The course is good for learning how to manipulate files, writing functions, and dictionaries. However, there should be more practice exercises for csv file writing. The last assignment is a little difficult but doable, if proper attention is given during the video lectures.

Great course to follow the Python Basics course. The instructors have a great method of teaching and then reinforcing the basics in more advanced situations. I'm even surprising *myself* with some of the problems I've been able to solve and the code I've been able to write.

I loved everything about this course. Taught me so much, especially about functions and how to use them much more effectively. The only thing that was tough for me to understand was the While loops, I just didn't understand with the examples that were being used.

This is a great course. the explanations are clear, there are the interative page that allows us to run code and test many times what we have learned. I really like that the videos are not too long and we can do exercises watching them. I am learning a lot.

Continuing on the previous course, "Python Functions, Files, and Dictionaries" provides a solid introduction to handling files, dictionaries and functions, and also little nuances and quirks that are unique to Python. Well-paced, and extremely enjoyable.

It was a good course because of the concepts addressed, pretty much what the title says. The only constructive thing that I have to say is that the course can be improved by adding more challenging problems, because at some point they become repetitive.

I loved this class. They cover the material is a slow and methodical manner. The instructors are clear and concise in their lectures. I've learned a lot and look forward to finishing this specialization before moving on to more advanced Python classes.

This course is a great way to continue learning python. The lectures are well structured and the interactive book is one of the best tools I have seen for learning a new programming language. It is also not too intensive so it is very easy to complete.

The Runestone plateform is sometimes not working and the revision feature crashes a lot. Moreover, I wish there was a book to revise some things... other than that, it is a great course and you do learn a lot. The lecturers do a good job at explaining.

Things are getting more challenging and exciting with this 2nd course in the specialization. Topics build on previous lessons and apply them in more challenging ways. I'm really glad I took this series of courses to help me get the right skills I need

This course is well designed to give its learners the best learning experience. Every concept is explained in a simple manner with good examples. All of the tools available for reading and practicing have been really helpful throughout the course.

Effective course who are planing to practice about pyhton file handing regarding dictionaries, tuples csv or text. Interactive textbook is still amazing for hands on practicing. Final assignment is a little bit challenging task but it's really fun.

If you are a beginner, this course would be the best place to start and build your base. The interactive book used in this course in extraordinary and really gives you an opportunity to practice a lot. I would thank Prof. Resnick and Prof. Oney.

Really good course on Python Fundamentals and Dictionaries. The data structures were well-explained. I have taken a few Python courses before even the very good one from Dr. Chuck Severance (Python for everybody) and this is the best one so far.

This is an excellent course for learning Python in depth. This is much different than YouTube videos, where you just follow along. You actually apply what you learn here with assignments, and it's much easier to get ahold of what's going on.

This course is great, helped me to understand the working of dictionaries and files better. Also eventhough Iam a computer science student this is the first time I am hearing about a nameless function which I think is going to be very useful.

The second course in the Python 3 Certification sequence. The instructors are very experienced introducing concepts and then expanding on them to ensure you internalize the skill. This is a hands-on practical course. It is worth your time.

Excellent course!

Very detailed explanations are provided for all the concepts. The practice (runestone) exercises are very nice. Textbook has been very helpful and the assignments were practical. Thank you so much for this wonderful course.

Very good interface really started to enjoy developing code in Python,only one thing I like to highlight is that the inputs for the final project i.e sentiment analysis were less,please modify that part a bit.

Thank you all instructors...

Amazing lectures and professors. Love the dry humor of professor Resnick. The textbook is super helpful. The final project might need a little more explanation and also emphasize the method of csv output. But overall very engaging class

The course was very good and tutors were maintaining the interest levels and kept them increasing from one lecture to another lecture and made the learning process much interesting. Overall not only I liked the course but also loved it.

A wonderful learning resource. So very thorough and explains everything. The lecturers are friendly and have easy voices to listen to. This is the best course teaching a programming language that I have encountered. Top recommendation.

This course is amazing and the instructors have special skills of explanation. I now feel very confident to complete the overall specialization. I also like the special bonus jokes made by Prof Paul Resnick at the end of each section.

Extremely fun and challenging this, even better than the last one. The lessons on dictionaries were exceptionally good. The project was a little bit intimidating at first but once you know what to do, it's easy peasy lemon squeezy.

This is an excellent second course in Python that builds on the Python Basics course. The only downside is it relies on running Python solely within their pre-built environment. The textbook and the lectures are quite useful.
