    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.

    I enjoyed this course, but the assignments are taking way more time to finish than recommended as you need to search the web for the different functions and practices.

    I think there should be more guidance regarding the use of the different modules. Explanations are general, short, and important details and explanations are omitted

    Some good pointers in matplotlib, covers quite a lot but goes over a range of features and tools that you can come back to.

    Assignments were a bit simplistic/easy

    It is a good course to learn the basics of plotting and data representation using Python, but could use more depth. I recommend it if you need somewhere to start.

    Some instructions need to be updated. I needed to go to the forums to get clarify the instructions of some of the assignments. Although, everything else is good.

    If there is going to be changes in the videos, I'd recommend showing the notebook environment rather than the narrators, or a small screen showing the narrator.

    I found the homework in this course very challenging. The lectures were very good I am very happy with what I learned, it just took more time than I expected.

    It was a bit difficult at first but when you start the activities, you will get to understand more of they said in the lecture! Thank you peers and mentors!

    This course taught me a lot about using matplotlib but I wish that there were more assignments so that I got experience creating a wider range of graphs.

    Good course, harder than I expected. I don't really like the peer review aspects but I think they are appropriate for these sort of graphical courses

    Good all in all - nice material, videos and python notebook with tasks. Automated validation of data part of assignments would come handy as well.

    Nice course content! Unfortunately the assignments require additional self-study that can become quite time consuming. Therefore one star less.

    Could be improved. Show more detailed instructions on commonly used methods. Have to dig through documentations to find what i need to plot.

    It makes you appreciate the design process involved in visualizations. The instructor introduces a wide variety of plots in an easy manner.

    I learned quite a lot about plotting, especially in Python. However, there was a bit too much theory (Cairos principles etc) for my taste.

    The overall content of this course is superb but I just don't like the concept of peer-reviewed submissions. That's why I remove one star

    The topics cover the basic usage of matplotlib, however, it lacks more details or this course can dig a little deeper into them.

    Very good, difficult assignments, but lecture videos are shallow and you have to study most of the material on your own.
