    Good intro. Basic. Somewhat repetitive on the setup components. PDFs were not able to be copy and pasted into code during lessons.

    Taking the course in Apr 2019 and in the first programming module and the code for using pandas datareader has not been updated since it was deprecated in late 2017, almost 1-1/2 years later!!! Hard to give good ratings when the first critical part of the course is out of date, which is a major detraction for the rest of the course, and brings to mind questions of creditability.
