About the Course

This course introduces the basics of Python 3, including conditional execution and iteration as control structures, and strings and lists as data structures. You'll program an on-screen Turtle to draw pretty pictures. You'll also learn to draw reference diagrams as a way to reason about program executions, which will help to build up your debugging skills. The course has no prerequisites. It will cover Chapters 1-9 of the textbook "Fundamentals of Python Programming," which is the accompanying text (optional and free) for this course. The course is for you if you're a newcomer to Python programming, if you need a refresher on Python basics, or if you may have had some exposure to Python programming but want a more in-depth exposition and vocabulary for describing and reasoning about programs. This is the first of five courses in the Python 3 Programming Specialization....

My progress was erased one day, as well as my grades. Coursera told me that happened because the university updated the course, and did not save progress of students. Never received an answer on discussion forum, which was full of messages about the same issue - students losing their progress and unable to upload results of assesments. Also the course has problem with timezone - it does not let you save progress also if you do not set time zone of US. Weird, because it is course in Coursera, worldwide! Finally, had to start the course from the beginning, there was no manner to restore my grades.

Your site is glitching. I had to write all my assignments more than 5 times. For a while, I lost my mind, I'm still losing my mind because it's not allowing me to download my certificate. What is the point of teaching students computers when your own site is glitching and making life so difficult for us. Sorry, But this is the worst experience i have ever had.

The Runestone Interactive textbook is very glitchy. It is supposed to work when you are logged in with your Coursera account. About half the time, I am locked out even though I am logged into Coursera. I'm considering dropping this class and moving on to a different one.
