Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

The course assignments were very helpful in understanding the concepts better while encouraging the students to self-learn

This was a good course. The professor (Chris Brooks) was EXCELLENT, although much of the material was presented very quickly and was difficult to follow at times. The real learning came during the exercises, which I generally found to be very difficult but also very good at ensuring the material presented in lecture was actually reinforced through hands-on programming. I would recommend making more exercises, perhaps two per week, rather than one very detailed exercise at the end. The last week's exercise, in particular, was very difficult for me and I would recommend breaking part 5 (of 6) of that exercise into several smaller chunks that could be completed and graded individually. Rather than 10-10-10-10-10-50 as the points awarded in that exercise, I would also recommend changing the scoring to 10-10-10-10-35-25 as the next-to-last part of the exercise was by far the most difficult and time consuming.

Horrible course. The instructor is reading the course from a prompter. '95% of the time, you see the instructor reading from the prompter, and two people working in the background. When they actually show the code the instructor is talking about, it goes so fast that it's impossible to read the screen. The instructor provides no motivation or background to what he says. He just rattles off the words in a uni

Awesome.

Great Course! Quite Challenging.

As someone with a statistics background and a bit of programming experience, I found this course to be both challenging and rewarding. The videos with embedded example questions were great, and jupyter notebook homework assignments are so much better for learning the material than regular quizzes.

Excellent, if frustrating introduction to data science in python. There was a large learning curve with Coursera and using python, but it was well worth it and I learned a great deal.

Probably, the course can be more detailed with examples of different inbuilt functions. However, Liked the content of the course. Very helpful for people who wants to start on learning about numpys and pands.

One of the best course present online, especially for someone very new new to python and data science.

Excellent Introduction!
