Good introduction to the workflow in EDA for ML. I appreciate the code examples that provide a useful reference to code syntax and some practice with EDA.

The course includes hands-on exercises that allows us to apply the learned EDA techniques to real-world data. This practical approach helps solidify my understanding.

Excellent, very detailed. However, if the lessons can be expand for hypothesis testing and some of their common test like T test, Anova 1 and 2 way, chi square,..it would be better further.
