Absolutely amazing. The course content & the instructors are just awesome. The practise exercises & the projects are so not so straightforward but enforce all the concepts learnt pretty well.

A very simple and non-intimidating intro to python. I definitely got the gears going in some of the example problems and it was fun to feel like I was back in college again. Would recommend this one.

The course was really great and the instructors are really cool!

The only problem being the over-stubborn and strict style of final assessment.

the course needs more practices in the learning session but its straightaway leading to large projects and its very difficult for a beginner.

The course didn't cover all of the essentials for python programming in my opinion. Missing for loops, lists, etc.

A fairly good course for the beginners of python but I think there is more to teach for a beginner.

i appreciated the exercises. The explanations were too long and redundant, especially the talking.

decent course until the final project. that was a case where you need to know one or two syntax related things found nowhere on hte internet and just have to end up trying a trillion different things by guessing until something ends up working

There was insufficient instruction in order to do the project. When I asked for help, I was given examples that didn't work. I was not guided to any additional reading amterial. I read all the material provided and watched all the videos.
