The rating 4/5 is for the assignments complexity . It requires the learner to work through the logic in pandas and self learn through the errors . This is the new way to learn w/o any spoon feeding . I reduced the rating to 4 and not 5 , beacuse I feel more content could have been given taught by the professors or leave a good piece of advice to the learners. 5/5 for Forum support by teaching staff.
Great course!!!! The explanations and lectures are really helpful and the forum discussions are interesting, but the main feature is certainly the assignments, really challenging but at the same time a real learning experience!
The course has a high level which is fine. The bad part is that most the knowledge you require to complete the assignments is not available in the content of the videos and you have to spend quite some time on internet. It took me way more time than the hours they say to complete the course.
Very good course with excellent exercises.
The pacing for the course is horrendous, this class quickly becomes impossible to do without looking up answers as the lectures do not help at all
The course has indeed taken place over much of what can be considered introductory in data science. However, there is nothing introductory about python, which may bother a more novice student, and the second week of the curos is much more challenging than the others. I believe it is possible to build this same course in 5 weeks to teach more about python and reduce the difficulty of the second week without compromising depth and quality.
cool ex
This course is helpful for the basic learner who wants to go deep in Data Science
This course is a really bad introduction to Data Science. You do not learn how to code for Data Science, they just give you a list of functions without really teaching you how to use them. Then in the tests you get tested on a lot of things that were not explained and you end up searching how to do most stuff on Stack Overflow. I came here to learn stuff in an organised way, not to learn function after function. The things tested in the exams should be about what you teach, and not whatever you want. This course asumes you have a background in Python and also a background in using it for Data Science, which basically means it is not an introductory course.
Loved this course.Too much to learn .recommending everyone
