Feedback on Session 7 and 8

Open BenjaminSchwessinger opened this issue 7 years ago • 0 comments

Hi there, I took some of your material to teach into a (not-yet) carpentry style course. Thanks for putting it up it is super useful. The notebook can be found here https://github.com/BenjaminSchwessinger/ABC_python/blob/master/05022019_ABC_python_day2_session_4_with_anwsers.ipynb.

In regards to feedback. I have a couple of suggestions starting ln [11].

  • I am unclear why always print is used to display dataframes in the notebook. Might a rendering issue I am not familiar with.
  • the select-apply-combine section is pretty tense I wonder if stepping through this on one Series might be useful. See above In [46].
  • Would be great to explain the axis in pandas a bit more. ln[48] does this.
  • It would be great to show people how to generate a new column in the dataframe ln[50] does this with the Wealth_score example. Plus there a couple of questions that are adapted passed on showing this further on.

Thanks for doing this! Benjamin
