The course was a great introduction to the world of Python. I was able to understand Python concepts and start writing my own code to solve real-life problems. It was also my first Python course.

Excellent—as long as it isn’t your first course. This course heavily relies on students’ interest and their desire to explore independently. Many topics are introduced, but not elaborated on.

This is a good course with practical examples and exercises. One problem worth mentioning is that the video content is useless. Video lectures are not very engaging and are boring to listen to.
