    T​his course has great potential for future Data Scientists and it gives a breif explination of what we are dealing in the companies by giving us real life problems and making us solve those problems.

    I love this course as it gives me the foundations of learning the Python coding program and relevant statistical methods that used for data analysis. It's really interesting course to attend to.

    Good projects are an excellent starting point for beginners. However, they should focus more on explaining the mathematics involved, such as variance, covariance, and distance functions. It's important to explain the roles of these functions in K-Means clustering and how to use them effectively.

    Level of difficulty of assessments is quite unbalanced. End of week summative assessments are merely a compilation of the practice quizzes within the week, does not really test my understanding. For the programming assignments, the first one was quite trivial while the rest were challenging.

    The course was useful for me until the fifth week. I think the videos of the last week are very useless and uninformative, so disappointed about the waste of time. I would advise the last lecturer to work on his material, and not just read the assignment

    It teaches how to do it, but the editing could be better and the evaluation of the model could be deeper. This course suits better absolute beginners.

    All the statistics and k-Means algorithms are well explained, but there is much missing guidance on how to conduct the final project.

    Mathematics taught is very abstract. Not many practice examples and linkage to practical side. Not much guidance on guided projects.
