    About the Course

    This course will introduce the learner to information visualization basics, with a focus on reporting and charting using the matplotlib library. The
    course will start with a design and information literacy perspective, touching on what makes a good and bad visualization, and what statistical
    measures translate into in terms of visualizations. The second week will focus on the technology used to make visualizations in python,
    matplotlib, and introduce users to best practices when creating basic charts and how to realize design decisions in the framework. The third
    week will be a tutorial of functionality available in matplotlib, and demonstrate a variety of basic statistical charts helping lear...

    Knowing about Tufte's principles definitely changes the way I decode and make data visualizations.

    And as to matplotlib, knowing what's under the hood takes (some of) the struggle out of my data visualization coding.

    Very hands-on and good way to practice problem-solving skills (you'll have to research ways to conquer the homework assignments such as checking Stack Overflow, course discussion forums and Python documentation)

    Aside from the obvious skills of plotting, I learned about important principals to make good data representation. At the end of the course I realized I made more comprehensible and cleaner charts that before.

    Very good course to learn the basics of plotting and many tools to create amazing charts. Only problem is the peer review which encourage so much copy and plagiarism, please find a solution for this problem.

    Demanding course, not only on Matplotlib. I appreciated that the creators designed the course more like an university seminar. It's more on data science in general than just becoming acquainted with the API.

    Very good to learn and applicate python matplotlib methods in 4 weeks. Prepare time to work if you can progress, integrate the knowledge (10 to 20 hours by week increasing if your are not python specialist)

    Excellent class, hands-on assignment really make you progress. The class builds up on the previous course (pandas).

    I felt I really learnt something that would stick and not be forgotten after a few weeks

    Inspires you to create attractive visualisations with a balanced representation, while creating something what you really want, while actively suggesting to explore the API to get to that result.

    it is a good course to help me have a glance to the data visualization area. However, I think I cannot learned a lot from the course and the homework is so easy that I haven't practice enough.

    Good course, but I think it is not deep enough. Matplotlib is quite superficial and almost nothing about Seaborn. Anyway I liked this course, but it is not as good in-depth as the previous
