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 .

I thought this was course was good, and was fairly challenging for an online-only course. I thought the lectures could have been a little longer to ensure proper coverage of materials and functions.

it does really teach you the basics of data manipulation but without the "teaching", meaning you have to do a lot! of in depth learning and research by your self

This course helps me to understand deeper pandas and numpy. Earlier I haven't done so many exercises by Pandas. Now I can prepare data for further manipulation.

The tutorials should be similar to this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvpNA7bC8cs&t=773s

YouTube explain the python codes better than whats explained here.

It would be helpful to have some kind of test codes to test the assignments on lines of Introduction to ML course by Andrew Ng. That helps is debugging easily.

I already done a reasonable amount of courses in coursera. This one is for sure one of the most challenging and well made that I had the pleasure of finishing

very very helpful and practical BUT very difficult for people with no programming background. Still, great course with lots of practice and hands-on projects.

This course is good for progressive learning of python especially when your is to use python for Data frames. Introduction to hypothesis testing is too short.

Great course. Concise yet very useful. The programming assignments were great, with real-life data sets, and the associated required data cleaning/processing.

Excellent introduction to Data Science. I just wish that there are practice assignments on just the topics covered before diving into our own implementations

Learned a lot about Pandas and data manipulation! But some small points are not very clearly explained in the assignments. Going over the forum is necessary.

Excellent course a good way to learn Pandas API in 4 weeks. Beware the assignments, read the discussion for pointers or common errors before submitting them.

Great teacher, great lectures, good example code and assignments that are not too easy and not too hard. I really feel like I learned and achieved something.
