About the Course

This course will teach you how to leverage the power of Python and artificial intelligence to create and test hypothesis. We'll start for the ground up, learning some basic Python for data science before diving into some of its richer applications to test our created hypothesis. We'll learn some of the most important libraries for exploratory data analysis (EDA) and machine learning such as Numpy, Pandas, and Sci-kit learn. After learning some of the theory (and math) behind linear regression, we'll go through and full pipeline of reading data, cleaning it, and applying a regression model to estimate the progression of diabetes. By the end of the course, you'll apply a classification model to predict the presence/absence of heart disease from a patient's health data....

The topic is great, and the linkage and references provided are valuable.

The hands-on quiz should be supported with better instructions and descriptions regarding what to do.

The subject is interesting and exercises are educational but there are many shortcomings. Numerous assignments are broken and some answers in quizes are wrong. In the last one I have copied author's solution and even then I was 20 points short. Additionally, more than half of materials are just links to library documentation. The examples to work with are interesting, but those are almost exclusively the ones provided with sklearn library. I've learned a lot in this course, but I have a feeling that this is because numpy, pandas and sklearn are well documented, not because this course is well made.

The course has good content, but unfortunately, like some other courses on coursera, the assignments are unclear, or contain errors. as well as the support team do not answer questions. Making it difficult to obtain the certificate of completion.

The course stars off well, but there is a steep learning curve and fast pace, with assignments often much harder than what was discussed in the classes or than what is reported in the documentation. Assignments could be written more clearly. However, the course does cover quite some basics on the field.

- A lot of typos in documents

- Concepts and features were poorly explained; the majority of the course is documents and files being thrown on the table for learners to crawl through with hardly any further instructions, making the learning curve super steep.

The Dictionary assignment in week 1 requiring 100% to pass has an obvious fault in the assessment process not allowing correct answers to be graded as correct

This was a good learning experience for someone new to data science and scikit-learn. The resources provided in the modules were helpful and mostly relevant. Besides the course not including various other models from scikit-learn, it was a fruitful experience.

Good introduction. A bit too short for a 4-week course. The autograder is not very good, and some solutions are wrong.

It could be better if we can see where we did wrong after each assignment. Good and well-paced course otherwise

The content is solid, but there are a nontrivial number of errors in the quizzes/assignments. Likewise, the programming labs cover good material, but the problem statements are sloppy and often too ambiguous to set you up for success with the auto-grader (which doesn't tell you where you lost points, making it arduous to determine where your assignments are failing for something like e.g. having your new columns added in the same order as the solutions).

pretty nice, even though the autograders were giving me a hard time on the labs. Good to brush up my panadas and scikit .

Structure of this course is good in princilple. Quizzes are good to prove, what you've just learned. BUT the lab session are anoying to some degree. The grading is not working very well, even with a correct code (but maybe with a slightly different but correct solution to the problem). This gets annoying with the bigger tasks at the end of this course. The failures are reported frequently and for months...it seems not to help. I appreciate that they also do a lot of reading themselves, but not if I have to create an additional account to read it. Video expalnations and coding in the videos, sometimes were too fast for me... Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this course!
