Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

All the ingredients are there, but it would be nice to have more hand-holding given the ramp-up in difficulty in only a few weeks.

It was very hard but extremly learnful.

One of the best Courses I have done online. Took me back to basics and gave the best possible introduction to python which was beyond my expectations

Excellent course and lot to learn, one of the best data analysis toolkit available.

The course lectures were subpar and didn't cover the material in the assignments. Googling for answers and checking stackoverflow for code is a great way to get tips, but it doesn't teach you the core material. I would have rather had links to supplemental readings that the materials were based on. I would not recommend this course as an introduction course unless you've had significant experience with Python data structures and know how to work with lists, dataframes, and iterate over those.

Thanks a lot for your work. It's a great course for data sciense in python!

A lot of the harder questions were unclear or not covered by the course. Many were passed onto "look this up yourself", which is fine, but sometimes a different approach resulted in a slightly different answer marked as wrong. The group_by stuff was especially tricky, as it was unlike its SQL counterpart and could have used a better example, eg with a function to split into quarters or group columns. Other than that, very interesting overall and very neat datasets. I would encourage having students check out kaggle.com for extra credit.

Really good course with challenging assignments. However, the grader has some issues, for every assignment I had to spend more time trying to figure out how to make the grader accept my answers than actually solving the problems.

The assignments were very well made and the discussion forums were also very well moderated. I will highly recommend this to any of my peers who are interested.

The material seemed a bit hurried at times..but overall a great learning experience and the assignments were truly helpful
