About the Course

This course will introduce the learner to the basics of the python programming environment, including fundamental python programming techniques such as lambdas, reading and manipulating csv files, and the numpy library. The course will introduce data manipulation and cleaning techniques using the popular python pandas data science library and introduce the abstraction of the Series and DataFrame as the central data structures for data analysis, along with tutorials on how to use functions such as groupby, merge, and pivot tables effectively. By the end of this course, students will be able to take tabular data, clean it, manipulate it, and run basic inferential statistical analyses. This course should be taken before any of the other Applied Data Science with Python courses: Applied Plotting, Charting & Data Representation in Python, Applied Machine Learning in Python, Applied Text Mining in Python, Applied Social Network Analysis in Python....

Fantastic course that I learned alot from. The assignments were tougher than I expected, and it was a great way to really groke the concepts. My only criticism was that the auto-grader wasn't great.

It's very useful specially for new learner because it only dives into the part of python that data science need. I strongly recommend to anyone even if you don't have experience in programming before.

Too much focus on databases and database operations, rather than data science.

The assignments are too difficult for a 4 week course.

Assignments were not clearly documented, causing lot of time spent in understanding the requirements than implementing a solution.

The course is very fast-paced and explanations are not clear neither detailed, it looks like instructors are just doing formality

This is a poorly taught course which tells you to go away and teach yourself data science rather than teaching you data science.

Very little explanation on how the libs actually work. Assignments cover stuff that sometimes is not even lectured.

Videos are too fast and the assignments are barely dependent on the videos. Had to spend a lot of time on Google.

Need clearer examples and explanations. Slides summing up concepts or used functions will be great.
