Ratings and Reviews for Applied Plotting, Charting & Data Representation in Python

Really helpful to improve skillset of visual communication.

Matplotlib is awful. Too much focus on it.

This was a very informational course, when you can visually see actual trends that has happened in the history or interesting facts from all over the world, with proper data backing up. What I liked the fact was how Tufte's and Cairo's principles are strongly emphasized throughout the course to get the best results possible.

The Peer review system is good, but the evaluation method should be more elaborate

Good course mostly focused on personal work and assignments. Yet, assignments are more reasonable than course #1

This is an interesting course, but the professor really does not spend enough time teaching the topic. It's like as if he expects that giving us a very high level overview on a subject (e.g., "These are the principles of beauty to follow when making a chart!"), followed by 1-2 very specific cases ("here's how to build a scatterplot!") is enough. We're then expected to teach ourselves in order to be able to turn in assignments. I understand that a core skill of any programmer is the capacity to search for code snippets online as well as ask questions to the community, but for an introductory course on Matplotlib, I'd expect more teaching of the subject matter.

Excellent!

Very practical course. Highly recommended.

Skills taught is limited.

awesome!
