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.

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.

It's a complete basic course for data analytic. The exercise is great. The explanation in VDOs is easy to follow an illustrated. I think it is my favourite Python course so far. It helps me understand something that I don't understand from the previous course.

This course gives an perfect introduction to the basics of python for data science with the help of some python packages like numpy,pandas,mathplotlib etc, apart from this the course also gives brief understanding of using if,else,for loop,functions in python.

En el examen final, se obtuvo un puntaje, para dar clausura al curso. Es bueno, para lo que se desea, queda para uno, hacer más práctica para conseguir lo que realmente se desea con estas bases. Gracias por la oportunidad y los aportes que me generó el curso.

Great course! practical oriented via skills network lab. Labs provides hands-on experience to apply and test what you have learnt. I liked quizzes that keep me attentive during the videos.

Undoubtedly it was a great experience to learn python with this course.

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

Very interesting. Adequate level to start using python.

The only section that I found less interesting was the section on APIs, the description of the code for the connection with the service providers was a little bit confusing.

Overall excellent course!

Having taking the Machine Learning Coursera from Univ. of Washington, I left this was a much better explained and presented course explaining the information behind what was taught quite well. I could recommend this course to new Python programmers.

Excellent course. This course teaches plenty about the introduction to using common data science analysis tools like Python. Anyone would benefit from taking this course and learning to use amazing frameworks like Python's pandas or numpy frameworks.

Thanks for the excellent course, I learned a lot from your magnificent teaching and, until now, it was the best course I took and the one I learned the most. I will look for more IBM courses to be able to take and learn from you, thanks teachers.

Great course! The only issue I encountered was in the last lab (week 5 working with different file types) in which the instructions to download the sample employee XML file were not clear, and the append function code returned an error message.

The course content is great, but the video explanation is abstract and contain little information. I understand that more info is contained in the hands-on lab, but the instruction for lab is all in words and can sometimes be tiring to look at.

It was good experience of learning, the way course has been designed and very good point is the interactive part, where immediately there is question answer session.

Specially the course content and gradually moving towards detail, i like that!

The course was very knowledge-enriching and easy to follow. Most of the concepts in Python necessary for Data Science were covered, and examples were practical. Videos were also explained very well, and the exams were really highly thought-of.

Easy to understand, this course is very suitable for beginners.

Quickly understand the basic syntax of Python and interesting IBM cloud, and the labs provided.

There are many very good practice questions to help students understand the content.

Not sure I see how we will be using all of the Python techniques outlined in the course (ex. use case for capturing only the first two characters in a text file), but the labs were informative and the lectures told us exactly what we needed.
