This course has covered all the basics of Python Programming (i.e., data structures, class and methods). In addion it included Python Libries such as Numpy and Pandas along with web scriping techniques. This is a good start for beginners.

Challenging especially when you have limited Python experience. One improvement I will suggest for the whole course is to have unlimited access to IBM cloud services ( lite of course). I managed to burn trough my 50 hours way too quickly.

Very good course to learn Python, its concept from basic to advance though one is not having a very good programming foundation. Covered sections such as dataframe, vector, API, pandas etc which are essential for Data Science. Enjoyed it.

Course is constructive and good for beginners. You can include more number of assignments. Also, for every wrong answer, you can provide the correct answer and explanation. I suggest including tougher questions along with easy ones.

It was a nice introduction and extremely straightforward especially with backgrounds in MATLAB and Arduino IDE. I only struggled with the IBM cloud upload that was optional in the final project which was not clear and would get errors.

Really great foundational python knowledge from this course. It took a lot of stepping out of my comfort zone given the content is outside of my daily career but i feel like i know so much more now than i did when i started the course.

I liked the course. I feel the course was focused more on the ibm cloud storage creation issues and less on python programming. It is more of basic programming than much of ai. I wished it focused on python programming and more of ai.

The course is really good and works perfectly as a deep introduction for data analysis. However I've found some errors on the quizzes (graded and training) that need to be reviewed. I've reported the issues but got no replies so far.

A very good first look at Python, Pandas and other basic aspects of Python for Data Science. The course material, as presented in text transcription, could use a good proofreading, but otherwise it is a very solid and useful course.

It is easy to understand the basics of reaind and manage data with Pandas in Python. I think it could be better if we can go deeper into the syntax and objects and methods used on pandas to better understanding of how work with them.

I really liked the course. My only complaint is that the last two sections represent a big leap between learning basic python skills and suddenly using complex APIs like speech recognition systems without understanding them properly.

The content went a bit to quickly for me. I am completely new to computer science, and so all that new vocabulary was difficult to comprehend especially when I wasn't sure how it is typically utilized for data scientists when coding.

Issues running labs. Bokeh does not import, so its impossible to make the dashboard. Notebook would not recognize the bokeh module no matter what I did. Had to download Anaconda and a computer side service to run the lines of code.

The overall is good, but I wish this course needs to improve the interaction between learners and the Jupyter Notebook. It's kind of boring sometime when I need to only press Shift + Enter to run rather than typing code on my own.

Syllabus is well designed covers all basic concepts of python and if you already know a little python you can easily complete this course without a fuzz.

Thank you IBM and Coursera Community for this . I had a great time learning.

A solid introduction to Python that I personally found very useful. The only issue with the course is the abundance of small errors throughout the materials. Final assignment requires a bit of debugging and tweaking to get right.

The review of python basics was nice. The actual AI or data science part was only covered for a fraction of a week, so not much was gained in that regard. Also, it felt like a constant plug for using/buying rights to use Watson.

Good level for people with little to no programming experience. Very quick to complete (can be done in 1 sitting). But gives an idea about how to work with datasets, different libraries and feeds well into the following courses.

Introduces the most important features of Python. Quizzes were rather simple. The final assignment is a total mess. Without information posted on discussion forum by other learners it would be impossible for me to finish it. :-(

The first four weeks are very helpful, and then week 5 is the project. There is little to no assistance in week 5, it's more-or-less sink or swim, but it forces you to apply what you've learned. I felt like I made large strides.

This course is well structured and easy to understand even for those who do not have a programming background. Only thing that I see needs improvement is more challenging lab work or assignments to help the improve the skills.

IBM does a good job in doing the python introduction for beginners. The use of Watson studios an Jupiter notebook is good although the platform on itself can be a bit confusing at times.

all and all... great experience for me.

A great introductory course, I learnt a lot in a short time period. The labs were key to understanding the course content and for taking notes. All of the labs took me significantly longer to complete than the estimated time.

The hands on labs are very informative. Its not that difficult to complete the course if you are focused, attentive and curious.. the quiz were a bit tough with the passing percentage kept so high. great course for beginners.

The Python course is very useful and I loved it while doing it. I want to say one thing i.e I learned a lot from this course and I upskilled my level in Python by doing this course. I recommend everybody to take this course
