It's a must join course for the people who want to deep dive into the world of Python. I really loving this course very much. I wanna explore more hence opting for other parts of this specialization.

The course was very comprehensive and easy to understand. The instructors made sure that they are giving the information in a way that won't make me confused. Thank you so much for this great course!

Question #4 on final exam kept hanging on various browsers/computers. Yes, it turned out to be my bad coding, but had to restart the exam multiple times as a result. Whatever, very bad on your part. The browser should not die, and I should not have to restart the exam five to six times!
Class simply needs more coding, more coding, and more coding. Got it! I've taught programming of three different languages at Texas A&M University and know that students learn by doing. More "doing" (aka coding) is needed in this class.
Somehow in my career I missed out on Python, so am trying to learn the colloquilisims of the language, obviously not how to program. I expect more to come in the remainder of this course sequences with regards to that. Let's hope I am right!

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

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.

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.

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

Good, but simple in terms of programming overall.
