Even though Matt Harrison is a great teacher, the course feels like a collage of videos, and also just a quick glampse of tools you can use to visualize data. Expected much more from this course, giving a 3 just to not be harsh on the great instructor, you are better looking videos on Youtube or getting a book from him where you can get a better idea at the python code to create graphs.

I wish we would have access to the python notebooks shown in the course to play around.

This course is a complete misfit for the specialization in data engineering. It added no value at all in the context and it should be replaced with something else. Furthermore, there don't seem to be any links to the code used by the instructor, so many of his more advanced plotting techniques can't easily be explored and tweaked (crucial to learning how they really work) without pausing the video and typing things out by hand - most of the blocks of code were too long to even try to reproduce manually. I was extremely disappointed by the whole thing.
