Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

Great introduction to doing data science in Python with Pandas. Combined with the later courses in the specialization (the next one is Applied Plotting, Charting, & Data Representation in Python), you will have a strong command of Pandas.

That is good course for starting learning data science in Python. It really helps to understand the basics of using of Panda etc. I recommend this.

The videos are to-the-point and there is a lot of great exposure to field of data science. The assignments are instructive and very realistic I think. The forums are well monitored and the staff does help. HOWEVER- there is much to be done with the course grader. The course does not support assignments in the latest versions of pandas, which is a real headache. I'm at the point now where I have done everything except the last question on the last assignment, and I'm just going to move on to other things in my life. Because I have the latest version of pandas and I don't want to spend the time to figure out how to use the one the grader supports. Also, I did well learning the material, but my intuition for a statistical ttest is weak.

Very good course.

Very usefull

Fantastic introduction to data cleaning, manipulation, visualization, and analysis with Python.

I felt that there was very little hand-holding in this course. I think there was good and bad from that. On the one hand, I think it could have been more helpful if the lecture content more directly correlated to the assignment questions. However, I definitely think that learning to utilize the internet (stack overflow etc.) is an integral part to coding in any language in today's landscape as well. So there is something to be said for that for sure. Overall, I think I learned a lot of valuable skills in the course and I'm looking forward to continuing the others in the specialization.

Great course for newbies

Great course, although not for beginners, i definitely learnt a great deal as one. I guess i'm not a beginner anymore

Very helpful for getting familiar with the Pandas package
