Data Cleaning and Preprocessing with Pandas Missing Content

Hello,
There seems to be an error in the Data Cleaning and Preprocessing with Pandas course because the Data Cleaning only has a single video so there's absolutely no Data Cleaning in the course which I believe it is likely a technical glitch. If its not a glitch then I am really disappointed with the Quality of the Course as no data cleaning has been taught.

Hi Rolando!

Thanks for reaching out.

The course is very much about data cleaning, so I suppose there has been a misunderstanding that, of course, we'd like to clarify!
To ensure we are on the same page, are you referring to the following video, please:
https://learn.365datascience.com/courses/data-cleaning-preprocessing-pandas/data-cleaning-and-data-preprocessing/ ?
If yes, then please consider this video only as a clarification about the terms data cleaning and data preprocessing, as they may be sometimes used interchangeable, although they do have their own meaning.
That said, the pandas library is to a great extent used for data cleaning. Therefore, every single lecture from this course contributes to your arsenal with data cleaning tools. That is not all - we intend to upload more pandas-related content in the future.

Hope this helps but please feel free to get back to us should you need further assistance. Thank you.
Best,
Martin

Then I suggest that the title of the course be changed as its intentionally misleading. A better course title would be introduction to Pandas.

Hi Rolando!

Thanks for your reply.

The course is indeed about using pandas for Data Cleaning and Preprocessing. Introduction to pandas is only one of the relevant sections regarding the use of pandas for Data Cleaning. Otherwise, in certain situations, data cleaning and preprocessing can be applied through different tools, such as NumPy.
Nevertheless, thank you very much for your suggestion. We will discuss the title of the course on our end and consider updating it.

Kind regards,
Martin

As Rolando Franqui Nadal I am also missing the cleaning and preprocessing part. I did this course as a repetition after working with pandas for nearly three years, I learned some new things which was exactly the reason to start from the scratch. But the course concentrated much to much on addressing specific information, but it actually never cleaned any data, changed datatypes, used a lambda function to map a new column, iterated through the data, aggregated no data ...
