Good class and the topics covered are great. Challenging and useful. The lectures are a little light on detailed information and some text or deeper/more detailed lectures would make this perfect. You will spend a lot of time looking for things to support what you learn to really get an understanding.

Videos are great and easy to learn. Forums are great and help with guidance. Improvements would be: better ways to debug your code and more importantly your results. Your code may get results but its not clear what is incorrect on them. Overall UofM produces some of the best work. Great professors!

one of the hardest deadlines I ever did, missing some more hints for where the error is,

but really powerful makes you think in different ways as if you a real data scientist, I liked it

and I recommend it even if you were old in the field of data science, this course will really

make you try your best.

I commend the quality of the course and am very thankful to the instructors for developing the contents of the course.

My only suggestion would be to align the lectures better to suit the level of the assignments so that people who don't have a strong programming background can keep up with the course.

The course was brilliant. It tried to cover a lot of aspects in a short span. The only thing that was not good was lack of explanation of the datasets & tasks provided in the assignment. Clarity in the expected output was not there as a result of which correct assignment submission became difficult.

The course poses itself as a good brief introduction to make you more comfortable at approaching data science project. Recommended time would be 1-2 weeks. However, point deduced for the hassle with auto grader! I also hope that the project could involve people Skyping or collaborating in some way!

Not for beginners.

Level of difficulty increase very fast.

You need to dig external reference sites and use discussion forums in order to figure out some assignments requirements.

Overall quality is very good.

Should have some better tips and validation scripts in order to help debugging assignments.

Solid intro to Python for DataScience purposes. Definitely requires a lot of independent research and it's sometimes nearly impossible to achieve the assignment on the first go (everything is rated automatically, so even a slight deviation from the requirement format will lead to an initial fail).

This was an informative and challenging course. I definitely learnt a lot, and would recommend anyone with some previous pandas and numpy experience to take it! The only downside for me was understanding the question, I spent more time trying to understand what I had to do than actually doing it.

Please make the lecture materials more thorough. The assignments are very difficult and most of the time require learning from other sources rather than this course. I have sent more than 8 hours per assignment since I had to learn a lot of materials outside this course to answer those questions.

The duration of videos is very small compared to the time needs to be spent to solve the assignments. There is a huge gap between what is taught and what is asked.Being a working professional with limited amount of time difficult assignments tends to reduce motivation to continue with the course.

The assignments are not well-prepared, TAs did really really good job though on clarifying vague concepts in discussion group. I expected to read assignments and complete them without digging discussion forums.

All in all it was a good class to learn new materials, but it is challenging though.

I really enjoyed this course, and gained a tremendous amount of knowledge about how to use python for data science (specifically how to work with pandas). I feel like there was a lot of advanced material, which is good, but makes the course quite challenging for an introductory level course.

Steep learning curve, I learned a lot. Unfortunately the prepearation for the assignments was not as good as expected, though I read the readings, but the quizzes were ok. It would be nice to get the solutiions after finishing the course successfully, to gain insights into elegant solutions.

Quite challenging if you don't have alittle background in Python. Assignment is hard and time-consuming. The issue is the grader is old and sometimes I had to be forced to change my code for the grader to work. A lot of reseach and google if one wants to understand the logic behind the code.

It's difficult as an intro to this science, I suffered so much to understand the codes and It forced me to take a small course about the libraries like Numpy and Pandas, I wish if this course more simply than it's.

At all, Thank you so much for your effort, I wish all of you the best forever.

Assignments and project were good and give you enough opportunities to self-learn a lot of data processing and cleaning tools. However the course video content does not really teach you much or in places, can leave you confused. Be prepared to spend a lot of time going through stackexchange.

It was a great experience ! When I started this course I was not familiar with any of the terms used in data science but during the course of 4 weeks , I not only learnt new skills but also a got familiar with all the terminologies.

It also helped me to improve my coding skills in Python .

Course is designed well and the tutor's response is prompt. (Yusuf thanks for your splendid support throughout the course!). There are some minor issues with the grader software but that can be resolved by checking the forums where students and tutors advise how to prevent autograder bugs.

amazing course great help with the introduction and great explanations.

sometimes jupiter grader gave me bad grades for no apparent reason, after i reloaded it was fine, it held me back a while because you are trying to understand if it is the you who got the question wrong or the grader.

I thought it was a good course because I learned a lot, but the assignments were much harder than expected. You have to rely a lot on looking at Stack Overflow and sometimes the functions you needed wouldn't be taught until the "next week". Other than that, I really enjoyed the course.

Very good courses for me. Really understanding data science and how to operating python to clean data. And how to have a hypothesis test for our model. But this course is a little simple for me, and not to include some algorithms for data clean and some knowledges for machine learning.

Good at setting up the framework for the assignments. Google/stackoverflow is your friend. The course materials presents the information but you will have to go and actively learn a good amount of material. I enjoyed this approach but some may be looking for a more contained course.

Good and challenging course, though it's mainly self "figure" as the lectures don't really explain things in a way from which you can build a framework. They mainly provide a few concepts and hints for the questions. Perhaps that's good. At times the assignment questions lack context.

It is useful, but there are some notable flaws. My biggest problems were with the clarity of the assignment questions (some were unacceptably vague) and the feedback that the autograder gives. Fortunately, fellow classmates on the forums are extremely helpful in figuring this all out.
