Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Data Science in Python

It's a very nice course. Assignments are very very good. Especially last week's assignments are challenging and interesting.

The course was frustrating in the occasional lack of specificity in the assignments, which led to problems with the grader. I assume that these resulted in the replacement by a new course, which unfortunately does not begin until after I had already completed this. The lectures by Prof. Brooks sometimes covered the material quickly without developing the points step by step. The lectures by the assistant were very difficult to follow. The assignments were challenging and I have a sense of accomplishment having completed them all.

Amazing course!

This course is just awesome! It dives deep into each topic! The only thing you must make sure before enroling is that your knowledge in Python is at least intermediate.

Great course!

I learned from the assignments. Even though it says each of the assignment should take about 4 hours. I spent much more. It wasn't felt daunting. It is just a lot of little tricks and tips you need to figure out yourself to complete the task. Thank you! :D

Very Good Course! I got a lot of information and knowledge finishing this course and it's really good for people who's looking for a start to learn data science, especially using python.

This course is really good for getting your feet wet in Data Science! Foundational Data Science theories & techniques were introduced by Prof Brooks. It would be good if you had some foundational knowledge in Python so you can better navigate the course! (In the older version of the course, they assumed you knew RegEx - Regular Expressions & other nifty tricks like strip & split, but I saw that they'll be covering these in the newer version of the course, so a good introduction if you didn't know about these topics!). The course gives you the basic foundations, most of which are necessary to solve the course, but there are some methods & expressions that you'd have to Google for yourself. Similar to a college course, there isn't much hand-holding but still doable. In doubt, ask in the Discussions! The TA's are helpful :)

Insanely fast paced course.. Needs Improvement

A very interesting and challenging course that would benefit from replacement of the somewhat disturbing living background of the videos, a slower-paced delivery of the lessons, the proper identification of the key functions and methods that are required for the assignments, and replacement Kudos to Yusuf without whom I would not have complete the course!
