it becomes easier wand clearer when one gets to complete the assignments as to how to utilize what has been learned. Practical work is a great way to learn, which was a fundamental part of the course.

This course was really helpful in make me understand all the topics of Python from scratch, including the slightly advanced topics, of APIs, for my level as a freshman just getting settled in college.

it may be in more detail and informative pandas library are very difficult to understand in this lecture series try to do that it more easy way and do some example and all....
thank you so much....otherwise course is very much good

I don't think the hands on labs really helped due to the fact that the code was already entered in the input boxes. I think there needs to be blank input boxes and have students fill them in with the option to view the solution.

The course covers the basic, but the pacing is very erratic and some concepts aren't given nearly enough attention. Alo the code formatting throughout is terrible and does not conform to Python standards as expressed in PEP 8.

Please provide better instructions for graded assignments, and please include relevant video or tutorial sessions on topics presented in the homework (many topics were newly introduced and confusing for beginner programmers).

I definitely learned a lot through this course. It could be confusing at times and I feel like some of they examples they could have used different variables to make it not so confusing. Overall good intro and course though.

The final quiz doesn't pose data link in the assignment. Some people already have Studio account, don't need to follow the steps to open new account, had hard time to find data. Really cost me couple hours to find data....

sometime the course suddenly jump to something that totally complicated or complex and not being introduce in the beginning, so difficult for me to understand the connection or what actually it try to demonstrate or teach

Videos were way too fast and had to be watched mulitple times. The lab assignments didn't always align with the videos, were too complex for the knowledge of the course, and often had several instances that did not work.

Not enough hands-on exercises to retain information. In many of the videos, concepts are skimmed over without fully giving time to absorb them. The volume of the woman speaking was very inconsistant from video to video.

There are several typos in the slides of this course. I hoped the final assignment would be more meaningful in the sense that it would evaluate the knowledge of students on large set of concepts learned in the course.

Good and quick run-through of essential python. Not five stars for many errors on videos. Practice Notebooks on CC labs had usually correct info, but many videos had frequent errors which could hinder understanding.

For someone with some experience in programming the course was light. But I have to admit if I didn't have any previous knowledge the labs would be somehow hard. It's a sudden jump. But overall a positive experience.

Although an adequate introduction to Python, this course needs improvement. The videos in particular need to be redone so that sufficient time is given to explain these concepts instead of moving at breakneck speed.

The videos, labs and quizzes did not support one another. I feel like the material tested was not covered well. It would have been helpful to have examples in the labs that helped put into practice what was tested.

Content was great. The way it was taught and tested was a bit choppy. Lots of errors in the video and beginner programmers would have a heck of a time completing the final assignment. You should tighten that up.

I found week 3 and onwards to be quite difficult and not at all at a beginner level. The explanations were too fast skimmed over the information, i had to go back and re-review and pause each video several times.

'Python for data science' is best for beginner like me. I learned to work on basic tools of python like list, tuple, loop then pandas and numpy (1D & 2D). Cognitive Labs for these were great source of knowledge.

After viewing datacamp courses this course needs to be stronger to be named like this. IBM! You can do better. The last module was the worst. Most of the labs' codes are not for beginners and not even explained.

It would be a good course except for the IBM Watson tangent it takes. I was not able to sign-up for Watson and wasted a lot of time for no apparent reason. Otherwise good mix of theory/practice on Python basics

Online videos are fine. But I wrote very little code and I am not satisfied with the active learning part. On top, TA's answers on my questions or other questions were inadequate or there were no replies at all.

The course is good and it explained fundamentals simply and in a good way. but there are some important parts that was not explained such as potting libraries, it was prepared for students of the class to use.

I think the course is too hard to understand for some beginners like me, it takes too much time for me to replay each video. There is also some syntax that wasn't told in the video but appeared on Hands-on.

The specialization covering this leads into having to purchase a cloud account, I would say this course is great for learning python, but the specialization is horrible because it seems to be a money trap.

As a beginner, this course was quite tough to follow. I felt like all of the concepts should have been covered a bit more extensively. The end assignment was quite daunting but in the end it was manageable.

The course material is great. As for the submission portion, I think it can be better structured. The course doesn't cover dashboards yet some knowledge of them is required in order to submit the assignment
