Very good indeed, the course is very helpful to learn how to code in python and to learn to think in python to do what we want to do, I have made many programs using the knowledge i gained from it

Great course for refreshing your python basics, and any beginner looking to pick up Python basics will be in a comfortable spot after completing this course and a bit of practice with the assignments.

The course was ok. I found it could use more actual hands on as you go. The exams, especially the final, were tricky. I had to take it several times because they asked for a bit of code and then said don't include the return or other keywords. If the syntax is to have it, why mark you wrong if you include it. It's part of the actual syntax.

The assignments and quizzes often contain material not covered so you have to extrapolate significantly to understand. The software doesn't allow for information on incorrect answers. The classes move slowly and the readings are not wholly indicative of the lesson.

Gostei das aulas do curso, mas na etapa final achei que faltou informação sobre como proceder para melhor concluir as etapas de programação propriamente. Acho que se tivesse um melhor direcionamento nestas etapas o curso poderia se tornar mais efetivo.

This is a great course to learn the basics of Python. Video and audio quality is low in most classes but if you keep up, you end up acquiring the essentials. It's a great place to start.

I really liked the course as an introduction to python programming. It would have even more great if we could have had more programming assignments for practice.

I thought we would see more han programming with Python. If I wanted to learn to program just with Python, I would have search for a specifical course.

Even though instructions are perfectly clear, this course uses Python 3.4 version which is really old. Hoping you upgrade the course materials.

Should provide more examples and exercises for every topic. Research the web for additional exercises if you want to learn something here.

The title says it all: fundamentals only. It's just an overview of Python, but it's a good introduction.
