practice using the Python tools for predictive analytics and the topics
of predictive analytics are part of a more general course on Data
Science with Python that he teaches online.

The program was well taught. I got more than the value for my money. I now have key insights into data analytics with python tools. I believe I'm ready to take up data analysis projects where I can apply the skills I've gained.
By Rahul Gurave on 11/9/2020
Explain few more useful methods and few more real example on Numpy and Pandas.That will be more helpful to learners.
By Peter Kuralt on 10/4/2020
Decent introductory course. Nevertheless it lacks some practical challenges, more in-depth explanation of certain topics. Good for those who want to grasp basics of the field but not for those with higher expectatios.
By Mirian Carrillo on 9/23/2020
I like the course. The owner explain clearly and don't use a lot of time, he go to the point.
By Sameer Girkar on 9/3/2020
The course is really nice. I felt it would have been really great if some more details on statistics is shared in the course rather than high level overview but overall the course is really nice and touches most of the important aspects.
By Rico Ngo on 9/1/2020
It was good to refresh my statistical skills and get introduced to Python. In general, a good introduction course. However, not all codes were working and you have to debug in the meanwhile. It is not super nice, but then again, you learn more from it.
By Leonid Kostin on 8/22/2020
It was a good course overall with a clear explanation. There were a couple of times I needed to find the dataset on my own, but still it's a good practice.

Needs to be more practical and not only read a document

I really love to take part of this python journey
By Boby Singh on 7/16/2020
Yeah.! It was Great.
By Valentina Nappo on 6/15/2020
Mostly well explained but it is not interactive at all, there are no exercises or assessments. There are free courses that are equally well or even better designed.
