TOP REVIEWS FROM DATA ANALYSIS USING PYTHON

I'd like for this to be a little more in-depth. I had fun with the data visualisations. However, probably more of manipulating the data would be good.

Excellent course. Assignments /home work explaination need to be rethought. Special thanks to Jahnavi for helping through out the course.

Videos touching same theme were too short (26 sec, 1 min, etc.) and disruptive. Wish there could be more practices.

Very informative course. However lessons feel more like telling than teaching. The lecturer could go more in depth.
About the Introduction to Programming with Python and Java Specialization
This Specialization starts out by teaching basic concepts in Python and ramps up to more complex subjects such as object-oriented programming and data structures in Java. By the time learners complete this series of four courses, they will be able to write fully-functional programs in both Python and Java, two of the most well-known and frequently used programming languages in the world today.
