  • I would move apply and applymap later. It's a more advanced concept I think. Also, a lot of times you can just do things like df['new'] = df['old'] ** 2 (or whatever)
  • For the missing values (and one-hot encoding), there's the pandas way and the scikit-learn way. We should decide which one we're doing. If the latter, I guess we don't need to teach the pandas way?
  • Do we want/need regular expressions?
  • Module 6 looks too full to me. Functions are easily their own module IMO. I might move a bunch of it to Module 8.
  • Do we want/need broadcasting? For module 7, this might be their first time thinking about array shapes and dimensions.

Thanks @hfboyce !
