Quizzes were very challenging and interesting. I learned alot. The main drawback in this course is that the materials are insufficient to answer the assignments.And some questions were not so clear.

The course is good but the oral explanations are at times very tiresome. A more constructive approach in which the explanations are followed by step-by-step examples whould be far better.Best regards

I thought this was course was good, and was fairly challenging for an online-only course. I thought the lectures could have been a little longer to ensure proper coverage of materials and functions.

The course had helped in understanding the concepts of NumPy and pandas. The assignments were so helpful to apply these concepts which provide an in-depth understanding of the Numpy as well as pandans

Um curso intenso e bastante prazeroso. Gostei de todas as etapas, os videos funcionam bem e estão construidos numa base introdutória, mas o desafio é pesquisar e pesquisar. Muito interessante mesmo!

This course is extremely challenging for me I was practicing data wrangling with R which is not a lot different in concepts but it gets very tricky especially with indexing.Thanks for the Experience!

Christopher Brooks was exceptional but the other guy was going too fast.Overall it was a good course. The assignments weren't too tough but the assignment's language made it unnecessarily look tough.

Excellent excellent course! The instructor explains very well and video lectures are typically 5-10min only- very good bite-sites! Assignments are well-designed and you are working with real data!

The assessments, quizzes, and course coverage are quite good. The main points are covered, although it does not cover everything. Additionally, it provides opportunities to learn and conduct research.
