Research direction
Start with the linked 08-Pandas lesson and inspect how its current pandas objectives and exercises are structured. Determine the scope and acceptance criteria for replacing pandas with Polars; done means the lesson content and exercises consistently teach the agreed library.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
How could the content be improved?
Polars is a vastly superior library that is sure to fully replace pandas in the long run.
Its syntax is no harder than pandas and it doesn't make sense to teach pandas to beginners who don't have habits yet.
Here is a webinar I gave if someone still needs convincing.
