It is the most applicable course on python anyone could participate in. I am glad I came across this amazing course. Kudos to the producers and thanks to every one on them.

Very useful project and exercises included in this course. It teaches very well to students to really work from web scraping to data visualization with realistic use case

The whole making of a dashboard by screenshotting graphs and pasting them places is just poor, noone makes dashboard that way in 2024. Why learn to do it that way? Also too many instances of just copy and pasting code from earlier places, but the dashboard forcing you to remember the exact syntax in every new section, if its not new, just put the code for us with gaps for what IS new.

There are some useful practise labs but the code is outdated and the use of IBM Watson seems to have been removed. It seems this is so the instructors don't need to update their code base which doesn't run on recent versions of the libraries or python.
The course format is not clear as instructions have not been fully updated. Poor quality course which could have been good.

You have to review someone's submission to finish the course. The thing is, if there is no submission available for you, you have to wait! You can not finish the class without it! Ridiculous! I waited for a while. But everytime I check, it says same thing: ''There is no submission for you to review right now. Please come back later'' You gotta be kidding me seriously!

Very informative project, however it was also very frustrating. Lab/notebook should be updated to ensure correct source data is provided when the assignment is started. Looking at the discussion topics, the issue I had was identified over 2 years ago and still seems to be an issue. However, following the topic I was able to finish the project.

One can learn interesting things but the final assignment is a disaster - it is very difficult to sign in to watson studio, one need 1 hour to find a way to do it. Apart from that later for peer review screen shots are needed which on small laptop are nto easy to do. Reviewing others work is also difficult as the photos are reallz small.

If this wasn't part of the certificate, I wouldn't bother. The project was way too easy and boring. I'm certain you could actually get full marks just by copy-pasting. I would've liked a more challenging project. I understand that would require more from reviewing process, but this is just ridiculous.

Final assignments involve matters that have not been seen during the course. Course should have more explanations, both video and text, and then more practice in order to settle what you have seen. It's not at all a beginners course; perhaps it could be for the matter but not for the explanations.

repetitive lectures. multiple typos. non working lab. no explanation of the lab code shared. spent multiple hours to resolve the code errors to resolve code errors shared by Coursera for assignment (learn from other sources than Coursera to resolve code errors)

I think it isn't a good beginner course for Python. There are some things that are not explained and other that are not well explained. However, if you are following the data science learning path, I recommend you do it so you can pass to the next one.

The exercises that are supposed to influence learning are spoon-fed. In order to truly learn the material, one needs to tinker with the material and explore possibilities. Unfortunately, this course does not facilitate that.

Project is rated by peers and the majority of your grade is based on their evaluation. Got points deducted because my peer did not know how to view the GitHub link. There isn't anyone monitoring accuracy of results.

Probably the weakest course I have taken on the platform. Very frustrating.
Increasing from one to two stars because of helpful comments in the discussion boards that finally enabled me to complete the assignment.

Honestly, you end up just doing the same thing 3x with just different data. If you can copy and paste the example from the original example shown, you can finish this course

A lot of issues with this course. New information wasn't explained in detail and I was left with a lot of questions. Last assignment had a lot of issues.

Really poorly explained and laid out. Expected more from IBM and for a programme that you need to pay for separately.

I find it difficult to learn when I can not get feedback on exercises I fail in or can not complete despite trying.

There wasn't enough explanation. Even after doing the optional work it felt like i was thrown in the dep end.

Spoonfeeding results. It's not a project, you just have to answer 6 questions...
