You take more time trying to get to work the IBM products than actually learning python. This is specially salient in the peer-graded assingment

Don't take it. No Course Instructors, no help. Not worth the money...

Even the Working Platform is always timing out or has a gateway error.

A course recommendation for the devs:

Week 5 final project SUCKED .. searching forums for 3 days with a URL that works ubtil it gets to 99% and fails. Really poor

Too fast paced, not very in-depth. Final project is full of spelling mistakes and not coherent with the course. Terrible.

Worse course ever

Zero connection between the explained material and the quizzes or between the different course parts.

This course is terrible - multiple typos, no support. Final project makes no sense. A total waste of time and money

The final project should have had more guidance and instructions in order to complete in a timely manner.

The final assignment is impossible to do due to lack of information. Where is the database?

This was Python for beginners, the exercises couldn't have been missed even by a child

No way someone without Python experience writes the final assignment code unassisted.

There is not point in introducing graphs if you previously have not explained them

This course needs some maintenance. The labs are not working (most of them)

Not very good, course materials do not match final project deliverables.

lacks rigor and the assignments were way tooo easy....!! thumbs down!!

I just paid money to let IBM market their cloud services to me.

the last test to pass course nothing is taught about it

Really poor course, and not well explained at all.

Vague assignments- almost everyone gets stuck.

The last assignment is very bad explain

Final Assignment is very confusing

I think it is very good course to start data science with python. Modern methods and python libraries for data manipulation are included.

But as course was first created at 2017, there are some small parts of IBM Cloud setttings has been changed. This makes misunderstanding at week 4, then you need to use cloud servises.

Fortunately I understood that services became simpler. But I ask creators to fix the "creating project" part.

The course effectively covers the essential Python skills needed for data engineering. The content is comprehensive, and the hands-on projects reinforce the learning. The instructors' explanations are clear and guiding. I recommend this course to anyone looking to gain knowledge in data engineering.

Very good course, you can gain a lot of knowledge through well explained videos and labs.

One small issue though. There's a reference in the final Lab to a tutorial called PROVISIONING AN OBJECT STORAGE INSTANCE ON IBM CLOUD. This tutorial was not previously mentioned at all throughout the course.

This is a great course for learning python and getting the most in terms of fundametals of data sciences and the language itself. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in Data analysis and Data Science ,Data Engineering.
