I have to say, just watching a video and then answering a question is not very interactive, and has made it hard for me to keep engaging with the course.
When I was doing the certification projects for Scientific Computing with Python in December, I was interested in progressing with my project. Still, lately, I’ve been dreading or uninterested in watching one more video of this guy going through a Jupyter notebook.
Another thing I disliked about it is that the “exercises” already have the answers in them.
I searched for this link in Reddit and found someone recommending a FreeCodeCamp course on Data Analysis with Python with Jovian, it supposedly being more interactive (you do have to pay for submitting assignments), but I was able to see the assignments, so it might be useful in case someone wants more practice and hands-on things to do.
I think I won’t switch courses halfway, I don’t want to get stuck in tutorial hell.
So I finished the Data Analysis with Python course on FCC. I have to say, the certification projects may have some library usages that were not displayed on the videos for the course (as of today). One example is scikit’s linregress: you won’t see an explanation on that, but you’ll be required to do a linear regression, good luck if you have no math background in functions.
