Course Overview

pandas is one of today’s most celebrated data analysis libraries. A favorite of many, its versatile functionalities can be leveraged for manipulation of many types of data - numeric, text, Boolean, and more. That’s one of the features that make pandas the go-to choice for analysts, especially during the data cleaning and preprocessing stages. pandas is built on NumPy and takes advantage of its computational power and abilities. But what sets pandas apart is its ability to operate with data in an easy-to-use way, allowing you to focus almost entirely on your analytic task. In this course, you will learn how to work with this powerful Python library and its core data structures – the pandas Series and DataFrames.

I have mixed feelings on this course. The name suggests there will be some data cleaning and preprocessing done or discussed but none of that really happens. At its current state I believe 'Introduction to pandas' would be a more suitable name for the course as it discusses some of the basics of the library. I enjoyed the explanation of loc and iloc as it gave me a better understanding of them. The final rating reflects only the fact that as it stands the course seems unfinished, lacking sections on actual data cleaning and preprocessing.

very informative and useful, but packed too closely without deep explanations(unlike python programmer BootCamp) into a 2-hour module. It felt like someone reading out keyword-definition phrases(had to rewind a lot). the course is oriented on the basic usage of pandas for a career but the questions in practice exams are tricky and high-order-thinking like nowhere was it mentioned explicitly in the course that dfs can be made only by a list of lists

It's just a pity that there's no pratical project tutorial in this course, I wonder how much knowledge I can apply to a real world? The course is mainly about some basic concept of pandas, but non of them are related to data cleaning even preprocessing. Hope we have more lessons about those topic and some real world projects like we did in "Data Preprocessing with NumPy". Thank you.

I really appreciate the new information and knowledge I gained from this course; however, I wish if the quality of this course is the same as the NumPy course. for example, I wish if the instructor discussed the company load data, and data cleaning in this course. Anyway, good course and good content as usual. Thx

I'd expect a more practical approach to the topic, usage of pandas library. The structure of the course feels weird. Second chapter that has only 5 min feels like it's missing the rest 55m. I recon everyone gets the same feeling after coming here from numpy course.
