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.

I wish I had had more opportunities to practice coding in the labs. Many of the labs exercises were already solved, so I couldn't memorize the codes as much as I wanted to. The lectures were good though.

A bit difficult for those with no prior experience with coding. Does not explain well the use of syntax with coding and does not give enough examples or practices for the basics coding syntax to stick.

The coding exercises do not work online and you have to use juptyer notebook to follow the labs (OR IBM cloud services which could charge you...) The videos were excellent and the quizzes were great.

The course seems oversimplified. A beginner would not learn from the first lessons, or the practice exercices. The course is in a good direction though. The videos are helpful but could be improved

Many errors in the data and video representations; in-video quiz assumes knowledge that was not given in video; summary quizzes for each week often repeat in-video questions and answers verbatim.

I think the part before the web scraping and API is good and clear, however, the difficulty curve suddenly go skyrocket when it comes to the part of web scraping and API, isn't it a bit too fast?

The course is ok but the lack of valid practical application is an issue. The course does not prepare you sufficiently for the final exam- some of the topics are not even covered in the course.

the course should focus on the skills of data querying and sampling, it does not explain matplotlib and how to improve data sampling, although it is a course for beginners, it has many errors

This course was very hard to understand as someone with no prior knowledge of Python. It went very fast and the speaker spoke very quickly even though I slowed it down in the settings.

Half of the final assignament points were not explained along the course. NUMPY is very tricky for the amount of time used to describe it. Anyways the methology of the course is intact

Very vague, the course goes very fast without any respect to the foundation. Not for beginners. Not passionate teachers, a professional voice person reads making it incredibly boring

Although the course offers some decent descriptions and educational materials, its lab exercises fall short of adequately supporting the learning needs of a first-time Python coder.

The course is somewhat useful but very shallow and stretched too thin to cover several "weeks" required to make up a course.
The course can be done in an evening without any problem.

at 30% completed I cannot run a lab. Having a kernel issue where I cannot input data in a lab. really furstrating. If I am paying for a course I would like it to be error free.

I thought it would be more interactive. The tools we use for assignments should be embedded into the course and not be external links. The course goes from beginner to advanced.

The content of the course is Python for Data Science, but your final project is graded very little based on Python and is instead based on your knowledge of IBM Cloud Storage.

Too much infromation in very little time not ehough to complete the exercises and understand examples. I do not recommend it unless you are familiar with Python programming.

Video's stop abruptly without completing sentences - especially when displaying quizzes. Labs and assignments are not clear and/or complete making them difficult to follow.

I found being thrown so much information like this, wasn't really helpful. I'm not really sure what I retained by the end of the course. It really wasn't that interactive.

This course neither is a beginners introduction to python nor does it fully satisfy an intermediate/full python course. It tries to be both but fails at becoming anyone.

Informative yet some of the videos contain errors and the final assignment requires a lot of time for just signing up to various systems to be able to complete the task

Easy introduction, Week 5 assignment is poorly integrated and will cause you to spend a large amount of time just uploading and sharing your dashboard to the IBM cloud

Good content but a real hassle using their notebook for the code. Also, I felt the final project had very little to do with the coursework from the previous 4 weeks

Really not great. PReaty confusing some times. Not enough deep dive on specific topics and really needs to be more practical. THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO LEARN CODING

I think the purpose of this course is good, but the implementation is quite poor. The videos do not match with the lab exercises to learn these topic properly.
