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.

Th course is great; however, the final assignment is such a waste of time. Nothing works! The forum is dead and there is no way to get help or get your question answered. I spent 2 days just googling trying to make the platform to work. I submitted my assignment with a provided submit button 5 times and it would give me 0/1 untill I tried to save my assignment in different formats and it got accepted.

Tha main instructor is very good , professional , eloquent & encouraging :-)

The main concepts taught are indeed fundamental & important.

What I was missing the most was way more practice & didactic division of the

more complex concepts to undertstand. Additionally, the gap between the lessons taught & the graded assessments can be quite big. It takes a lot of practice to internalize the new concepts.

The course was pretty good. Christine has explained all in a really good way. Easy to understand for beginners. One star missing is because there was times where in assessments we were supposed to use some functions not explained during videos. I know it won't be possible to explain all functions of a class but the important ones are necessary. Overall a good experience and a great start to python:)

Un buen curso que se complica poco a poco, se puede hacer perfectamente con un leve conocimiento de inglés, aunque sería recomendable tenerlo algo fluido, algunas tareas falta algo de información en las clases y hay que buscarle la vuelta, en fin es un curso en el que hay que tener algo de conocimiento previo sobre habilidades informáticas simples, pero se aprende correctamente lo básico de python.

Useful course and covers fundamentals. I put 4* because I think videos are way to short and it is very annoying to receive an introduction and a wrap-up for a 4 minute video. They should be at least 10-15 min, less videos but longer. The "snake" introduction is also very annoying. It should be only at the beginning of a module, but not in EVERY single video. A waste of time and tiresome.

I would give it a 5/5 but I feel like I had to go to the forums for learning from peers sometimes rather than re-watching the videos. Loops are tricky and I feel like the videos could have been more related to the questions that were going to be on the quizzes/assessments. Overall though, I liked the course and I felt accomplished when I finally didn't have to look up help anymore at the end.

Could be enhanced for visual learners by showing while telling more. The encouragement and self-pacing statements seemed rather excessive by the midpoint of the course. Some minor errors/issues. Final project was more a test of ability to parse discussion forum for solutions to import issues. But all in all, the course was good and did what it advertised. Good crash course on Python. Thanks!

Sometimes is needed to apply some concepts when they are explained, in some stages, they provide alternatives that confuse me because are part of next stages during the development of the course, and sometimes when you put the code in your own console it works but in the proper environment of the course it produces as an output a mistake that sometimes you have to look for how to solve

Great course! I am giving 4 stars, not 5, only because there was minimal help on how to practice outside of repeating the same mini quizzes and rewatching videos. Fantastic explanations and examples of what Python can do and how to apply it in real scenarios. I would only hope to see some more practice work, or at least some direction on where a student could go for such practice.

The instructor was very good at what she was teaching...it was visible...i haven't given 5 starts because concepts like sets and composition weren't explained in depth but made use of later in the exercise part. But overall this crash course is very complete on its own and definitely one of the best available on the internet. Thanks for providing such professional expertise online.

Nice intro, Coursera is a little bumpy-grindy at times - lost the entire Final Assignment code base just before they went offline for (much needed) maintenance. But, I learned from that episode and fortunately I had already copied the code to my local computer.

I'm glad to get the basic course behind me, as the remainder of the course promises to be far more interesting.

Challenging especially if you are new to programming, you will have to do some practice and reading outside of what is given to you in the course. It is also not the greatest experience when using the provided integrated programming environment and thus I recommend using an IDE when trying your own scripts in this course. This course will allow you to grasp the foundation.

The Course could be easy for someone who has already a certain knowledge of programming. I personally found it well structured and some exercises helped me to better understand Python. The main advantage is to have to solve guided problems which gradually require more and more knowledge of the language. For me personally this was a good way to start to learn Python.

I really enjoy this course on Coursera.it is both challenging and doable for beginners like myself. The first few weeks the tests are relatively easy but once the topic of loops and dictionary are involved it gets much harder. I really took my time to complete this course and I am glad I completed it. 9/10 and I will probably review the materials when I get stuck

Really fascinating course and I say, one of the best courses on Coursera. Even if you have no prior knowledge of python or any programming languages, you won't find it hard to understand the course material. It does get a bit hard in the end when OOP is introduced but with a little practice you'll do just fine. I highly recommend this to everyone. Happy Learning.

I've learnt a lot in this course and very happy because I can use this knowledge to boost up my IT career and get a job of my dreams. But I would like to point out one thing that affected me in some way, that is the course felt a little fast and hurried up in the last and the project was a lot to take up at the end. Otherwise the course is well written and good

The course material was fairly clear and easy to follow. I, personally, had a few issues using the jupyter notebook in the final assessment, as I hadn't worked out how to get the notebooks to give informative debug messages. I think a bit of a manpage or help text about what the WordCloud module routines require as inpute and give as outputs might be useful.
