It is a good course if you have previous knowledge in python, in my case I did not have too much expertise in Programming and it was very difficult the las 2 weeks (4 and 5). However i learned a lot.

Great Course work just more needs to be explained. I searched a lot to find more information as a beginner. But a great introduction will recommend it if you're starting out without any experience.

The course assignment was very very difficult, I think it would be toughest task for non programming background people to complete this course, it should be less difficult so that new peoples can perform it easily.

An extremely basic overview of Python, and a poorly done one at that. Someone with even a bit of Python knowledge will learn nothing at all. For others there are much better alternatives available online for free!

The subjects taught were hastily taught at a very rapid pace. Also the assignment steps weren't clearly mentioned and coupled with the Watson Studio problems this course was definitely the worst till now.

There are multiple technical problems with the labs for this course. The content provider does not respond to technical support requests. Not recommened, I am going back to Udemy for my learning needs.

The labs are broken on this course, going by the forum discussion they have not worked for some time.

I would encourage IBM or other sponsor of the course to update/fix it ... or Coursera to remove it.

The instructions are outdated and the instructors do not care to reply. I am stuck on the Week 5 project and there is no solid solution provided to solve the issue. A really pathetic experience here.

hard to follow videos, tests ask questions that arent covered in lessons, forcing you to do your own research. buggy labs that often dont work leaving you frustrated and unmotiovated.

The worse way to teach programming! Week 5 is horrible! I can't believe and don't believe any positive reviews about this course. I cancelled my subscription after this course.

The course is artificially extended through content locks, so that students who wish to finish it have to pay at least two months worth of a course you can finish in a weekend.

there needs to be more in depth of the course and visuals and better excercise. I had major problem understanding python. Youtube seems to know how to teach this course.

one of the most lazily prepared course, with terrible pace and flow and tens of technical issue. Also the python taught in some of the videos were the old python version.

Severe tech problems on external labs and while the Coursera support is timely and good, the problems are not on my (user) end. It's the external websites.

videos are taught at fast pace, labs does not allow copy and paste, there are not support materials on presentations slides, lessons are marketing ibm

typos and the leaps in logic are dramatic. the lessons versus the final project are significantly different. i am not satisfied with this course.

Poorly written labs and assignments. I ended up spending more time to make sense out of them and set things up than I spent on learning python.

This course is not a beginner course. Unfortunately the material was too vast and too complex for me to get a foothold in.

Many of the queries went unanswered and IBM Labs were not working half the time.

Regret taking this pain for this course.
