Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

c'est un cours enrichissant il y'a beaucoup de chose à savoir mais bon en générale il est géniale

Good for people with prior programming experience.

Very nice!

USEFUL

I

i really liked the lectures and i learned a lot of new stuff but the autograder was very annoying to me. i spend hours on transferring my answers to the correct format. There were no templates or good describtions for the right format provided so you had to read through the forum and talk to the stuff alot to figure it out. This time (many many hours for me) had absolutely no learning-input and it was very very annoying. I doupted many times if i would finish the course...

Important material, but taught in a far less optimal manner than Python for Everybody (or maybe Dr. Chuck's material is just the gold standard). Material is explained at a high level extremely quickly, with very little explanation of the underlying fundamentals of what's going on. Videos are generally of the instructor talking, not actually slides depicting what happens when you're calling a function like loc. Gold stars for the helpful forum posts from the TAs though - would have probably spent 2-3x the time if not for their posts. The week notebooks are also quite helpful - I recommend just reading the transcripts and following along the notebooks, and only using the video when something really does not make immediate sense.

This course is very Useful for the student who wish to start there carirar In the field of data science , This is one of the great course that help the student to learn

I definitely learned a lot of Python skills from this course, and it was challenging (most of the time, in a good way). However, there were several times where I felt the assignments could have been more clear with expectations. The autograder also made it very difficult to troubleshoot wrong answers without spending time looking through forums. The use of an outdated version of Pandas in the autograder was also a nuisance. You will definitely need to spend time on Stack Overflow for some assignment questions - but I suppose that's just part of programming. I still do think the course videos and sample problems could have used a few more examples that relate to the assignments.

It is quite challenging, I think learner with moderate initiative / motivation might not be able to complete this course. There lots of Googling and Stackoverflow needed to solve almost all assignment, especially 3rd and 4th one.
