it becomes easier wand clearer when one gets to complete the assignments as to how to utilize what has been learned. Practical work is a great way to learn, which was a fundamental part of the course.

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.

This course was very helpful for me to understand all the basic concepts in python. I learned how to code in Python programming language. It covered the portions of the course content very well. Now i can analyze the data, can make a dashboard any many more things I learned here in this courses and thanks again to COURSERA for accepting my financial aid application. I was unable to pay. But now with support I've completed my course and learned a lot.

This is a great course for beginners, looking forward to understand the basics of Python . This course is subdivided into related topics and while going through this topic there will short exercises on what you are exactly taught in the short video lectures (5 mins max) and labs.

I personally felt the lack of related projects which could have led to a better understanding .

Please try to add related short projects that will complete the course.

El curso te permite adentrarte y construir los cimientos para entender Python desde la raiz y va escalando permitiéndote comprender plenamente cada uno de los temas expuestos, los laboratorios refuerzan los conocimientos al permitirte ver los códigos y dejarte experimentar cuando cambias alguna letra, variable o texto. El programa es muy completo permitiendote ir desde lo más básico hasta otros temas un poco mas avanzados pero de manera fluida.

What a way to introduce Python!! This course is very professional, it covers all the important topics with rich information, also it has so much useful contents with lots of reading, references, labs and quizzes. Note: This course is challenging and need more time than estimated to finalize, also you can _after finishing the course_ keep the laps and the reading files as a reference to redo them after you become more advanced in Python.

This is an excellent introductory course to Python and key libraries. Just what I was looking for! I found the exercises to be fun and helpful in revising my learnings.

Compared to the first 4 courses in the IBM data sciene certification, there is definitely a lot more meat to the bone here. So be prepared for a steep learning curve if you decide to complete the course in a single stretch, even if you have a prior programming background.

Excellent Course. The lab session helps to understand the concept in details. Jupyter Notebook knowledge will help in a practical session. Speech to Text example through IBM Watson indeed gives the basic understanding of cloud computing and API. Much more examples can be added. Introduction to data writing/saving through pandas' library and analysis, help to dive in the Data Science world.

thank you for such a wonderful course.

Very intensive course with lots of new and essential information for newbies in Python. Gives if not enough knowledge to start (which is hardly achievable within short course) but gives enough understanding of direction where to search and how to do things. Final assignment appeared not to be clean and straightforward but all my questions were answered in forum (hence I suppose it was not unclear not for me only). Good luck!

The course is good but sometimes the exercise texts are not very clear and some of the lessons are very straightforward, leaving many doubts. The course should have a larger series of exercises and an automatic correction system that facilitates the review of the exercises. In addition, it would be interesting to have a module on how to use IBMDB2 without the online platform, but through Jupyter on the computer.

I was a complete stranger to python before this and this is my first python course ever, so I am not sure if I would be the best judge of the rating of a python course; regardless I feel like I've learned a lot so I will give it 5 stars. My only criticism would be that in the labs, the codes that are given could be explained more in detail, we've kind of just rolled through some of the codes given in labs.

This is a great way to learn Python for beginners. The videos are short and to the point. Instead of just showing the raw codes, the course helps you visualize how the codes are operating in the background using very simple figures/animations. The intermittent quizzes in the videos and the quizlet for each section was super helpful too in keeping track of your understanding. Highly recommend this course!

Muy buen curso, de los mejores que hice on-line. Las explicaciones son muy claras, la pedagogía es excelente, todas las clases tienen su notebook. Realmente excelente. Seguiré adelante con los cursos de la especialización. Poder probar Watson es un plus para conocer la herramienta con un pequeño contacto. No participé de los foros pero por lo que vi los responsables del curso contestan mucho.

I had a very amazing experience in learning python in this course. I highly recommend this course as it gives you detailed explanations of each lesson. The teaching style is beginner-friendly and you can easily understand complex topics into simplest terms. Also, the Jupyter notebooks provided on Lab activities is very helpful in applying the knowledge and skills I gained from the lessons.

This course is really amazing. Anyone who doesn't know about python a Lil bit can also be master in python with this course. The instructors were really amazing and taught each topic clearly. I would recommend this course to everyone who wants to learn python basics as well as explore what python can do in Data science and AI. Thank you, Coursera and IBM for providing such a great course.

It is one of the best course on Python Programming. It covers a lots about Python Data Structures (integers, strings, list, tuples, set, dictionaries), Numpy, Pandas, Objects and classess, Exploratory Data Analysis.

With video and transcripted text, quizzes and final exams, the course is well structured. It is my best loved course under Applied Data science with Python specialization.

I can imagine the amount of effort put by authors to teach the Python basics even for people with limited programming experience. Hats off to the authors and team which put together such an easy to understand notebooks. I was able to generate the URL for the dashboard though it was optional. So inspiring was the quality of teaching material, I didn't want to disappoint my masters.

Amazing course that features loads of clever videos with diagrams to break down how Python and Data Science work with many relevant hands-on labs. You'll learn Python programming, data types and structures, use coding to create and manipulate documents, data science models and calculations, data frames and really cool things like how to use IBM Watson and manipulating APIs

I have passed few courses as python for everyone (amazing course), but was stopping the course due to moving to new country, enough stress to be distracted :-)... Now, as we were been told to stay home as much as possible, the time has come to re-kindle my passion, Python!. Brilliant course due to your simple explanation knitted with straightforward animation. Well done!

This is one of the best Data Science courses I have taken! It is marked for "five weeks" but can be done in a week for beginners. It teaches Python while breaking down complex data management tasks into manageable pieces. There were some typos and out-of-date links (warning was given) but nothing major. I definitely recommend this course to people new to Data Science.
