Post Masterclass Review
"Great walkthrough for the homework assignment and leaving us plenty of options to explore the material more in-depth by ourselves."
"It covered a wide range of the basics of Python and provided relevant examples to explain. The overall presentation and contents are easy to understand and easy to pick up.
Looking forward to more complex and flexible usage of Python in data analysis."
"The lessons on Bloomberg and other databases are really useful for me. Even though I cannot have any hands-on experiences by using Bloomberg Terminals, these knowledge and demonstration can help a lot to build a good foundation for my future career!"
"Personally, I find the lessons interesting as it shows us the approach in which consultants uses to solve problems. The live session with Mike's sharing also helps us to know more about the consulting industry, which can be quite difficult to do so unless you know someone in the industry itself."
