It is a very nice course, providing you are able to pour a LOT of individual efforts into it, especially into the assignments. The knowledge required to finish the course is far beyond what they taught. I spent 70% of my time in the course on Stackoverflow or Google, or asking my friends. However, I admitted I gained huge amount of knowledge and experiences, as well as "individual research skills" and confidence, from this course. I would recommend going through this course in a much shorter period of time than recommended (like in a week), during your vacation or week off.

Best Course ever!!
Good exercise, very practical course, teach and self learning combined.
Even though I am already a heavy user of Pandas in my daily work, this course forced me to learn several useful features that I had never knew about or bothered to learn. The exercises were challenging enough that it took a decent amount of time and effort to complete them. There were many technical challenges with the autograder and the coursera hosted notebooks that made this more of a challenge than it should have been.
Content was well paced and well presented but the auto grading submissions took a long time to get used to and were very stressful. The recommended time to complete the assessments was also very optimistic, most assessments took me easily double the time suggested.
I would highly recommend this course anyone who likes to learn basic fundamentals of Data Science. I would like to say big thank you to this course instructors. Again, Thank you coursera.
Though assignments are tough, but mentor support in discussion forums are incredible :)
can be made a bit detailed course on Python
Pretty good course
Great Course, very useful basic python course. Although I had lots of experience with python it is always good to go back to basics and reinforce good coding practices
