The syllabus of the course takes you in a roller-coaster ride.
From basic level to advance level and you won't feel any trouble nor hesitate a bit.
It's easy, it's vast, and it's really usefull.

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.

Very good course, quiet enjoyed it. I am not completely clear about the payment system. Like i finished this course now, and it was 30euros/month, but i finished it within the free week. So i think i will not be charged? :D For anyone considering starting with python, THIS COURSE will put you at the right start :) PS. I never give 5 stars

I found this course extremely fun and challenging. I still need a bit more practice but I can confidenly digest and pick apart what parts of the code are doing what.
There is a section during week 4 where it significantly jumps up in difficulty (second half). I think some of the read write sections need more examples and practice portions!

Introduces you into Python in a fluid way that works will within the IBM eco-sphere of tools. If you use the tools provided (free trial periods) there is plenty to play around with while you take the course. The labs are a bit too guided in my opinion and could use some more 'learner inputs' but both explain and show the content well.

This was a solid course, despite some errors in the instructions that made it difficult to complete some assignments. I'd recommend this course for people very new to Python - it does a good job of explaining basic Python concepts (objects, classes, etc.) for someone who's never programmed before. Overall, I'm glad I took this course.

It improving skills we can learn more to develop our skills.The demand for both data scientists and data analysis will increase by over 1000% over the next few years; it's time for you to make your move. Whether you want to become a data analyst or make the big leap to data scientist, learning and mastering Python is an absolute must

Some sections were very good, especially the introductory ones, but often they seemed disjointed and focused too much on a deeper but superficial understanding of a few topics at the expense of a broader understanding of Python as a whole. Examples and labs frequently used commands and syntax that were barely -if at all- explained.

This course is great for beginners. It gives the basic foundations so you can improve your knowdlegde later.
I juts think the data part was given a bit in a hurry. And I-d change the way we resolve problems. The lab isgreat since it doesn-t ocupy any space but I'd rather use python or spyder to get use to it.
Overall, I recommend it.

I know this is an IBM program, but we shouldnt be forced to use Watson Studio.
The video were really short, so i had to reviewed many time and still find the concept of (class, and calling on other code through API difficult)
this is probably just "intro to Python" the knowledge taught here are not yet applicable to real life context

The Course content was very detailed in some parts but in other areas it could have been a bit better explained. I understand that the course is expedited and a great deal of the development should be the students' responsibility, but certain concepts, particularly the section on REST APIs and webscraping was a bit hard to follow.

A good course to learn the very basics of Python. Some of the videos go too fast. Not that the material is difficult, but the speakers just talk to fast. Also, would like to see a summary or guidebook on Python that accompanies the videos. Hard to remember the Python statements and syntax. Going back through the videos is tedious.

The course provides the student with the required basics of Python for those seeking to work in the field of data science and artificial intelligence. However, there is a section about APIs that is a little hard to follow due to the lack of sufficient explanation. This could be a result of the level of the course being elementary.

All good about this course, well planned and touches on all the basics. It also teaches you how to use Watson Studio to make a project notebook. The only thing I felt under the bar was that it was a little too easy even for a beginner level, should have had more difficult assignments and projects for a better learning experience.

Algunos videos no tenian subtitulos en español pero, dejándo un lado eso, el contenido estuvo genial. Me encanto, pese a no ser tan interactivo como los cursos de Google, el contenido y la manera de explicarlo es genial. Bastante técnica pero necesaria si l que se busca es profundizar en el campo y ser un mejor profesional.

This course is very informative, perhaps you could take it with little to no coding background and understand everything in it. My only fault with it is that the quizzes/exercises are not particularly intensive, so you will have to make programs and study a good deal outside of the class to achieve mastery of the concepts.

A good intro to Python. The only frustration was that sometimes the examples presented and content covered were different from the a couple of questions in the lab and final project without explanation (most were covered however), making it a bit confusing and leaving an inexperienced programming student a bit in the dark.

Fast paced and to the point; ideal if you have programming background and quickly want to come to terms with Python.
Minus for the course materials using IBM cloud; the required material is missing and/or inaccurate, causing one to spend way too much time trying to figure out what the course material should have presented.

It has an impressive teaching style and has quite a good resource.
But it would be more pleasing if its videos were a bit longer. And sometimes the "Ungraded external tools" for practicing the codings don't work quite properly( it executes the functions or inputs after a minute or so after you use the "Shift + Enter")

This was an excellent introduction to the Python language. The only suggestion I would make is to assign more homework in order to practice the material presented in the videos. The skills labs are helpful, but much of the code is simply provided instead of having the user generate it themselves. Overall, great course!

Some changes exist on IBM Watson comparing to the lectures. Plus the way Watson Studio hanldes notebooks, storages and buckets is different from the instructions in the class. An update in the slides and instructions would sort it out properly.
Other than that, a good course with solid information and explanations.

Course materials are really good. Practice labs are also good. However, Final Assignment section needs to be revamped because it has little to no relation with the course materials. I would like to see the Final Assignment section to assess the coding skills which were taught in the previous 4 weeks of the course.

very good course for beginners. I was able to understand mostly all of it. The last two assginments were a little tough though I managed to do it after reviewing the videos again. I needed help can you please tell me where can I get my certificate I am not able to see it even after the completion of the course.

I learned a lot about Python in this course. There were typos here and there, but the learning was gradual and it was not such a jump for quizzes and tests that I couldn't get it done. One suggestion I would have would be for some pages that would provide a summary of learning that could be used for reference.

The content is great, and there are a lot of take away notebooks to experiment with. I would say what prevents this from being 5 stars is the content design of the transcript when following along. The transcript is a large block which can make it hard to reference something that was said, while taking notes.

IBM CLOUD portal operations could be more explanatory, in terms of instances, if lab is 1 hour, 40 minutes is spent in the way to initially open notebook... after finishing mandatory questions, optional ones are also not explicit, I created unnecessary credentials, buckets... Without understanding, and left

This is a good introduction to Python. My only criticism would be that the final project has an optional step to share your project that refers to instructions that are not available. There are discussions relating to this problem on the course forum dating back for months, but it has not been addressed.
