    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 an...

    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

    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 level of lectures is unacceptable. Everything is strictly read from paper to the camera. All of the skills I've got were thanks to my own online research, as the explanaition of the lecturer was horrible.

    Worst course I strongly recommend not going through course. Here the code is executed and he tells briefly and the assignments are the things which come in ahead topics. Not to mention the grader has issues.

    Why didn't you taught the stuff you meant to give in the assessments, if one had to learn independently you could've provided with assignments only. Also too much rush during the programming tutorial.

    I am spending more time to deal with auto grader issues than learn something. This is so frustrating despite having good course contents. Frustrating and waste of my time and effort and money.

    This the worst course that I have ever seen. The instructors do not teach anything. I have experience with Python programming and I dropped the course at the first week. Its a waste of time.

    Very awful experience!

    Compared with python 3 programming specialization, this first course's assignment is too difficult for student to handle, and less practices to handle these knowledges.

    This is the worst experience ever

    The instructor is speaking too fast in a monotunic, and the code he's writing is in too fast pace without caring to give the learner the time to follow up

    The instructor is the embodiment of monotony - adding to that, his lecutres are lacklustre, uninformative, and the student has to live and breathe on stack overflow for every assignment.

    Lessons were ok but the assignments were really frustrating, not because of the questions itself but because the questions were organised badly or were really vague and confusing.

    The instructor in the course is just performing on his own and just reciting the script. He simply does not teach. I think this course should be omitted from coursera platform.

    Horrible experience with the course. The instructor just reads out from a script and the speed is horrible. The assignments are so hard, and its not even taught in the course.

    Not much practice work, one will easily forget the concepts. The mentor speaks and types too fast, most of the time you will lag behind. Its like someone is reading a book.

    The course contents are great but the instructors are not. I struggled a lot and had to watch a lot of tutorials from other places and finally I learned the contents.

    Explanations are superficial, and it relies too heavily on self-learning. For that I can simply check Python's documentation without paying the course's monthly fee.

    There is no helpful guide to the tasks, you don't know the results in advance so you don't know if you are doing well or not.

    Tedious and you don't learn anything.

    way too fast. A 30 minute session takes over an hour to understand as the lecturer just flies through it and the assignmentss and quizess are way too difficult.

    Course material was presented pretty simply without examples that related to the programming assignments. Didn't provide me with the tools I wanted it to.

    Corrupted or outdated data in week 3 and week 4. Hidden tests that fail and you can't get the reason...

    Besides of that - the material given is good

    The assignment is lack of information. The data provide is not match with the data definition. How can we finish a 202 page PDF for 1 assignment?

    The pacing for the course is horrendous, this class quickly becomes impossible to do without looking up answers as the lectures do not help at all

    The Course is too general, not going into details of how codes should be written. In order to pass the assignments you need to separately study.

    Unclear assignments, lectures are brief and sometimes unclear. Spent more time trying to understand what was being asked than actually learning.
