This small project format was great for focusing in on 1 subject area (Lambda Functions) to provide enough examples to both practice the technique and illustrate the breadth of applications for lambda functions. My proficiency is using lambda functions has definitely improved to a good working level now. The instructor spoke clearly and accurately. I will surely take many more of these short Project "classes" on several other topics.
Where, Why, and How of Lambda Functions in Python

In this project we are going to learn about lambda expressions and it's application in python. We are going to start with what is Lambda expression and how we can define it, comparing lambda functions with regular functions in python and at the end we will learn how to use lambda functions for data manipulation and exploration in pandas. this guided-project is completely beginner friendly. you only need to have basic knowledge of python programming and some experience coding in Jupyter notebook environment.

Reviewed Jan 19, 2022This is one of the best explained guided projects that I have finished on Coursera. It is enough to get the basics and to carry on on your own. The instructor is explaining everything in detail and there are also exercises that you can do on your own and verify the solution afterwards. I honestly recommend this project, it is ideal for beginners.

Reviewed Apr 4, 2025It was a fantastic project. Before I enrolled in it, I struggled a lot with dealing with lambda in different settings. The instructor teaches thoroughly to understand the rule and the concept of Lambda. I highly recommend it!

Reviewed May 16, 2022Nice short intro to lambda. My big bug though is that the lecturer mixes up filter out with filter on
This gets really confusing and means Quiz Q7 needs to be answered with the opposite of the correct answer.
Filter out means to remove all values that meet a criteria, filter on means to keep only those values that meet the criteria.
Filtering OUT evens from a series of numbers, your resluting dataset is the odd numbers. Filtering ON even numbers discards the odds and leaves you with the evens.
The lecturer uses filter out when he means filter on.
