Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

Class was good, and the information was presented in a way that was straightforward to understand and apply. I wish the exercise autograder provided more feedback. Sometimes the lack of actionable information made it difficult to solve problems.

1)Auto grading for assignments worked on and off (mostly off). I spent far more time for the auto grading than the time I spent for actually doing the assignments and learning stuff. I considered quitting after the first week and had to really force myself to go on. 2) This course requires Python experience. This should be made more clear in the course description. I struggled a lot because I lacked Python experience. 3) The instructors have pacing issues - especially the teaching assistant. They rush the important points. 4) I think the difficulty level of the quizes and assignments is not encouraging learning. I considered quitting after the first week. I'd have easier and more motivating earlier quizes/assignments; then build up on them.

I like the use of the Jupyter notebook. Don't have to wait for grades.

Good. Looking forward to learn more!

I like the course very much, it will be useful for career prospective. I have taken courses in different sites, but this is especially to good in practice , assignments and grading.

This course has an in-depth exposure to pandas, and how to manipulate dataframes. I found it quite challenging and rewarding, as it improved my knowledge of series, dataframes and data manipulations in Python.

Excellent course and to the point explanation. Although i believe video Lectures can be more fun. hank you for the course.

Excellent Course curriculum

If you are looking for in-depth theory, you may be looking at the wrong place. The videos skim through some fundamentals, and sometimes give you some valuable hints. But if you are looking for a challenging experience that emulates the real world, this course is definitely for you. The assignments will throw you to the wolves very early. You will have to research way beyond the videos to finish them in a elegant manner. It also encourages you to code in a "pandorable" way, which is a valuable skill.

Sometimes my time was spent trying to get to grips with the ambiguity of the question. this was quite often frustrating, but overall good course, learn a lot.
