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.

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.

Course is overall elegantly designed but there is a little bit of confusion in the API and file part. A little bit of detailed explanation of these parts could have made them better. Overall it was fun to learn python. Finally, thanks to the instructor.
wooooo!!! we did it.....................

I have learned Python Basics and how to use API Modules for Data Analytics. It's an explorative learning. I hope the elaboration on the final project assignment will be improved and the inconsistency issue between the tutorial and actual Watson Studio interface can be solved for future learner.

I really enjoyed the course a lot. It really gave a good example of how Python is used in Data Science. The only downside was that the tutorials were kind of dry. Other than that, had a lot of fun and learned a lot more. Thanks again to IBM to making some of the best MOOC's i've ever attended.

"Python for Data Science and AI" is a bit misleading. It's rather a 101 level course. If you know Matlab, R, or any other language, going through some of the videos is a bit a grind. But overall, the quality is good. Good job on having up to date videos about Watson, compared to other courses.

This course is fantastic. Very helpful in learning python and all the digital libraries which are required in Data Science related fields. I downloaded all the Digital Libraries required. Thanks to IBM for creation of these unique courses which are very helpful for potential future employees.

Some materials are not covered, but are in the exam. I've self studied python before starting this course. I think it might be harder if I start from knowing nothing. I found the material is quite simple, but the example are much harder. I cannot say i'd enjoy it if I come in knowing nothing.

Great course. concepts were well explained until towards the end, when some functions were thrown in without proper explanation of the attributes in the Labs section. All in all it was a really good course, that will stimulate you to do a lot of research on your own.
Thank you IBM and Coursera

A great introduction course to Python. A lot of topics are covered and you will learn a lot. I wish they would proof read the labs though. There were a lot of grammatical mistakes and instances where sentences would not make sense. I also wish they explained the harder topics in more detail.

The mix with videos and the labs helped a lot, to understand the topic. The only thing, which was to complicated and cost much time, was the introduction of Watson. This topic was not helpful for this course. But overall, I am satisfied with the course and I am prepared now for next stages!

Good introduction to python. Some lectures were quite lacking but overall decent introduction. If this is your first programming class, you will probably need more homework to get used to typing the correct way. Google beginner practice python work or something like that and it should help.

Excellent course for beginners who wants to learn python for data science. In videos, all the concepts have been explained in very simple way which makes it easy to understand. Thanks for creating such course. I took the course in audit mode so don't know about the quality of quiz sections.

I love this course with a bunch of useful exercises and helpful demo with tool. What can be progressed is that some materials are out of date because the interfaces of Watson and IBM tools are edited and the materials are kept with old. It makes learner not able to find and do efficiently.

at some point, this is the very good course for who want knock the door of python and data sicence, but the content seems to be a little easy and some of the function used in the couse is not explained very well. As for the api part, after the course, I still find i know little about it.

Nice course to combine with more in-depth courses as it lacks any exercises
It is very uneven in terms of levels of difficulty: practice quizes questions are extremely easy compared to hands-on labs
But I combined it with the in-depth Python exercises so kudos for having it well structured

The course was explanatory and so easy to understand.
I'd say the issues I had were that I was unable to open some labs and a question in the final assignment was either incomplete or incorrect that I couldn't even make sense of it.
But overall, The course is okay and beginner friendly.

This course is great but there could have been more emphasis on the logics with deeper explaination. It is a well-put and well-organized course that I was motivated to complete. It is not ideal for a newbie tho. You must have prior coding experience to be able to keep up with the course.

Course is good for beginners. I paused and rewind videos a lot to write stuff down because you learn a lot. Only 4 stars because in the assignment some things were outdated and I had to dig deep into the comment section and tried things many times just because it was outdated sometimes.

I knew Python before enrolling in this course and didn't have any problem with the course materials. However, I believe the teacher taught the course very fast with the least explanation on each topic. I think a person who does not know Python beforehand, may have a problem in learning.

If your are beginner in python, this course will help you make good foundation about python in all aspect. Content are simply and we can easily understood. only thing is when go end of this course like HTML and HTTP there is some further content needed otherwise all the topics are good

Good general outlook of basic Python programming operation. Although the details for each type operation is not in depth enough as memory model were not sufficiently utilized to complement the explanation, the overall teaching style is detailed and easy enough for anyone to comprehend.

Sometimes the labs wouldn't work :/
Also, it teaches the fundamentals but maybe including a video on how to set up your computer in order to have python and the libraries available would be a nice start as well.
Otherwise I'm very happy and feel I have learned a lot. Thank you very much

Es un muy buen curso, pero siento que hay 2 problemas que limitan mucho el aprendizaje, el primero de ellos es que no cuenten con audio en otros idiomas. Y lo segundo es que existen un par de videos en los cuales no se presentan subtÃtulos en otros idiomas, como por ejemplo español.

This is a basic introduction to Python for whoever wants to start with data science and AI. If you are completely new to Python you will probably need more exercise than just this course. For people with Python experience, this can be a good rehearsal if your skills are a bit rusty.

An amazing course for beginners like me who have no clue about Python. It's really helping me learn how to write my first lines in Python. The instructor explains codes in a very clear and simple way.
The only issue is that this course doesn't provide us with professional practices.

The videos are really well made and strongly explained each and every point. I really enjoyed while viewing it. Only one demerit is the quiz section. The quiz sections could be more difficult. But its okay, because in assignment its is managed.
highly recommended for this course.
