TOP REVIEWS FROM PYTHON PROJECT FOR DATA SCIENCE

by EYMar 9, 2021

It was cool to work on an interesting project and familiarize myself with web scraping. The labs and final were challenging, but that made it rewarding when it worked out.

by YCFeb 20, 2023

Lab works became more challenging and difficult throughout end of the course. Some tasks I've spent more than week just to find out the mistake. It is quite challenging yet fulfilling at the same time

by NAJul 20, 2022

For this course, at first i found it difficult. I tried to understand how to use all the commands. But after few practices, I was glad i able to use what commands for each question given.

by MBNov 16, 2022

The course was quite good, but there were problems with nbformat in the final assignment. Plenty of complaints can be found in the discussion channel.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Certificate?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work.
