Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

Really enjoyed the course and specially the assignments enhanced my course knowledge!

Awesome course!! First ever course that pushes you beyond your limits and provides a real-world data wrangling experience.

Please, Give some more insights of the basics.

thanks university of michigan for letting me do this course

Videos not very explanatory, ended up being a lot of self-teaching, video seemed too scripted and didn't really explain concepts well

This is not really a course. 2h of lectures in total. I have been in longer one-day university lectures. You have to attend other courses in order to be able to complete the assignments because 90% of what they ask is not in the lectures. This is a compilation of exercises, not a course. On the other hand, the assignments and exercises are OK, that's why I gave it 2 stars.

very impressive course but the project with many cumbersome issue

Nice Experience

This course provides very little instruction. I really like learning by trial and error, and I think that is how coding is typically learned. Learning python from stack_exchange, however, is how I was already learning it, and I was doing fine. The whole problem of learning from stack exchange is that you don't know if you are doing things in the best possible way, which can be important for big datasets. There was no discussion of the best practices for complete an assignment, after it was turned in, and, in general, may functions were required to pass the course that were never discussed in the course. The entire weeks lecture could also be watched in about 30 minutes, which seems low to me. Most courses I have taken have at least three hours a week of lecture. I have friends who have taken this same course, and had a similar assessment.
