Hi! I finished my Denver cohort in Jan 2016. If you are considering a data science Denver class I would recommend visiting a class and noting: interaction with students and instructors, how smoothly the labs run, and how the intructors review material supporting quizes and exams. Ask the students how they are doing and what they are learning. It will be your money and time so make sure you are comfortable with the learning environment as a place where you can thrive.

Hi! I finished my Denver cohort in Jan 2016. If you are considering a data science Denver class I would recommend visiting a class and noting: interaction with students and instructors, how smoothly the labs run, and how the intructors review material supporting quizes and exams. Ask the students how they are doing and what they are learning. It will be your money and time so make sure you are comfortable with the learning environment as a place where you can thrive.
If they refuse to let you visit a class, consider that a red flag.
I would also ask for the number of students employed in the Denver area with salary info. Our cohort has had a difficult time finding Denver jobs. As of this writing, 4 months after the classes ended, many are not employed. If your intent is to stay in the Denver Metro area, this may not be the program for you. One person from my cohort and two from the previous cohort had to leave Colorado to find employment.
PROS:
The other students were very motivated, interesting and collaborative. Galavanize does a great job of finding qualified students.
The ziphian materials presented in the repositories are wonderful. If you take the class dig deep for them. They were not used as part of the circulum in Denver.
The California staff visited twice during our session and were amazing with providing context and coherent lectures.
The labs were actual business case studies with relevent uses of algorithms on business data
The math, stats and computer theory was presented and then applyed to a a real world problem
The Denver training site is in an incubator and home to a full stack class so you are surrounded by people who are inovating and discussing new ideas
The Denver training site has lots of amneties like breakout rooms, wireless, gym, bike corral, and spectacular views
Guest speakers came about once every other week to discuss their use of data science in their company which put a great context to what we were learning
One week prior to the Data Science course they offered a Python course that really helped and was a great bonus
CONS:
The labs, reading materials, quizzes and lectures were often unrelated.
Many of the 30 minute quizzes were over materials that were never covered and not reviewed (so what was the point?)
The instructors were not always constructive to questions with responses like: "google it", blank stares, "I don't know, ask someone else", and shoulder shrugs
The labs were not properly prepared so we often spent valuable time trying to configure our computer by updating libraries, importing a new data file or running different syntax
The Career Services team was located in a different building 15 minutes away and had very limited availablity
Time management, planning and communication were lacking with informal meetings and no schedule for the day. As a result, I did not feel that my time was valued by the Galvanize staff.
Confusing and inconsistent learning environments and teaching styles.
The staff was constantly "reactive" to what needed to be done. They were avaliable for questions but not great at explaining concepts to relate to the lab and quiz materials.
Instructors were graduates of the previous course so their knowledge did not run deep
Good luck !
