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....

It's very useful specially for new learner because it only dives into the part of python that data science need. I strongly recommend to anyone even if you don't have experience in programming before.

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.

Even after taking the beginning course before this, I felt like this course assumed you knew python beforehand.

The auto-grader is a bit of a pain. But forums were very helpful and generally the assignments are interesting

Pace too fast. Sometimes the explanation is unclear about the syntax and functions. Not good for starters!

Good intro, with a little too much time spent on regex, but ok. Good teacher and easy to view material.

The explanation was very brief. Not much detail explanation and example. Need to explore more by myself.

Self- Teaching required too much. Feels as though you don't need the course and can achieve on own.
