About the Course

Nearly every aspect of business is affected by data analytics. For businesses to capitalize on data analytics, they need leaders who understand the business analytic workflow. This course addresses the human skills gap by providing a foundational set of data processing skills that can be applied to many business settings. In this course you will use Python, a widely adopted data analytics language, to efficiently prepare business data for analytic tools such as algorithms and visualizations. Cleaning, transforming, aggregating, and reshaping data is a critical, but inconspicuous step in the business analytic workflow. As you learn how to use Python to prepare data for analysis, you will gain experience using integrated development environments (IDEs) that simplify coding, support data exploration, and help you share results effectively. As you learn about the business analytics workflow you will also consider the interplay between business principles and data analytics. Specifically, you will explore how delegation, control, and feasibility influence the way in which data is processed. You will also be introduced to examples of business problems that can be solved with data automation and analytics, and methods for communicating data analytic results that do not require copying and pasting from one platform to another....

Everything about the course (instructor, contents, quizzes and assignments) was very fine except for the last course assignment (the Peer-Graded assignment), which I had to wait for more than 8 days to have it graded. I was very unhappy about that long wait. A minor issue was that of the two peer reviewers/graders gave me unfair grading on one of the questions.

I really liked this course. I realized that even if you know many things about R there is always some new (basic) practical things, that slipped from your knowledge. I suggest this course to people who want to establish good foundations in Basic R.

Excellent challenging course. Tough to crack assignments and assessments without hands-on knowledge.

The lectures are good, but the peer review process is horrible. The actual assignment is ok, but the reviewing part is a joke. There are a ton of "please review my submission" posts. When I try to review submissions myself I am directed to a project that isn't even the same. The feedback stops at the lectures. There is occasional help from fellow learners but nothing from staff. I was looking forward to completing this whole specialization but given the lack of support to even be able get us the correct info on assignments or help, I can't recommend continuing.
