This isn't a course for beginners. You shall be familiarised with Python, at least. The pace is excellent and the assignments are challenging. If you wanna improve your abilities with Pandas and Python, I recommend you this course.

THE COURSE WAS ONE OF THE VERY BEST COURSE I EVER HAD , THE LESSONS ARE VERY INTERESTING AND ALSO THE ASSIGNMENTS ARE VERY WELL FRAMED , WITH A VERY INTERMEDIATE KNOWLEDGE IN PYTHON ONE CAN TAKE THIS COURSE WITH OUT ANY HESITATION.

Excellant course! Though I found that Week 2 content was not very clear. I felt that there should me more information on dataframes and series because it would be easier to understand then. Overall a very good experience. Thank You

This course made a lot of fun and allows to work in an open style with problems.

For an unexpierienced python programmer it's to hard. When you have experience, it's a lot of fun.

Thanks Christopher Brooks for the excellent course.

Nice Course I learn so many topics on the introduction to data science in python as in python course covered the all python topics from basic to advance after that NumPy and panda course topics also good.

I loved this course.

Thanks

I learned a great deal of the fundamental python. It's a good refresher course for someone who has some python/programming experience or an absolute beginner. I recommend this course to someone who wants to use python on projects.

I enjoyed the course very much. I would like to suggest though that solutions to assignments could be unblocked or a video explaining the main points in the assignment and the pandorable way to do it.Thanks for the course,Benigno.

A hands on course on the basic tools needed to process data from experiments, web data, etc. The final assignment demands everything learned througout the course and it's a perfect example for what one would face on a daily basis.

Dr. Chuck (the instructor) is very thorough and detailed in his explanation of concepts.

Since the target audience is individuals who do not have/ have a little background in programming, the speed is ideal.

Assignments are helpful

Even if you know nothing about Data Science with Python, this course is a great place to start. Videos are concise and Assignments are elaborate. It took me more than the hours mentioned but it was a great learning experience. :)

It is quite challenging, I think learner with moderate initiative / motivation might not be able to complete this course. There lots of Googling and Stackoverflow needed to solve almost all assignment, especially 3rd and 4th one.

I am really grateful to coursera for giving me the oppourtunity to complete introduction to datascience with python,the lectures were really very helpful ,they helped a lot in clearing the concepts of numpy ,pandas,datetime etc.

This course is an amazing introduction to the potential uses of Python in Data Science. You do need to know some basic Python before starting (your life will be easier), but the lectures are really good (self learning required).

A truly awesome course. More than enough to get you started with Data Analysis and Pandas. The updated course is more comprehensive but is a bit more towards the tougher side. Still it is very efficient to get the ball rolling.

Awesome course, it provided me just right amount of difficulty. It focuses more on self learning but the faculties support you when you are stuck in very short time. Glad i took this course. I can suggest this course to anyone.

Everything is good, specifically for the beginners, right from the delivering the content to forming the assignments and the quick assistance to the queries.

I would like to thanks Christopher Brooks for such a great experience.

An ideal course to start off your Data Science with Python journey. Some of the important topics are not covered in-depth. Learners will have to refer to external notes, documentation to get better understanding of the content.

I learned a lot about Pandas having this class being my introduction to it, but needs to be upgraded. And not only did I learn about Pandas but also about troubleshooting code which also led to a better understanding of Pandas.

Great course!!!! The explanations and lectures are really helpful and the forum discussions are interesting, but the main feature is certainly the assignments, really challenging but at the same time a real learning experience!

This has been a eye opening experience, it allows you to thing about normal life and the way we handle data differently, the course is very bast to be an introduction level but I didn't mind it at all, I'm happy it is this way.

This class was super useful. I had a minimal amount of base Python under my belt and some data analysis in R, but this course really got me off the ground using the pandas data analysis library for Python and Jupyter notebooks.

Fantastic course. Quite challenging but it is really worth for people looking to learn python and some of the key concepts in data science. I definitely will continue with the following python courses part of the specialization

I really enjoyed this course, I got some Pandas and Numpy skills. in particular i liked the way as the professor explain. I understood the concept of data science and this gives the motivation to learn more about data science.

I found this course amazing. I learnt a lot of stuff from basics and it helped me understand from the scratch. I learnt numpy, pandas and python programming and I am looking forward for another course from the same instructor.

Great introduction course. Certainly challenging. The forum is particularly helpful in not just helping you get clarity towards the answer, but also seeing how other code might be structured to be more efficient than your own.
