Two major places absolutely needed to revamp.

1. This is a meta staff taught course, but why ZERO, I repeat, ZERO mod you could find on discussion forums. These forums are utter chaos. People post tons of assignment answers there. Unlike other similar Python courses on Coursera, no mod is there to answer students' questions.

2. Several pages either have no subtitles or, simply text out of sync. Given the reputation of meta, such issues should not happen.

In general, you could feel sort of insouciant attitude in couse design and material making. You can comapre this course to courses offered by Yale or University of Michigan, you would realize how carefree meta is on making this course. The quality is not bad for sure, but it is also not that good and detailed. Just it shouldn't be a product of Meta.

So many mistakes and difficult topics are explained in the reading. Most modules have more reading than actual videos, making it hard to follow along. Some quizzes had different answers for the same questions as well.

Documentation in the coding exercises had vague instructions and inconsistencies. The instructor changes every 2-3 videos which is upsetting as well.

The course covers many interesting topics, but all too quickly and often superficially. Some of the examples given contain errors, and the exercise topics are often unclear or even contradictory. Requires real concentration.

Coding experience is very low. It does not add any skill to the programming ability. It just help to have an awareness of python programming. If you are here to learn real coding, it is not for you.

The course was okay. it could have been structured better. Also, there were several mistakes throughout the explanations. A course from meta should be better designed.

Certainly the course does not delve too deep into the topics it treats. It is more like an introduction, but does not forms a full fledged python programmer.

The programming assignments are difficult, and you need to go through external resources to be able to ace them. However, the lesson contents are top-notch.

It's more of a beginner course. I learned some things that I didn't know from my self-study but overall it wasn't very challenging (finished in two days)

Contents are great, but the instructions for graded assignments are highly confusing and not stated properly.

Good top-level examination of Python. Some typos and confusing questions strewn throughout the module.

There were some glaring errors in the testing section but otherwise a decent introduction to Python.

Course needs more coding practices that lead up to program assignments.

The course is good though not easy for newbie in programming

Assignments didn't really match with the course.

ensemble casting gives real life feel.

to much theory, few practice

has quite a few errors

While this course covered diverse topics, I couldn't simply rely on the course for a deeper understanding. The Python course fell short of meeting expectations. While Week One was passable, the subsequent weeks suffered from numerous typos and code errors. Week three proved to be the most disappointing, characterized by a confusing course structure, poorly designed quizzes, inadequate content, flawed choice of examples, and an abundance of errors. Even free courses available elsewhere offer superior content. Meta should update this course ASAP.

I enjoyed the first course of the program but this course is very hard to follow along. No offense to the british guy, but man, I zone out so bad when he's doing video instruction. They are not clear as to why you should do a certain thing in code, they just say "do this ..." and expect you to retain that for their projects. It really should be, "do this because" and immediately apply the tools. Maybe its just me, but too much reading and video, not enough hands on instruction. If I wanted to read, I would've ordered a book.

i like this course but i am having challenges and they are not responding to me, i don't have money for upgrading the course and i thought that the financial aid covers that. will it affect my certificate if i don't do the upgraded quizzes. is there no other options?

Ridiculously long and nearly all the labs do not cover what is being taught. This course should truly be split into two different courses and a review MUST be made for correct the lab responses and align with information being taught.

poorly explanations, many bugs and errors in assignments, not beginner friendly at all

There are numerous errors in both the lectures and in some of the quizzes

the examples were really hollow and it was very compact in some videos
