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.

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.

The inner workings of the project (dashboard creation process) are not that clear. May be an optional reading can be added for interested students to understand the dashboard creation and the libraries used in more detail.

Understanding the Final Assignment and its instructions were a bit tricky. May be an introduction to IBM cloud hosting and the significance of various credentials required in the final assignment will make it a bit easier.

Great theory was provided throughout the course. I have been coding java and python for the past year and this was great in reminding me how to truly work with data types and manipulate data based on project requirements.

Clear and accurate. The last part (APIs, HTTP, ...) is a bit confusing, it goes quite fast and some elements are repeated. Overall, great course to set the baseline for the future courses of the different specializations.

Friends, The course is above my expectations. Very good. Just two comments. I would need an aposila to better follow the video explanations. And some exercises were not running in Jupyter Lab. Still the course is great.

the only issue I had is the codes are written on white board itself , difficult to understand what is the input code, instead u can show that on a code editor.(distinguish between codes and theory explanation) -thank you

A fair foundational course. Week 5 could have a more meaningful assignment e.g. correlation, not just plotting. The last (not rated) part of the course, uploading your results into the cloud, needs a proper explanation.

Week 5 final project did not have clear instructions about how to navigate through IBM Watson Studio. Took me a while to figure that out. Otherwise, the course is pretty good and the exercises are very straightforward.

Very good for getting started with Python. But looks like the interface changed since the tutorial video/instruction have been made so it caused some confuse. It'll be better if you update those tutorial/instruction.

Overall I think the course was a useful introduction to python programming for data science, and the tools and workbooks were super helpful. The instructions could be a bit more clear, but it wasn't enough to stop me.

Very good introduction to Phyton and its capabilities in Data Science. Not so much of AI is described across the course, but it is very good to kick-start new skills in Phyton language, Data Science and Web Scraping.

Lots of great foundational learning, but in the later sections some pretty massive leaps in instructional logic. Perhaps meant to give the learner a taste of what is possible, but also a little overwhelming. Thanks!

Over all I enjoyed the course very much but there were gaps in the course materials that we struggle to complete the assignment. Perhaps this could be addressed during the practice sessions in the weekly course work.

The various plug in locations and environment we use in the course could be better explained. It appears to be an on line IDE with a python interpreter running. Hard to get views of the lab as you are doing them.

This course allowed me to learn the basics of the Python programming language and how to apply it to real life problems and data. Very much recommended if you wish to acquire these basic skills. Good job, Coursera

Good introduction to Python for data science. The quality of teaching materials is ok, the examples used are not very useful or inspiring. You will come away with a few Jupyter notebooks for future code building.

The materials are okay, but more exercises are needed to help students get more hands-on experience. Also, a lot of instructions are complicated and seem to be outdated (technical details on using IBM Watson lab)

The course is perfect for me, because I already know Python (so I can skim through material quickly just review the data science related stuff) but to people new to programming, this course may be going too fast.

The course gives a good Introduction to working with Python. Minus 1 Star because the final assignment relies on a given block of code, instead of being a project, which one can solve just with what was learned.

Some of the video modules didn't have up-to-date information, but the labs were very helpful. The IBM Cloud services were slightly challenging to configure. The Cognitive Class Labs tools were very easy to use.

Fort intéressant. Cependant, il y a plusieurs fonctions qui sont simplement données dans les laboratoires, sans qu'elles soient expliquées.

J'ai dû faire des recherches pour comprendre à quoi elles servaient.

Few things could have been better like more explanation for complete beginners. This course is still great for all the exercises and content. I am now taking it again to understand it better. Thanks Coursera

Overall, a good introduction to using Python to work with data. Towards the end of the course, a couple of the assignments didn't work, and I felt like I was just copying or running code I didn't understand.

Thank you for the great course! The only feedback I have - it was not clear how to use make_dashboard function neither from the labs nor from the videos. Perhaps, consider explaining it a bit better. Thanks!

I enjoyed this - probably one of the clearest Python beginner classes.

IBM Cloud on the other hand is quite challenging to navigate - not very intuitive and needed the extra careful "follow the instructions".
