Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

This course was extremely bad. Reading a video where someone simply types at you and monotonously reads exactly what they type is excruciating. The text moves too fast to absorb anything remotely complex, the presenter has no personality whatsoever, and the course mostly amounts to a guided tour through StackOverflow. The autograder fails to compile code that works but isn't efficient, and many quiz questions are worded too ambiguously. Then when you get questions wrong due to bad wording, you can't immediately retake the quiz! I've taken several Python MOOCs, and this was not only the worst by a mile... it was the only bad one. I refuse to waste any more of my time on this.

Challenging but good course. Don't give up. Some programming background is reccomended. I learned a lot.

Overall, I was very pleased with this class and how much I learned from and practiced within it. I have some adjustments I would make, mostly to the assignment instructions and time estimates. The assignment themselves are well-designed and useful, they just have extremely clumsy communication attached. I would recommend it, particularly since all my complaints are easily fixed. I took it in Spring of 2021.

It is a difficult course but if you take it seriosly you will learn a lot of

This course helped a lot to get into pandas and the exercises have been very helpful but also challenging

This is a great course for intermediates on Python with data frames, Pandas and Numpy. I really loved it and recommend for people.

This is a poorly taught course which tells you to go away and teach yourself data science rather than teaching you data science.

Just what I needed to become familiar with pandas and statistical applications. Very hands on!

The course was really good and forced me to intensively check on my weak points which I really much appreciated. The only "weak" point of the course is the automated graduation, but it's just a question about getting accustom to it to better organize ones strategy to pass the certificated. Well done, good job Coursera and University of Michigan. It was really fun, I like it and will continue !!!

amazing
