    This course is excellent! I found it to be a valuable introduction to data science, covering essential concepts in a clear and engaging manner. The hands-on approach, particularly the final project, provided practical experience that boosted my confidence. Highly recommended for anyone starting their data science journey.

    Great course. The best part in this course is that there are quizzes after every video. This makes this course very interesting. You can immediately test whatever you learned in the video via the quizzes. Next, the tutors are very knowledgeable ,clear and to the point. So, you don't get a chance to get bored.

    A very enjoyable course that has opened my eyes to data science. Not coming from a data / mathematical background is not a huge drawback, but be prepared to read around the subject matter if you want to gain a better appreciation of the course slides and videos. Very happy that I found this course.

    I think this is a very good course for beginners in Data Science and Python. I know how to implement K-means algorithm but wanted to learn Python, so I took this course. It is well organized, and videos are short and concise. I am looking forward to more intermediate / advanced courses of this.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the course. The tutors were great and the videos were of excellent quality. As a novice in Python, this course gave me a gentle yet sufficient introduction to the basics of Python along with some of its powerful packages: Pandas, NumPy&Matplotlib and Scikit-learn.

    Great course. It involves a lot of independent work but that is the nature of learning to programme in any language. Once you get down to doing the work the course is enjoyable and the learning curve is steep and therefore productive. Time well invested

    I enjoy and learn a lot in this data science course. I used Python in my algorithm courses several years ago, but this is my first data science course. I studied nearly everyday and completed in four weeks. The topics are practical and interesting.

    Week 3 is a bit difficult for those who don't have a strong maths background. More explanation on the mathematics notations can be helpful.
