Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

Hard course, but good ROI.

While this was one of the better courses I've done on Coursera, the start date of the course was changed without any indication of when it would begin. We've also been waiting months for the next course in the specialisation to begin, again without any communication. This was a good course, but I would recommend people wait until all the rest of the courses are available before starting this course and beginning the specialisation.

This is a very well organized course with a great introduction to data science. In a short time of 4 weeks, it covers Python basics, Padans library, and some very basic introduction to statistics in data science. The assignments are well desgined, and the mentors are very helpful in the forums. I highly recommend this course.

It was challenging yet fun to learn this course. Last but not least, the http://stackoverflow.com is really helpful. I highly recommend it to anyone who want to learn Python.

This course has helped me equip basics knowledge of Python Pandas.

Good at setting up the framework for the assignments. Google/stackoverflow is your friend. The course materials presents the information but you will have to go and actively learn a good amount of material. I enjoyed this approach but some may be looking for a more contained course.

a little more help from the video lectures is expected. The assignments required a lot of self study which is great but at the beginning, every assignment looks daunting and discourages a little. Although the forums helped a lot in getting through this course, but the majority of the roadmap to take, and all other lessons should be included in the videos.

First two weeks are great. The third week becomes a bit disporportionately difficult. The autograder is very inflexible.

very practical and efficient - high useful skills gained per time spent ratio!

Useful and concise lectures, interesting exercises!
