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 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.

Nice course to start with though it requires some basic knowledge of Python syntax given that it was pretty well balanced course. Good tutor and nice course content.

Fantastic course with challenging assignments. Wish there were more handouts to explain some of the key concepts and the grader was better informative of the errors.

Very time consuming, and difficult especially when your a freshman in high-school. Besides that, very informative and fun. Good luck with Regex, and cleaning files!

That was so good. Because it forces you to learn how to code functional, which is so important I think and also a lot of things that you need in data science field.

The assignment were too good as it would test your knowledge and make to think on how to clean the data sets do manipulation and run descriptive statistics on them.

It is very hard to complete without talking to other students. The staff is doing a great job in the forum, but the lack of talking is making the course very hard.

Extremely challenging -- I'd spend about 10 hours per assignment but definitely well worth it! Stack Overflow and the discussion forum will be your key to success!

Great course despite of a tiny mismatch between auto-grader and details in assignment description. One has to submit 100% to pass with 80%. Definitely recommended.

Great course, quite a steep learning curve with regards Pandas, but well worth the effort. Assignments are very effective at helping embed and expand the learnings

I only audited this course, but it is great. Initially it was a little difficult for me to follow but once I read some basics of pandas and numpy, it became clear.
