Towardsdatascience

I get your point though, but with how the courses are set up there is really no need to study at all. My first class was multiple choice test I studied for, every thing else was performance assessments. I'm already proficient in python and sql from work, so it was just a matter of looking up an example of how/when to use certain libraries and I jumped straight into the assessment part (medium.com and towardsdatascience.com carried me). Aside from two of them, I passed them all the first time and for the two I didn't, it was basically something tiny I overlooked and could be fixed with adding a couple sentences. The whole degree was a breeze. I will give them credit though, the information and assignments were relevant for industry work. I have a friend who is a data scientist that went over the curriculum and basically said this is all stuff he learned or did for work.
