Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

Was quite condensed and not explained fully in some places.

It's a really useful course to get your hands dirty and get familiar with python. The explanations are pretty structured as well.

Difficult but loved

I really did like the course overall. The content and its concept are excellent. Make sure you already have Python fundamentals or you will work a little harder (I already had Python experience under my belt). The final project was a good first hands-on approach to doing something most employers would consider to be a real project. Since an autograder is used, the data sets were already provided, but one could imagine where one would have to acquire the data themselves and then follow similar procedures to accomplish a statistical task. My only complaints are: 1 (Minor): the attitude of some of the instructors in the Discussion Forums is off-putting. I don't know if this is a language barrier problem or if they truly just lack "soft skills" in working with people, but you have to take them with a grain of salt. Not all of them, but some in particular. 2 (Major): the autograder is years behind. The APIs (mostly Pandas) that you will use in real life have features that will work for your assignments, but then fail in the Autograder. I spent 1.5 to 2x as long on this month of the specialization due to how archaic the autograder is. I will definitely be warning my employer about this if other people in my organization want to take the course. Figuring out these issues exist requires going to the Discussion Forums (the warnings are in the assignments), and there you will encounter problem #1 I pointed out.

Why didn't you taught the stuff you meant to give in the assessments, if one had to learn independently you could've provided with assignments only. Also too much rush during the programming tutorial.

accent is not easy to understand

very helpful

very knowledgable

The course is really good and easy to learn. Only thing is that the content is less. Maybe because it's just the introduction. But overall, course is good and one really get to learn basic about data science.

excellent
