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....

This is the practical course.There is some concepts and assignments like: pandas, data-frame, merge and time. The asg 3 and asg4 are difficult but I think that it's very useful and improve my ability.

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

The assignment wordings are ambiguous. Clear instructions are needed with a sample of the end product showing data type/format/shape.

Muy completo el curso, pero los assignments no concordaban completamente con lo visto en los videos (su dificultad era mucho mayor).

If technical points can be explained in more details, the course will be more attractive. Overall, it's a very fantastic experience.

I had to rely on the feedback from the forum for the final week's homework. It was impossible without reading everyone's questions.

Very good course to manipulate data with python. My only issue is that the assignments need to be elaborate or described in better.

My review is actually 4.5, which I cannot enter. Would rate as 5, but unclearness of the final assignment made it too frustrating.

The assignments were pretty good, making one to go advanced into python. The teaching could be bit slower paced with more content.

All the ingredients are there, but it would be nice to have more hand-holding given the ramp-up in difficulty in only a few weeks.

I loved the assignments but the video lectures lack all the info needed to do the assignments. assignments require self learning.

over all good content, assignments were good, one thing i find it hard is pacing, it's sometimes too fast, but it is worth taking

programming assignments and quizzes were tedious. I think best way to learn syntax is generally learn by doing. Class was decent

Course could have been taught with some more depth and focus given on covering more concepts. Otherwise the curriculum was good.

I gues is important give more estructures to the student, i think a little cheatsheet of python is very useful for the students.
