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.

This course goes through the basic of python, then goes up to the used of the most famous library for data science, or other data related field like numpy, matplotlib, and pandas. Keep it up to date please, some of pandas method used in this course is a deprecated method.

This course meets my needs about python. Before taking this course I was confused about writing code in Python but now I feel confident and can write even complex code. I learned many things .

I recommend this course.

Thank you guys for providing such an amazing course.

A great introduction to Python, very complete and thorough. I don't agree though that this is beginner level and that there's no prior experience required. If I hadn't a backround in data analysis, maths and some programming, this would be a very different experience.

This course provides a broad overview of the Python programming language, covering almost everything necessary to start using it and even the practice has been one of the best to reinforce knowledge and incorporate it.

It has been challenging for me and I have loved it.

More interactive assignments leading into the final project would be useful. I needed to resource outside reading to fully understand the final project. However, the final project did force me to develop a much stronger understanding of python code and how it works.

I have basic knowledge in Python when I took this course but I still learned something from this like use of dictionaries, classes, and objects which I can use in the future for developing scripts for ETL/ELT processes. Also, the API intro is very useful and concise.

I particularly enjoyed using Jupyter notebooks for the labs. It was actually fun to introduce different variables to see what would happen to the output. Plus, it made importing libraries very easy, and helped me better understand them in general, particularly NumPy.

The Course is designed and framed in a simplistic and ergonomically way easy to learn and understand.

Quiz questions are completely based on understandings from the course. And finally, the last analysis project gives a complete overview of what you have understood.

It was a good training course, with lots of good materials, visuals, and hands-on exercises. The integration of this course with IBM Watson is definitely an add-value. I did like also the possibility to share my labs to GIT Gist. I really recommend this training.

Outstanding curation of the material and presentation at a pace that was easy to understand. The optional part of the quiz was very difficult -- why make the user type in so many file names, parameters etc. to generate a URL -- that could all have been automated.

While a lot to ingest, the way the information is introduced, explained and then put into practice makes this a great course EVEN if you've already had previous PYTHON experience (like I did) I learned new things and understood many other aspects I didn't before

I can't accept that I made it as far as possible ! I know learning the Data science and Python programming was a dream for me due to my financial problems. But my dream came true because of the Coursera team.

Thank you so much

Great course and excellent pedagogy when organizing the information. What is shown in the videos is fully applied in the labs and delves into the things that the videos cannot show except in a hands-on environment. Really very grateful for everything I learned.

Code is beautifully explained, Skill cloud lab is amazing to work upon. I can use jupyter notebook and Turi whenever I want to. I had a major problem installing Turi in my windows platfrom, version and resources never matched. Thank you IBM for this platform.

Never learned so much things in so short time. Thanks to the instructors for the amazing course and didatics used. The animations explaining each concept in each class was the cherry on top of it. Impossible not to understand. You're the best teachers ever.

Very nice introduction to Phython, with lots and lots of usefull examples, and also introduce you to some of the most important libraries from Phython will allow you to do a great number of things, from scrapping websites to analize big sets of data! 5/5
