Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

Will be useful to take the Phyton Cpurse before this one. You only learn when you do the assignments.

The Assignments are really tough and need a lot of self study. However, If you are a person who learns by doing projects this course is the one.

I learned so much. However, the lack of support when I got stuck made it a frustrating experience. I would not have been able to pass without the discussion forum tips. Even then, it was a lot of mucking in the dark and assignments took longer to complete than they should have. I'm glad I took the course but it was not designed for someone at my skill level. If the discussion forum was organized in a better way, it would have helped -- I had to scroll through pages of text to find the right tips to identify my mistakes. Sometimes the question requirements were oddly or ambiguously phrased and I misunderstood the expectation for the function being tested.

really interesting course and professors are great

Nice course about pandas.

Instructor gives minimal examples and says "go look on stack overflow". Then he proceeds to assign problems that don't really cover what the slides, lectures, or examples were on. If I all I was trying to do was just read some docs and look on stack overflow I wouldn't need to take this course now would I? Poorly translated and cryptic instructions for assembling furniture are better than what you get here.

I really enjoyed this challenging introductory course, I cannot wait to continue the specialization

Difficult. I cannot recommend this course to everyone but just technically minded people.

This course relies almost exclusively on self learning of the details of pandas. It would be greatly improved by examples of how to use pandas to solve problems similar to the assignments.

Doesn't provide resources to complete assignments. Telling students to "go to Stack Overflow" is a serious red flag. Independent learning is an incredibly valuable process, but this course felt more like a series of challenge assignments to do once you've learned Pandas on your own from another source.
