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 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 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 instructor just reads the notes in front of the camera. The lectures are boring and uninspired. I do not recommend this course

you end up learning a lot by the end but the assignments require a lot more self-learning than what was provided in the lectures.

Assignments should relate to what is discussed in class, too much of what is in assignments is not clearly explained in the class

Content was excellent but pace was fast and gave a feel of robotic lecture as the code in jupyter was also flowing like anything

I liked the first course more. I think that the content was not explained as well as Dr. Chuck did in the introductory course.

The videos are good but aren´t sufficient to teach ways to do the assigments, this way assigments bring in hard things to do

if you are a beginner, this course consumes a large amount of time.

Though it is helpful, you need more efforts than thought

The assignment 3 is a nightmare, hopefully anyone will replace it with something more interesting, and useful for learning

I think the method of the instructor was quite bookish and not explanatory. it felt like he was reading it out of a book.

Great course! However, it requires a little independent learning and the assignments take a very long time to complete.

Things required in assignments could be mentioned.

If language could be made a little bit easier, then it would help!
