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....

Fantastic course that I learned alot from. The assignments were tougher than I expected, and it was a great way to really groke the concepts. My only criticism was that the auto-grader wasn't great.

It's very useful specially for new learner because it only dives into the part of python that data science need. I strongly recommend to anyone even if you don't have experience in programming before.

The lectures videos were poorly structured, the only good things were the assignment which on its own can teach better than the lecturers

The course material is good, but the auto-grader does not work properly. Most time on week 3 assignment is debuggin this auto-correcter.

Very knowledgeable professors, but very little explanation or actual 'teaching'. Graded assignments require a lot of self-education.

Not much information for beginners without a coding background. Assignments are impossible given the video tutorials we have.

Can't learn anything. Nothing is explained properly, everything is just dumped at once and you are expected to know all

it is very hard for beginners to understand!! More example type teaching is required than simply dictating the theories.

The instuctor is too slow and the way of teaching could be made more interactive and interesting , like CS50 of Harvard

Time spent != Learning Benefit. Assignment #3 is a waste of time. Week 3 Lecture and assignment #3 were unrelated.
