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....

overall the good introductory course of python for data science but i feel it should have covered the basics in more details .specially for the ones who do not have any prior programming background .

This course was fast paced but the material was interesting and not to complex. I can only recommend this course to anyone interested in Data Science and who already has a basic knowledge of Python.

The assignments were challenging and cool. Lot of self-study needed to crack them. The lecture videos could have been a bit more interesting.

The assignments were very interesting and the teaching also was very good. The main help was the provision of notes in the jupyter notebook

The course is really nice, hands-on all the time. Some questions of the assignments could be improved to avoid ambiguity/subjectivity tough.

Not beginner friendly, great assignments which require "stackoverflow" skill. you actually learn from assignment. Videos are not that great

good course overall but there needs to be more information on code profiling/optimizing it is really required to pass a part of question 4.

A good introduction to Pythonic data science programming tools. Just bit too fast in exposition for my learning curve. However I liked it.

Mostly good. However the question quality of homework 4 should be improved. The way how questions are expressed is ambiguous and confusing.

Educational materials are more than great. Lectures and notebook resources are A+++.

However, programming assignments are not interesting.

Good but I personally found the time required for the assignments a bit unrealistic, having some basics in programming but not in Python.

The course was challenging but fun. To complete the assignments you need to research python on the Internet and consult the course forums.

Autograder is hard to understand and has no feedback. Could improve the feedback mechanism, maybe with peer review. Thanks for the course!

Challenging, good overview, I wish there was more drilling in series/dataframes basics before diving into apply to datascience problems.

The course is really good but a little more insight to pandas would have made it even better and also the auto-graders is a little buggy.

Assignments of the course are more educative than video contents . Because videos include short and insufficent information about topics.
