This course does a very poor job of actually teaching the concepts presented in it. There is a lot of "copy/paste" instruction, with almost no explanation of what is being done or why, at either the technical level (i.e. why are calling this function or method) or a the theoretical level (i.e. why a visualization or data interaction is useful). It does touch on a many basic foundation for interacting with data (which is the only reason I'm not giving it 1 star), but from an actual instruction perspective, this the worst courses I have finished on Coursera.

Great course! The lectures focus on the hands-on application of analytics techniques; with slides of theory and math kept to a minimum. The quizzes are of easy to moderate difficulty, and help reinforce the concepts learnt in the lecture. The material of the course will be of interest to anyone who enjoys extracting insights from data, even if you aren't much of a sports fan. I’m excited for the next course in the specialization!

Overall it was a good course. It covers the basic of Sports Analytics and it has a lot of good examples and datasets.

Me parece un excelente curso para un primer vistazo sobre como analizar el rendimiento tanto individual como de equipo en deportes, me pareció muy interesante mezclar habilidades de ciencia de los datos junto con mis gustos por los deportes.

Great material and well paced for people working. One instructor is a bit green though.

Experience in Python is needed.

Great course. Although this course focuses on sports analysis, the analyzing process I learned from it can apply to any other areas of analysis.

Complete and accessible course for everybody who wants to experience how statistics and econometrics can be used in sports contexts.

Best course to interact with data representation programming and libraries, especially for the great sports fan.

I've never been more excited of doing a regression model in my life! Amazing content.

An excellent way to get hands-on experience exploring sports data in Python/R

excelente forma de aprender

Great foundational course!

Great !

perfect

Good!

Excellent course on how data analytics can be used in the world of sports.

I learned a lot from this course

Some lectures seem to be unnecessary as they are repetitions of same concepts on different datasets.

too basic

The course content was intriguing. However, it definitely needs updating. There are times where assignment instructions are incomplete, or there are discrepancies between what is shown in the lecture and what is in the notebooks. There are also times where what is in the assignment quizzes doesn't match up with the actual data in the assignment notebooks.

I didn't get a lot out of some of the weeks, as it felt like the instructor was just reading word for word what was written in the notebooks, not adding any additional commentary or explanation. Furthermore, I wish they would have dove deeper into some of the statistics and math behind some of the concepts they showed. They would introduce a concept a lot of times, but not explain what it meant or how it related to other concepts we had learned.

very high level course

Directions are not clear when working on programing assignments and quizzes.

I hate it
