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....

The assessments, quizzes, and course coverage are quite good. The main points are covered, although it does not cover everything. Additionally, it provides opportunities to learn and conduct research.

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

I wish we had more examples and datasets in this course. Overall, it is a good way to start and learn how to use NumPy and Pandas

over all good content, assignments were good, one thing i find it hard is pacing, it's sometimes too fast, but it is worth taking

The course is not bad for the start, but I'm a little bit confused because of difference between lectures and assignments' tasks.

programming assignments and quizzes were tedious. I think best way to learn syntax is generally learn by doing. Class was decent

Course could have been taught with some more depth and focus given on covering more concepts. Otherwise the curriculum was good.

I gues is important give more estructures to the student, i think a little cheatsheet of python is very useful for the students.

The assignments were a bit difficult. It sometimes demotivates when the going gets tough. Was able to crack it in the end though

It was a knowledgable experience. But I would say need a bit more work towards explaining the programming during the sessions.

It was difficult to choose; 4 or 5 stars. It is a 5 star course, but due to my fighting with the autograder, I ended up with 4.

Course content was really good as it focused more on practical work rather than just theory. The last assignment was difficult.

Video instruction is way too short compare to other Coursera courses. I don't think it's a good course for absolute beginners.

The lectures are a bit fast and there are a few errors in the homework. The homework is very helpful and uses real-world data.

Submissions were generally hard, if you want to take this course you should learn most of the programming things by yourself.

Good Intro part for pandas. The homework part is more difficult than the materials. Materials could have been more organized.
