excellent for beginners
High learning curve.
The course teach me a lot. I didn't have previous experience in Python so it was quite challenging. It gave me solid foundation to start learning more about Data Analysis in Python.\

However, from time to time, I found the Assignments very challenging and I need to search a lot in outside sources to complete.
Very challenging course. But you can really learn something by solving challenges, right? It depends on how much you want to learn from the course.
I agree with some reviews saying that course was mostly limited to self-learning. Videos were rushed and learning mostly limited to self-studying. Assignments descriptions were confusing and not well explained, not to mention that it takes hours to figure out why correct solution is not accepted. I'd say writing code (correctly) takes 4 hours but then you need 8 hours to figure out why your answer is not accepted.
This course is good enough to learn how to use Python.
Very difficult course, very challenging in terms of the validation tool for the homework, but undoubtly I learned very much from it. Thank you !
While the lectures are short, the assignments are quite tough and force you into a series of extremely valuable self-teaching hours. :)
The course is well structured with slightly challenging assignments. It also included some literature and other forms of media that provoking discussion about the philosophy and the future of data science. However, the auto-grader is such a pain... and thus, one minus star.
