It was a little short and the quizzes and short assignments are too easy, so they do not really cement your knowledge of the programming concepts. I believe beginners should enroll in another Python course or self-study more on the side to fully grasp the concepts. Nevertheless, it was a good introduction to Python.

Easy MOOC for starters

This course is way tooooooo easy for me. I'm a PhD candidate in statistics. I think it will be nice if I can have a diagnostic survey to test whether this course is suitable for me or not before the course.

The videos were very slow and many contained useless information.

too basic for me, excellent for programming newbies

It's too easy most of the time; the assignments are not challenging enough.

Very nice course but a shame you cannot do any of the quizzes without an upgrade to the payed track.

I think it could have less videos teaching how to install Python and more about the language principles.

This course is indicated to anyone looking for an overview of Python programming. All Assignments and Quizzes are quite simple problems. To be honest, I expected more of this course.

Too easy

It was really detailed I liked it. I won't really recommend it for people who have experience in programming, because the material is very rudimentary, but I believe it is a perfect course for beginners to start with.

This course is too basic....perhaps squeeze more material since it assumes you don't

I'm sure this is a fantastic introduction for those with no prior programming experience, but as someone with even just a little bit of prior scripting experience, I found it extremely slow-paced. Rather than suffer through the lectures, I did DataCamp's Intro. to Python and then did all the quizzes & assignments for this class as extra practice.

Easy to understant the basic concepts of python, including variables, loops, exception handler, etc.

It was a bit too easy. But a good foundation for the "Everybody" audience.

a bit slow but good for someone with zero experience

The course is not bad, but it teach Python 2! It Should teach Python 3.

The final exercise it took a long time to figure out what the autograder would except.. My solution met all the requirements but still was ignored.. I finally came up with a variation that the autograder accepted but it was a long hour of trial and error.

very basic

The course is too simplistic in my opinion. The entire 7 week course should be condensed into the first week - a single one hour lesson.

Still, I appreciate the time and effort of the course staff and thank them for providing the course.

good content, but slow pace. tiny increments per week

There is some good material but the presentation seems a bit uneven; some parts are repeated many times at very slow speed while other parts, equally important, barely rate a word. The quizzes can be very searching and you really need to have paid close attention to every word (however quickly or slowly it passed by).

I would have liked more practical exercises. The accompanying book is good and I am still looking forward to the other courses in the sequence which move further away from my limited knowledge of Python.

Very well conducted for a beginner, but some lectures seems too long to convey a simple concept.

A bit easy. Completed in a week

The course is pretty basic however I think it’s necessary to start with good base for the rest of the specialization courses.
