Mostly a powerpoint presentation. It still was ok up to the assignment. Some of the instructions are flat out confusing. I spent a longer time trying to understand the instructions rather then actually performing the work. Odd that this is one of the higher rated matplotlib courses on this platform. I expected a course on matplotlib but it is HEAVY with pandas transformations. Hope your google-foo is good.

It has been a pleasure taking Chris’ Python courses. This is the third course I’ve completed, and Chris has done a fantastic job of breaking down the material in a clear, structured way. He explains the key concepts in Matplotlib and Seaborn with clarity and reinforces them through well-designed assignments that make learning more effective.

Good instruction, good exercises, good broad overview. I like how the instructor is pretty careful to say when things are his opinion; on the one hand it is great to see how an experienced data analyst uses these systems, on the other hand it is nice to know there are other options. I wish the projects were a *little* more self-guided. I also wish there was more about integration of seaborn and matplotlib. I think there should be more links to the docs or similar good resources for given lectures to allow more exploration. Recommended course. Did exactly what I hoped/expected.

This is the fourth course I took taught by Chris Bruehl. Consumed the contents with great satisfaction and highly recommend these courses for folks serious about data analysis. Having said that, it takes tremendous amount of practicing hours to get comfortable with all the minutiae for making a perfect chart.

I really appreciated all the information in the course. I learned some new tricks and found lots of the examples to be very useful. The one critique I have may be personal but I found I would have liked just a little bit more handholding, particularly with the projects. I realize in real-life the problems are very open-ended but I was sometimes at a bit of a loss to understand what the instructions wanted me to accomplish!

Excelente curso, ya sabia graficar de forma basica con plt, pero este curso me ayudo a ampliar los tipos de graficos y a poder personalizarlos mucho mas. Las explicaciones son claras, el instructor provee toda la información del curso por lo que el repaso y la solución de bugs es muy facil. Recomendado.

Prior to this course I had very limited experience working on Pandas, Matplotlib and Seaborne. However, by the end of this course, I became fairly confident in utilising what I had learnt in my work environment. This course is very balanced! An easy to follow comprehensive introductory course and a fairy technical introduction for advanced customisation. Very practical! I hope the creator will continue creating more similar courses (perhaps a part to for advanced seaborn/matplotlib)!

This was my 3rd course with Chris Bruehl and Maven Analytics. He teaches everything here what we have to know about Data viz thats what quite confusing in Pandas course but of course Its for data wrangling. Anyway, i will be waiting the 4th course. Last, sir Chris i wish you could read this. Can you give me cheatsheet you're using? I hope you dm it if you hav time. Thank you

This is my third Python course from Chris and I have gained a wealth of knowledge across the board. I know I can instantly use the skills acquired in my job. To me, that direct transferability into a real-world analytics setting, is why Maven Analytics is a cut above the rest. Looking forward to the Plotly and Dash course.
By Jay Harrison on 11/30/2022
I was hoping to find a course that would allow me to make comparisons between Python's graphics and R's ggplot2 "Grammar of Graphics" package. This course provided that by showing how to customize Matplotlib plots.
