Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

I never thought this Data Science course was going to be that challenging and exciting at the same time. I have really enjoyed this first course and I am about to enroll for the coming courses. Well explained concepts and very comprehensive videos. Congrats!

Looks like it's prealpha version of what it might be.

Advanced Python! It was hard, but I enjoyed it!

Excellent to get started with data science with Python. Very good instructor and lots of hands on exercises. Kudos!

This course was great to get a start in Data Science. I thought the lectures and the course notes were very well presented and served as a good resource for the assignments. The use of Jupyter notebooks was especially helpful. I found the course forums also very helpful in debugging my code. I have some previous experience with Pythons so the level of the assignments was easy enough that I didn't feel overwhelmed, but challenging enough for me do a lot of independent study. A criticism I have is that the Jupyter notebooks kept logging me off so saving assignments regularly failed and I had to redo work often. I usually don't pay for courses on Coursera, but the quality of this was so good that I will definitely continue with the specialization.

Com certeza o curso melhorou o meu conhecimento em python. Antes mesmo de terminá-lo já aplicava os conhecimentos no meu trabalho. Contudo, terminei trabalhando muito mais tempo nas provas do que o tempo estipulado pela equipe de instrutores. Cheguei a pensar que estava fazendo tudo errado, mas vi nos fóruns que outros também tiveram a mesma dificuldade. Estou muito satisfeito, não quero provas mais fáceis, apenas uma noção mais adequada do tempo que será gasto (levando em conta que estrangeiros podem demorar mais para entender o enunciado).

Last assignment was *painful*: Poorly described instructions, outcomes/outpu; the grader was opaque and largely mute.

good when it's been around for a while, else frustrated with a lot of unclear instruction and no support.

It needs some previous experience with Python and if possible with Pandas

Um ótimo curso para quem quer iniciar um aprendizado em Python e em Data Sciente.
