Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

Good course

A good start. However, most of the material is left for self-learning

This course is very useful

Don't try this if you are not working with pandas for a while.... The course is actually overwhelming......it packs a lot if stuff without being clear about every item..... Sometimes you just DON'T know what the speaker is talking about :(

Lecturer was very fast

Really very mush useful for all the data analyst.

Very great level, and very complex, but useful

This is a assignment-driven course, and the assignments are great. The course is not self-contained, and the assignment is much harder than the content of the course videos. It takes >8 hours per assignment, and it does require some previous programming experience. I have seen complaints about the difficulty of the assignment. However, if someone really wants to learn how to do data science and programming, one cannot copy and paste everything from others' or some lecturer's code. Data wrangling is important work when dealing with real-life data, and he or she must knowing how to read through documents and extract information by themselves. There's no shortcut if you really want to learn Python and pandas. From dealing with real life data, I learned a lot in this course. However, I suggest that the lecturer should provide some simple lecture videos on how to read documents and how to effectively search for relevant content on the internet. Many students may not have appropriate programming skill background before taking this course.

Grader platform could be beter

Good course design for mediate level programmer who is interested in Data Science with Python. Reading materials is lacking references. All of them off site study you have to do are relied on yourselves. Without off site study, you wouldn't complete the course.
