They are not kidding about basic. This module is great for anyone who has never seen any programming language before; for the rest of us, it's hours of tedious repetition on topics we can easily translate the knowledge too. Way too much time is lost with the instructors writing out every little thing and trying to teach their methodology of mapping out each code step; just show it with a print statement and be done with it. The notebook is a great idea but needs help - questions don't give you all the information needed to solve the problem the way the instructors want you to; instead, you have to decipher what they want/don't want by looking thru the failure messages

Examples were not good in many ways. For instance. When learning how to index a list, they used position 3, with the number 3, that made it confusing.

Videos and assignments don't line up with the table of contents making it so you have to dig around to confirm you are in the right place.

When learning patterns, they chose variables that contained the same letters as they used for variables, making it confusing.

Videos would cut off or not complete the sub-chapter examples in some key places where it would have been helpful to have an explanation.

This course is quite slow-paced and unnecessarily stretched.It just teaches us the concepts but fails to invoke any creative ways in student's mind on the implementation of the concepts.Also,it's quite theoretical and doesn't have much assignment problems to practice the concepts with, just mcqs

Overall OK but the jokes from the instructors make the course really cheap. Also python basics should include classes functions and so on but none was mentioned here. With the info here you can only write print statements and really small projects and not more.

Assignments included in this course are too easy. It kind of robs you of the satisfaction, which one gets after a steep learning curve. I must admit the instructors are good especially, the sir who cracks PJs at the end of every section.

A satisfactory course overall, it is good for someone not acquainted with coding. However, since I had experience in coding with C and C++, many questions and explanations to things did seem very easy to be included in the course.

course is free why he has show paid course many students are complete course free with certificate if i enroll when course is free why he has paid course please give a solution i complete 93%

very basic, and low pace not recommended for someone who ever had done any programming. But great for somone who is compleatly new to programming.

Excellent training some more than practically knowledge is required. Your tools are different python 3.4 tools is different.

They could of taught the concepts in a better order and went into more detail, ideally they would have a better teacher.

The course was awesome!!

the faculties, the video, and the assignments were amazing and just right for the course.

The interactive text book is a great tool, however, the course is quite simple and need more exercise

i have not been able to get to the Runestone textbook, just about ready to cancel/refund - heavy $$$

Though title is Basics, Its really very basic course and doesn't cover important concepts like OOP.

I don't finish the course, but is very interesting and didactic. I want a oportunity to finish

Their testing system was so week! It should not be that easy to complete the course.

This is a really great course, but I think that they could make it more challenge

some questions I felt really unprepared for and the textbook didn't always help

Very very very basic, not only for python. Why can't I unenroll this course...

Good, but simple in terms of programming overall.

A nice course which covers the basics of python.

It is basic but I learnt graphics little bit

Great start for learning Python.

learned ,something from coursera

It was a great learning process
