About the Course

This course will introduce the learner to the basics of the python programming environment, including fundamental python programming techniques such as lambdas, reading and manipulating csv files, and the numpy library. The course will introduce data manipulation and cleaning techniques using the popular python pandas data science library and introduce the abstraction of the Series and DataFrame as the central data structures for data analysis, along with tutorials on how to use functions such as groupby, merge, and pivot tables effectively. By the end of this course, students will be able to take tabular data, clean it, manipulate it, and run basic inferential statistical analyses. This course should be taken before any of the other Applied Data Science with Python courses: Applied Plotting, Charting & Data Representation in Python, Applied Machine Learning in Python, Applied Text Mining in Python, Applied Social Network Analysis in Python....

This is the practical course.There is some concepts and assignments like: pandas, data-frame, merge and time. The asg 3 and asg4 are difficult but I think that it's very useful and improve my ability.

The course had helped in understanding the concepts of NumPy and pandas. The assignments were so helpful to apply these concepts which provide an in-depth understanding of the Numpy as well as pandans

The course rushes through a lot of concepts and expects the learner to figure out real insights using public resources. The reference material is poor.

A horrible course with very little detail than required, I had to access a lot of additional resources than coursera in order to complete this course.

The content of teaching in videos is a way too less than the level of asssignments .I had to make a lot of efforts on my own to understand the things.

The ways is taught is not very good - basically a lot info in short timespan. I don't think the Jupyter Notebooks format is the adequate for teaching.

its hard for beginners to understand in the flow , it took me time to complete the course by studying about the same concept in other resources too

For some reason the format in which the lectures are organized lack a lot of tact and seem to be made with no pedagogic consideration whatsoever.

Explanations of python were pretty coarse, the video was not helping much. I feel like I spent time doing 99% of python and 1% of data science.

Many bugs, lecture content does not cover topics required to complete the assignments, assignment instructions are not written in a clear way.

The speaker speaks too fast for any useful "sharing". One need to do reverse engineering to understand the code and underlying concept.

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

Good course materials and the assignment itself is pretty good, but the grader is buggy, not informative and wasted a lot of my time.

Too much focus on databases and database operations, rather than data science.

The assignments are too difficult for a 4 week course.

Assignments were not clearly documented, causing lot of time spent in understanding the requirements than implementing a solution.

The course is very fast-paced and explanations are not clear neither detailed, it looks like instructors are just doing formality

This is a poorly taught course which tells you to go away and teach yourself data science rather than teaching you data science.

Very little explanation on how the libs actually work. Assignments cover stuff that sometimes is not even lectured.

The materials are great, but the pace is too fast, I can hardy catch up. Really need to slow down a little bit.

The course is not gradual. Especially the fourth assignment is too difficult in relation to the course.

The lectures are much too concise, practice is scarce which renders an overall frustrating experience.
