About the Course

This course is designed to teach you the foundations in order to write simple programs in Python using the most common structures. No previous exposure to programming is needed. By the end of this course, you will understand the benefits of programming in IT roles; understand basic Python syntax; explore different code editors and developer environments; be able to write simple programs using Python; figure out how the building blocks of programming fit together; and combine all of this knowledge to solve a complex programming problem. We'll start off by diving into the basics of writing a computer program. Along the way, you’ll get hands-on experience with programming concepts through interactive exercises and real-world examples. You’ll quickly start to see how computers can perform a multitude of tasks — you just have to write code that tells them what to do....

An excellent course for those who want to boost their programming abilities on Python. It tackles diverse and challenging problems, for you to practice and round out every concept. Highly recommended!

Course presentation is good. Topic selection is good. Selected Strings, Lists, tuples and Dictionaries, using these program logic can be build. Examples are good and interesting. assignments are good.

The course was poorly structured. You can hardly solve the quiz with what the course content covered.

Too much maths and the course failed to connect the math to real world life that would give you so many doubtful moments.

If you take this course, please expect to google/ Youtube/ Read from other sources.

Not what I expected and it's not for beginners for sure.

The lessons by themselves are interesting and nicely explained. The issue I found was with the quizzes, tests and labs, The lessons may have been good on their own but they did not prepare you for the tests. It was being taught how to add two numbers and then being tested on multiplication. Yes, you can eventually figure out the answer but not easily.

I believe this course is not a great introduction to python. I found myself researching much of the terminology on my own. In addition, the instructor kept telling me to go back and review the video if I don't understand. It didn't seem to matter how many times I rewatched the video, still didn't make sense.

Curso confuso, não tem um texto base de apoio. Os exercício no Jupter Notebook são confusos.

O curso é básico, mas foca muito em função desde o início, o que dificulta o aprendizado para um iniciante.

Eu já tinha feito outro curso de Phyton da Michigan University, que é bem mais didático e fácil para iniciantes.

I've already discovered a few errors in the grading and a few misleading questions made to confuse people with bad wording. I was expecting much more quality. I've been able to make 100s on everything but there are just far too many bugs. Very disappointed I allowed it to renew. Never again. Avoid Coursera.

Very difficult for me to understand, even after rewatching several times. I needed other websites to help with the practice questions and tests. The examples started at >> print("Hello world!")<< to stuff like >> defining functions from scratch. smaller steps please. I apologize that I am not very bright.

i really started struggling after week 2. I even went back a dozen times to understand the concept, I guess you have to have some experience to do python. this was my 2nd time doing it. I wanted more support or even tell us how to get to the answer so we know how to do it... need more help.

Most videos and quizes are very poorly correlated. You will constantly get introduced to problems that while are within the same space, are nothing even remotely close to examples set forth in the training material.

I could understand the explanations, but I have weak math skills, and almost all the quizzes were basically math quizzes. A "for example" in each question would have helped immensely. Had to quit the course.

Instructions and videos are so simple and short and fast, unlike the quizzes which require previous knowledge. I don't advise this course for beginners it will make them hate programming.

It's okay but many of the xamples they have you solve don't have answers provided for them so It's very hard to figure out what you did wrong for both examples and tests.

No esta traducido y es complicado seguirlo ya que la traducción de los videos no coincide con el tiempo del video, las pruebas tampoco están traducidas.

Not good for beginners. Tons of math, videos are helpful and fun but don't adequately go over the complex questions posed on the graded assessments.

too much stuff to do for a crash course, ok that we need for the next courses but it is long for someone that knows how to program some python

Absolutely out of order and with tons of missing spots. tests are extremely tricky and not so much of a learning curve, at least on my case.

the course is good but this 2 star is for the missing part in functions ie) the two types of arguments that was not included improve it

Not enough to build off of, you end up doing more online searches because this course won't teach you the fundamentals.

I will have to go take a different Python course 1st to pass this one. There is not enough practice.

Problems were very hard to figure out without assitance.
