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.

The cloud storage question on the final is just a ploy to get us to use IBM products and shouldn't be part of the grade. The course was a good pace and nice, slow introduction for new Python users.
