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.

It is a great course to get started in the field of data science. It just require basic knowledge of python. This course teaches you basics of numpy and pandas and how to apply them in data science

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.

A good course overall.The assignments are challenging and promote a lot of self learning.The Jupyter Notebook integration is also a plus.

Good training for beginner. The last assignment seems to be quite challenging but once delivered helps a lot to increase the confidence.

This course is was very challenging since I have to pretty much learn python on the fly and then understand the data science part of it

Course videos provide good examples of using methods, but prepare to teach yourself from StackOverflow when completing the assignments.

Good course to start learning python and some of it's application.

Week 1 and 2 videos are very fast forwarding on python for beginners.

The demo speed is too fast for the new average learner, but we can always stop and rewind. Assignments are lengthy yet too informative.

Don't think this should be classified as "Beginner Specialization. No prior experience required." Need at least some coding experience.

To be honest, I think the course is very good, however, it may be need to more clear on the description of the questions in assignment.

The course is good, but the autograder is absolutely horrible, spend hours figuring out how to force autograder to accept my solution.

Generally, it is very useful course, and provides lots of resources. However, I believe that they are areas to make the course better.

The assignment is quit hard and students need to do a lot of research to pass. But you can learn a lot of things through this process.

I loved problems and approaches. There are definitely some key topics which needs more practice, hopefully with time this will evolve.

There was a lot of self learning required to complete the projects, I'm not sure the lecture portion of the course is worth the money.

Tough course. Great exercises increasing in difficulties and are without much training wheels. The videos are a bit too fast for me.

I would like to have seen more detailed teaching on Hypothesis testing and how it applies to python before tackling the final project.

The assignment wordings are ambiguous. Clear instructions are needed with a sample of the end product showing data type/format/shape.

Muy completo el curso, pero los assignments no concordaban completamente con lo visto en los videos (su dificultad era mucho mayor).

If technical points can be explained in more details, the course will be more attractive. Overall, it's a very fantastic experience.

I had to rely on the feedback from the forum for the final week's homework. It was impossible without reading everyone's questions.
