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....

This is the practical course.There is some concepts and assignments like: pandas, data-frame, merge and time. The asg 3 and asg4 are difficult but I think that it's very useful and improve my ability.

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

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.

Good course, you have to do a very large amount of work and research and test on your side in order to properly understand it.

It was a good solid course on intro data science with Pandas. I found the videos were a little dry, but the content was good.

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.

You need kind of basics about programming, Further, the activities you need a lot of self research to clarify the statements

Course itself really good, assignments rather boring, specially the repetition and the manual cleaning/checking of the data.

This is an intro class but it feels like Data Science 5000. Be prepared for long nights, but I feel there will be a payoff.

Takes some more time than it is said in the course. I didn't have any experience in Python so that is probably the reason.

The Video content is not satisfactory. The content must be improved. It does cover only the edge. This should be enriched.
