Great course, make sure you are comfortable in Python before diving in. Covers basic DataFrame work including cleaning, generating new data from existing data, and how to execute merge/join/update.

Quizzes were very challenging and interesting. I learned alot. The main drawback in this course is that the materials are insufficient to answer the assignments.And some questions were not so clear.
