It is a good course and teaches with the basic of Python so that anyone can understand it very well. Videos are good and can easily be understandable to anyone who is new to Python and Data Science.
AD
Briefly it covers a lot of topics. Learnt many new things in such a short span of time. Its just that the Hands on tool was a little slow. Rest everything was pretty simple and its good for beginners.
CD
All the basics for Data Science with Python. You wont be a master programmer after this class but you will understand the basics and computer logic in regards to data handling and cloud management.
PP
I liked the course as it gives a quick introduction to the concepts of python and its libraries Pandas and Numpy. I really enjoyed doing lab work using IBM Watson Studio. It was a great experience.
KK
Extremely informative and beginner friendly content.The quizzes and specially the practice questions are very helpful to clear basic concepts.Thoroughly enjoyed the content.Thanks IBM and Coursera !!
PA
A nice introduction to Python! I would have liked assignments that were a little more in-depth, but other than that the course content was well laid out, easy to understand, and a solid foundation.
MG
Good tutorials, well introduced. Kudos!Some labs and exercises were too complex for starters; however, quite useful as code later in practice.Many names could be shorter, simpler, more descriptive.
SM
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.
EM
i​t becomes easier wand clearer when one gets to complete the assignment as to how to utilize what has been learned practical work is a great way to lerarn which was a fundamental part of the course.
SV
It was a fantastic learning experience, especially the project part and review mechanism is flawless. Could improve support related to IBM cloud-related queries. Otherwise overall a good experience.
DR
This course was really helpful in make me understand all the topics of Python from scratch, including the slightly advanced topics, of APIs, for my level as a freshman just getting settled in college.
