Thanks for the solid core python knowledge! I found it's very helpful with my daily work.
Needs to be packaged in more interesting way..felt course contents and presentation vague
Thanks to University of Michigan for good lessons and explainations of hard things! Hope it will help to find a job in Data Analysis/Science.
Probably, safe to say with ok level python programming knowledge, when I began this course I never thought i could learn so so much.
Very useful!
The shared files we can access in the Coursera lab are all very useful for practicing our coding skills. For anyone who is taking this course, do not forget to make use of all the files there ^^
Recent changes to the course made it a lot worse! Longer, less concise videos, difficult to find course notes, fewer mid-video working problems, and quizzes are pointless.
From my point of view, the content of this course and especially the assignments were very challenging (which i think is positive because you had to look back into the course content and/or Python documentation). This really forces you to actively work with course content.
The main improvement point within this course is the way of how the content is explained and presented; just repeating everything which is written down in the book and trying to explain as much as possible within a short period of time is not the way of teaching from my point of view. Maybe, some slides with some more explanation about a specific topics with (for example) why and how Python is performing as it performs would be more beneficial (instead of immediately jumping in what you have to do to solve a specific problem).
A greate course about Data Science !
