Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

Some topics are very difficult since many of the concepts are outside of what was thought in the lectures so one has to do a lot of research outside of the website. This takes up a lot of time and is way more than the estimated time for each part of the course. I did find excellent help available on the forum. Overall, a very challenging yet fun course.

This course is very challenging but worthwhile. Having experiences in data analysis with python, I still feel the assignments are really hard to complete. BUT it is really worthwhile, and I improved my skills in python A LOT! The auto-graded system is AWESOME! I sincerely recommend this course and really appreciate the work of the teaching staff!

Great Course,very practical. I would improve the examples and increase the number of exercise during the lectures instead of just fastly presenting the pandas functionalities.

Я научился работать с массивом данным с инструментами Python.

A very interesting and useful course for those who want to learn how to clean data in Python. I loved the opportunity to work directly on the notebook as I was listening to lectures. I think that more emphasis should have been put in the pros and cons why and how of using the pandas lib. functions in order to accomplish tasks. Assignments were very instructive and well explained by staff in the Discussion Forum Many thanks to the staff and to U. of Michigan for the course.

The course lessons could have been more specific and provide more explanations on many topics that are later required in the assignments

Fast-paced course requiring time to finish - but totally worth it!

The whole curse relies on the automated grading system, which is still a little sloppy. I think it would be useful to have one notebook or cheatsheet with all the important functions. And also, I personally like to have a reference assignment that was completed by the instructors. This could be provided before or after the course, but the way I really learn is by reading other peoples code and seeing ways to code problems. Thanks

Fantastic course with challenging assignments. Wish there were more handouts to explain some of the key concepts and the grader was better informative of the errors.

Great course!! I've enjoyed the assignments very much - from my part it required a a lot of individual investigation / reading through posts to find possible solutions but that's only fair since this is an intermediate course. It was a fantastic experience as the assignments felt like real projects. Thanks for everyone making this course possible! Daniel
