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....

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.

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

Great material, but the lectures go extremely fast and have no external notes. The last assignment is way out of scope.

Many thanks.

A good starting point, but as it is explicitly mentioned it doesn't teach much math for stats but overall pretty good.

There was a lack of practical excercises after every video. I would better prefer more smaller tasks during the week.

Most assignments required individual learning. Not much was covered in the lectures. I relied on the book I'm having.

It needs more examples of how things are done, so that all new key concepts are grasped before leaving for the next.

I would give 5 stars if the developers update to the latest version of pandas. It was a bit annoying to use 0.19.2

Pace of lectures is rather fast and doesn't fit to homework level (which is much harder). But overall course is OK

Should have more detailed docs as resources, mainly about Pandas. Something like the weekly notebooks elaborated.
