I really do not recommend this course for beginners who know nothing about Programming , this is not the best source you can get programming basics from . I walked through this course successfly because of my previous knowledge about programming basics and of course from youtube videos for more details , simple explanation for this course topics !

It´s really unacceptable that you come back 3 months later when I reported an issue. 3 months!!!! Honestly, save your time and don´t ask me if I STILL need assistance, what in god´s name possesses you to believe someone is waiting 3 months for your reply to continue with the course??

My biggest complaint about this course is there isn't much correspondance within the forums. There is mainly just one person responding to posts which makes response times slower and also streches that person thin with their responses. Otherwise, it was a good course.

There is a gap between video teaching and assignments. And sometimes your questions on the discussion forum cannot be responded to on time by the staff. They seem to forget that some students are like total beginners and have no other sources to rely on.

This course is great if you have absolutely no previous programming experience. But in all honesty, the homework that you have to do at the end of each week is way to hard for amound of explanation in the videos before.

Instruction was good, however assignments were a bit vague. Using Jupyter Notebook, while very convenient, isn't always the way people will use Python "in the field" (unless they're doing ML,of course).

the last homework is really hard and im trying since a week but my answers always get wrong. even i have consulted a tutor but i dont know what is the issue why all my answers gets wrong

It was a great course and really useful but, I have enrolled in another about python too. so things became complicated with me. but the overall course is useful. Thanks a lot

In the beginning, it is ok. But later there a lot of codes in the video just come out, the lecturer does not mention why and you have to google and learn it yourself.

This is a great course, however, it goes very fast, and going that fast, sometimes you don't get to have enough practice to actually learn all the concepts.

The code tests are hard to interpret, what exactly went wrong with the program. There's a lot of tests but it doesn't pinpoint which one failed.

The topics are interesting.

But the programming environment and homework do not always meet the topics presented in the video lessons.

This course is good for beginners, but the file i/o is not explained in detail and asked to solve big tough homework on file i/o.

Quite hard for a complete beginner to understand. Was doing well at the start but started to struggle from week 2.

the chasm between what you are taught and what you are expected to code is quite large.

Not an ideal course for a beginner. Have friend who know python before you start this

Overall an ok course. Need better debugging and support for course assignments.

I am writing to express my disappointment with the overall structure of this course. There is a significant disconnect between the instructional material and the practical requirements: Poor progression: The lessons cover basic concepts, but the assignments demand a much higher level of technical expertise that hasn't been taught yet. Reliance on external resources: Students are forced to self-teach advanced topics through external searches just to complete basic course tasks, which indicates that the provided teaching material is insufficient. Out-of-order teaching: Assignments frequently require the use of syntax or logic that is only introduced in later modules. This "test-first, teach-later" approach is counterproductive and frustrating. Strict and unhelpful autograding: The grading system is too rigid and provides cryptic technical errors instead of constructive feedback, focusing more on exact formatting than on programming logic. Technical instability: Frequent "404 Not Found" errors in the Jupyter environments further disrupt the learning experience.

Abysmally taught. Instructor only reads what is already being shown on slides, which is completely insufficient. While it was possibly to barely scrape by in basic lessons, once more complicated subjects began showing up, the lessons simply didn't explain concepts thoroughly enough. Examples provided were so basic they were utterly useless and inapplicable to the assignments, or some times completely misleading. Assignments contained blatant errors in identifying tags or in some cases such as quizzes, typos which changed the nature of the question entirely.

Subjects covered were interesting and engaging, but the teaching itself was among the worst I have experienced yet from a popular course on Coursera. Taking this specialization fully is viable only if one is willing to constantly be using outside resources to fill in the gaps left by the lessons.

The final project needs significant improvements in the clarity of the instructions and expectations. I was able to figure out a way through it but I spent the vast majority of my time trying to uderstand the instructions and expectations rather than building the code.

Bailed out at Module 1 Homework 1b Practice Writing. It is not a beginner course. Starts slow but then goes up in difficulty. If you have previously dabbled a bit in any form of programming or python then would be easier to follow.

The course covers the topic at lightening speed and then gives you a far more advanced level of computer programming assignment.

the last homework was i written the current code but the jupyter lab was having more problem please update this problem solution

This course was difficult to follow. The assignments were not intutitive and the platform was messy.

there is not enough detailed demonstration. the explanation would be more helpful
