Respond to a Review

Responses should answer questions and address concerns raised in the review or clarify information about your school. Once we authenticate that you are an official school representative, we will publish your response under the corresponding review. Each review is limited to one response, but you may submit a new response to replace the previous one. Please restrict comments to addressing the content of the review in question and refrain from including advertising/promotional material or unrelated exchanges. Official representatives will have the option to make a contact email available, but please avoid directing users from our site through other means.

Anonymous The curriculum is reasonable and the exercise format is good. But the code running platform is rather slow. If you are trying to use the virtual machine on line, you at least will have a lot of ample time to get water breaks. Most exercises could be easily executed locally, but some use data setup that is not visible to the end user so those exercises may behoove the student to use the platform environment. Also, your code may not run the same between the local and DataQuest environment. As of June 2020, they are using 2017 released versions of Python3 and Pandas. In my experience, the community moderators are not helpful about platform issues, either providing no answer, non-answers or long defensive lectures. I would hesitate to pay full price for this platform, but the preference for hand-on coding vs video learning does make it good value.
