At first, it is really simple and understandable. Couple of weeks after, I found it gets harder to solve the questions based on what just been taught by the instructor. So, I gotta search for more information about the python.

It is good in many ways, but as it gets harder, the time spent on self reading increases as well.

Anyway, It would be nicer if we have more detailed explanation on each questions and possible answers to view as references.

Love the instructor, Chrsitine, she really is amazing

It's a good course if you have a little background on programming, or at least the very foundations, since certain concepts, that are not mentioned in this course, are necessary to catch how programs and computers work. However, the course covers a bunch of aspects and topics in a concise and efficient way, being very clearly and funny. I really recommend this course for beginners, as long as they're willing to study by themselves in order to cover the concepts not that easy to understand.

The content could be more incremental with more fun examples of how to create python programs. The course felt a bit. Here's an idea and now here are a bunch of rather boring coding exercises. I think it would have been better to have lots and lots of easy coding challenges that you write from scratch, rather than often getting dropped in the middle of a half-completed code example and being asked to complete it. More guided tutorials on writing the programs as well would have been nice.

Lovely graphics and more engaging than expected. Mini exercises in the videos were helpful, and the practice quizzes provided insight into how python can be used to solve everyday problems. However, the actual quizzes and final projects were significantly more difficult than content explored in the tutorials (lots of googling, github, and stackoverflow to understand the functions and applications of new e.g. methods) - hints would've been helpful but a decent course nonetheless!

The content coverage was extensive, encompassing fundamental programming concepts, including variables, control flow, loops, and functions. The instructor presented the material in a clear and concise manner, breaking down complex topics into easily understandable explanations. I would rate the Coursera Python Crash Course 4 out of 5 stars. It provides a solid foundation for beginners, offering flexibility, comprehensive content coverage, and engaging interactive exercises

I am a graduate with no skill. coursera provided me skill . This is not the degree for name , but it will help me to earn more than my bread and butter in future. I was not aware of this platform otherwise i could have learnt from coursera about these amazing courses while pursuing my graduation. Huge thanks to google and coursera. I am from Arts background it was tough for me to learn programming, but after practice its fine . I am feeling changes in my way of working.

This is an excellent guided introduction to Python. Once you finish this course you should know enough about Python to follow along any template or code you might find. While this gives you an introduction to basic Python syntax, data types, etc. there are not very many exercises to help you before getting to the required assignments. Take some time to work on each of the modules. Try some programming on your own or look up some examples before doing the assignments.

A short and sweet course that goes through basic concept and logic in Python programing. I get to understand the basic glossary of data types and syntax of Python. The assignment and projects are well organized, focusing on the basic syntax. However, it may be a little easy for intermediate learners. The research part is already done for the project. If one is interested in finishing programing tasks independently, one would need to look beyond the course.

Very informative and covered all the necessary principles. My one critique would be that most of the best instruction (in my opinion) came from the videos, which were a little bit short. Additionally, I would say that most true python / programming beginners would probably struggle with the speed the course goes through each topic. It's great for a refresher but if I hadn't done any python programming before, I would have found it difficult to keep up.

one word - amazing

if you have basic knowledge of programming you will find this course super easy though there are some quiz and assignment questions which makes you scratch your head but giving some time in solving those questions help you know where you stand and what you have learnt.

I think OOP part should be mandatory or atleast it should be a little detailed specially object composition as i felt like it was getting little fast during this part.

OMG, i did it. Thank you, Google and my friend who helps me a lot with completion and learning. I am a noncoder guy, started learning coding with python. Coursera provides a good materialistic course for the community to learn the subject. anyhow I feel something needs to be more considerate about exercise. the assignment is really complex and out of order. mean the query should ask after the lecture is done.

Nevermind Keep Learning and sharing :)

It has been a challenge, my only problem is not being able to practice more sample codes before I do an exam. I would like course to have an optional exercise area where I can practice what I learned a bit before the lesson exams. The exams really test your knowledge of math functions and you really need to read and understand what the question is asking and output the correct results. The couple multiple choice was a blessing. lol. I had fun.

The first 3 weeks were easy and well executed. But when the concept got harder especially in Week 5 related to class composition. The input data for the function we were building was given last or not given at all, which made it very confusing and not realistic. How do you already know how to write the order of the variables in class while we have no idea how the data string is formed? Answer is the lecturer has that info and was not sharing.

What is great about this course is they give you the tools to succeed, however, do not walk you through every little detail that could lead to boredom and the inability to retain the information. It is super challenging and a lot of research, as well as independent reading, needs to go into your journey. The videos are a great reference when working on your final project and referencing the forum was a big help in moments when you get stuck.

The final project grader error messages were ridiculously vague "problem with output" ???!! - I mean for a programming course you'd expect at least slightly more meaningful / helpful error messages. Looking at the discussion forums - that clearly wasted (at least) thousands of hours of peoples time....

Otherwise pretty good course - although I think the first 2 weeks could probably have been reduced to a couple of bullet points...

Great course, videos were easy to follow, but I had a harder time following this video set compared to the Univ of Michigan Python course.

Google's crash course covered more material and had harder quizzes which were certainly more valuable from an end product perspective, but for ease of consumption, I still give the edge to UofM.

I appreciated the bite sized videos here but the extra minute or so in each the UofM videos helped.

First, I started this course with no knowledge, it was hard to understand anything, I dropped this course and started studying on YouTube Python for beginning course by Mr. Mosh Hamedani, after finishing that free course I came back to Coursera and everything was clear, but I have to mentation that depth of this course is good, and I have learned some great concepts and examples that I cannot find anywhere else.

This Course is super friendly for those non-programming background, whose just wanna start their career into IT , it does provides handsfull of stuffs to work but despite of that it depends upon the individual to working beyond the course to get the wholesome experience because this course though gives you a way but does not give you everything to your doorstep and it is understandable as said before it's one's interest .

I think this was a pretty good course for beginners but i also think there are some concepts that are gone over a bit too fast. I was reading a book along with this course and the book helped clarify some things the 5 min video couldnt. Could've just been how i learn personally so i wont hold it against this course but I recommend everyone to read learning python the hard way. definitely helps grasp the concepts more.

Good course but frustrating as the quizzes don’t work till unlocked by admin. I was not able to type code for the answers. Every time I had to leave a message and wait till next day to be able to take the quiz. I would like to unenroll from this course. I do not want to continue the course. DO NOT CHARGE MY CREDIT CARD for this after the trial period is over. I will register for a different course later. Thank you.

The explanations are fairly ok. This is the first crash course I ever did on anything, so my opinion might be biased. Overall, I feel more confident regarding Python. Let's still room for improvement in my foundations, though. For that, I believe reading books like Automate the Boring Stuff by Al Sweigart or watching Corey Schaffer's Python tutorials on Youtube can also be very helpful for completing this course.

This is overalll a good course but i think google could teach more as there is so much to learn in python, even though its a crash course i think the tutor could explain more about how to implement the code in actual small projects. Also in the assignments the majority of the code is written as a fill in the blank type of problem rather than encouraging student to do it by themselves. Overall a 8.5 / 10 course.

It's really tough when you're a beginner to make it to the finish line. I think the encouragement from the presenter was very positive and the final assignment was just within my ability. I wish Jupyter Notebooks were introduced right at the start. I'm coming to grips with IDLE but I think an incremental approach using Jupyter Notebooks right from the start would have made the course easier and more enjoyable.

Course was great overall! As an experienced Java developer going into Python, this course hits the main points for getting started with how to code in Python. My only issue was that some problems/instructions were explained a little unclearly, and that they didn't tech how to make a program, they just taught the basic syntax, however, they do plan on introducing that in another course. Overall great course!

This course is perfect for beginners who are going to learn python for the very first time. It start slow and speed up pretty quickly. Obviously the student has to do his self study a lot. And he can only be a good programmer by practicing a lot and by not only completing this course. It also include optional content at the end which is very important in long term. As it include topics covered in OOP.
