    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...

    I am going for the specialization and I know this is just the second course in it and I haven't even seen the further courses yet, but this is already my most favourite course in the specialization.

    It's provides both the theory and principles behind great visualizations as well as the practical experience needed to learn to build these visualizations.

    Excellent introduction to matplotlib. The course also covers some philosophy behind creating good graphics, and teaches you how to spot misleading graphs.

    Very comprehensive and challening course on plotting, both from a theoretical point of view (how to plot) and practical (how to code and improve plots)

    Really interesting course. Most of the course out there are only technical, about programming. This is about effective design, effective visualization.

    It's good introduction. Esp with architecture of the lib. But the final assignment is not as said before as a deeper dive into source code of the lib.

    Very good and insightful. A lot of studying and researching to complete the course. Still by far the best graphing course using programming languages.

    It was not only the technical part of plotting I enjoyed a lot but the discussions and readings regarding principles of how a graph should look like.

    Great course, it would have been better If the course material delved deeper into what kind of plots will be useful when looking at a fresh problem

    Very good course! Particularly useful - and very essential to my view - that all the assignments are hands on and based on "real" cases!

    This is a good class as it builds on what you learned in the first class. I feel that I know have a better understanding of dataframes.
