Member-only story
Over a year ago, when I decided to begin studying data science, I enrolled in Coursera’s Data Analysis with Python course. At the time I did not even know what a Jupyter Notebook was, so I watched the videos and answered the quiz questions for the course. Fast forward a year and a bit later, I came across the course and decided it would be a good time to retake the course. I am happy to say that I performed much better on the course the second time around. Because I am more knowledgeable of data analysis, I thought it would be a propitious time to write a course review on this course:-
Week 1
Week one involved creating datasets. A dataset about used automobiles was used as the basis for the lesson. The dataset can be found in the UCI page, but I was able to find this dataset on the Kaggle website. The link to this dataset can be found here:- https://www.kaggle.com/toramky/automobile-dataset
One thing that was covered in the course was how to write python code using a db api. I personally have never used this methodology because I generally get datasets from Kaggle or download them into my Google drive. It would have been nice if the course tutors had given some real life examples to practice on.
