido pero dedicandole esfuerzo y atención aprendes muchas cosas.
