Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

There should be some more content in the course, more clarity in the assignment questions as well.

It is enough for learning basics of python for data science. Thanks

Why are these people in a hurry??? I had to reduce the video speed to 0.75x to get through all the material, because they do not give you time to process anything. There is a video of a guy 'teaching' the numpy module where he spits out 185 numpy functions in less than 8 minutes, and that means 1 FUNCTION EVERY 2.5 SECONDS!! Who in the world can learn like this? I can only assume they are making these videos to show off how much they know instead of actually teaching. They should have given numpy a whole week instead of just one hasty video. And I feel that way about many of the other python modules they cover. The projects are indeed challenging and that is fine. However, they are often putting questions on the graded assignments for things they didn't actually cover yet. They show you how to do A and then expect you to do ABCDEF on the graded assignments. Furthermore, the assignment questions are just badly worded, creating a lot of confusion and unnecessary stress (as seen in the course discussion forums).

The best course to start with. You would require prior python knowledge prior to starting this course.

Great course! The assignments are challenging but interesting. I think I learn a lot from this course.

Course materials were too brief to work on the assignments. You have to do lots of your own homework to get through the assignments. It is almost one can do assignments without referring to any of the class materials. It is obvious course cannot explain all the material but they could have organize it better by making clear focusing the assignments. Also it would be much useful if they can add comment in the Jupyter codes. Assignment 4 was very poorly explained. It is not tough at all but the explanation made it worse.

There is a HUGE gap between the assignment and the lectures. Otherwise, it would be a great course

I enjoyed it very much!

J'ai appris énormément avec ce cours et je remercie les professeurs et tout le staff ainsi que tous ceux qui ont participé dans le forum et qui étaient d'une aide précieuse. Cependant je trouve que plusieurs questions sont mal posés et une grand partie de mon temps je l'ai passé à essayer de comprendre ce qui est demandé. J'espère que les questions seront mieux posés et que l'effort sera consacré à l'apprentissage de nouvelles techniques.

I really like the pandas library works, i had the little background with R. So learning with this python was quite easy to do it. And also i find it sufficient enough for introduction. Assignment were good to test skill and had fun doing it.
