Data-Nash
The speaker in this video talks about their experience with DataCamp and how it fell short of their expectations. They highlight the lack of emphasis on foundational knowledge, the artificial learning experience, and the superficial points system that incentivizes progression without understanding. While the speaker admits to finding value in DataCamp once they had a basic understanding of coding, they conclude that it ultimately didn't teach them as much as they had hoped.
In this section of the video, the speaker discusses his experience with DataCamp and how he had initially signed up to learn about data science and two languages, Python and SQL. While he completed the courses with high hopes of starting a master's degree in data science and AI, he quickly realized that he didn't know nearly as much as he thought he did once he started the course. The speaker explains that DataCamp's videos and prompts are usually short and are not enough to reinforce the concept being taught, and students are spoon-fed the answers too often. The speaker concludes that while DataCamp is interactive, it doesn't provide enough challenges to make students think, and they end up not learning as much as they hoped.
In this section, the speaker discusses the shortcomings of DataCamp's teaching style, particularly in the lack of emphasis on foundational knowledge. They explain that the same problems are only explained once, leaving a shaky foundation to build upon with subsequent topics. Furthermore, the learning experience is artificial, as it is in a vacuum without considering real-life scenarios. The speaker also argues that DataCamp's points system is a superficial way of incentivizing learning, as it encourages users to keep progressing despite a lack of understanding and places too little emphasis on meaningful projects that can add to one's portfolio and understanding of why a data scientist is essential.
In this section, the speaker discusses their overall thoughts on DataCamp, stating that while they didn't vibe with certain aspects of the platform, they still found a lot of value in it once they had a basic understanding of coding. They even encourage viewers who have questions about DataCamp to leave them in the comments. The speaker emphasizes that they are still a complete data science newbie and hope to document their journey towards becoming proficient in coding and data science on their channel.
