Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

Content is actually very good, I can feel the content creator and staffs emphasis on real world problems. Projects and Assignments are quite useful, and I can expect to use skills I acquired in my day to day work. However, the most agonizing parts of this course is it requires tremendous of time to do self-study. I spend tons of time on google search, reading docs and go over other people's post on various forums in order to find the right way(sometimes optimal way) to finish the assignments. I understand and accept that self-study is very import to master things nowadays, but I really think gap is too big between what was taught in class and what you need to complete this course, especially for people that has zero data science programming experience like me. I'd rather spend time watching 2 more hours of teaching videos per week that can cover more aspects/topics/tips/tricks than go over lots of docs and posts. I won't deny I learned a lot through this course, but I believe my learning curve can be flatten significantly if there is more class materials available. If the majority of course is spent on googling, what's the point to take it?

very practical introduction to Python programming

The course is fantastic! By practicing with the assignments, I improved a lot in python programming. I am now confident in doing data cleaning and manipulation in python.

Fantastic!

I am an engineer and I use matlab and stata for data analysis and currently taking Machine Learning course by Stanford which is fabulous. I did not like this course for the following reasons: 1- bad course design structure 2- so confusing and inappropriate sequence 3- super fast without providing any intuition 4- no fundamental explanation 5- course could be longer and spend enough time in each subject

A pretty challenging course! I learned a lot and would recommend to anyone interested in advanced python and data science.

Many bugs, lecture content does not cover topics required to complete the assignments, assignment instructions are not written in a clear way.

Great course and material.

Good hands on projects.

Great Course, excellent exercises.
