The course doesn't really develop an understanding of Data Management and Visualization outside of the context of SAS or Python syntax. Also there are a number of points throughout the course that would benefit from an update most particularly the initial documentation to get started with SAS. The LIBNAME in the downloadable PDF is incorrect and it took me a significant amount of effort to identify and resolve the error since I was unfamiliar with the process.

This course states that it is for people with no knowledge in SAS. I had to go online elsewhere to learn SAS before completing this course. There are free SAS tutorials on the SAS webpage - I highly recommend completing them before trying this course.

I came into this course after getting a rough idea about data analysis (from the IBM introduction courses), and this definitely adds on to the experience. The instructors make sure that the student is conceptually sound by the end of the course. Highly recommended.

I wanted to do the whole specialization this course is a part of, but the forums are inactive and questions go unanswered... You're also at the mercy of peer reviewers, who may grade unfairly if there are technical difficulties, and who may not grade you in a timely manner. (Or they don't submit their assignments so you can grade them in a timely manner.) The videos have WAY too much B-roll and not enough visual aids.

I am a beginning Python coder and took this class to expand my Python knowledge, and I have a science background so I understand a lot of the math going on here, but I don't think this course would be a good choice for anyone without familiarity with Python. Perhaps if I'd taken the SAS route with the intention of learning SAS I would've had a different experience.

It's an excellent course. I have learnt so much this period

Thanks so much

This course has taught me how to manage and visualize data. Many coding knowledge are very useful I learnt from this course.

To sum up this course in one word - 'Hopeless'. Please don't take it. There are better ones available on Coursera.

Great Course! More information on Panda would have been better.

Very helpful for beginners

The course is good, although it goes a little to fast.

great course, excellent course material

It's easy and helpful

I enjoyed every bit of ot

Awesome!

Great course to learn the basics of Python and SAS programming.

I loved it. I would highly recommend this course for persons looking to learn python or SAS programming.

Thank you Coursera team for providing such a wonderful platform.

Great course you will learn skills you can actually apply.

Lays a good foundation for initiating a research assignment, as well as cleaning and visualizing data.

This course was a great one, i had no know of python when i started, during the course i was a able to run my first python program. I really learnt a lot.

Felt like a lot of the lessons were more about just following the directions or structure of the videos and not really learning the actual language of SAS or Python and how to be creative with it. I feel like I know how to use them at this point, but only for the specific commands we were instructed on. However, material is clear and easy to follow. I am not a fan of the overall Coursera structure of peer graded assignments because it seems pretty arbitrary or you may do the work and just not get the right number of reviewers and then you're screwed.

The course was very helpful for me to learn on hands-on data analysis with python. Thank You!

I'M only 5 and i do not understand what x=x+5 means so make the quiz eazyer thx

Great Beginner course. I didn't really know anything about Data analysis and this gave me a really easy and great way to start learning

This was a great course for beginners in Python. I found all the videos to be detailed and helpful in understanding the code and programming in Python

Amazing classes. I suggest to take Python to code with data. Later you can go on with machine learning

This is a great course for beginners. The course instructors have arranged the course at a very comfortable pace and this is a great beginning point for anyone who wants to learn SAS or Python.
