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....

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.

This is actually a really great start for beginners in python. I am an intermediate python developer so for me it was too basic, but still a nice refresher for all the basics that we sometimes forget.

this couse deserse ZERO stars!!!! many if not all the students that attemded this course cert, have troube with the final project, they ask for help and the help that has been given, does not help but complicates the problem. bugs and glitches with the jupyter notebook are suspected. i can not continue with this cert course.

I cant unenroll after completing, I had to complete the specialisation. Coursera is using students to earn money nothing else. Unenroll section said you loose if you have completed the course. But now i cant unenroll and get myself enrolled in next course. This course was easiest I didn't have to do this.

Course did not teach me Python as much as try to teach me how to use black box software. I want to code, not plug data into already written code. Yes, that would be fine in the future, but there is no good explaination as to what is expected by using these, I will call them subroutines.

I'm a beginner and the videos don't help you with the quizzes at all. I've spent more time typing and retyping the code based on the videos than actually learning and gotten nowhere due to extreme frustration. Total waste of time, moving on to a different Python course.

Are you kidding me!! This instructor does not know how to teach. I am more lost than ever... with her Whoo Hoo and all is just not professional. I cannot believe you have this as a course. NOT WORTH THE MONEY. I wanted to give less than one star. How do I cancel

Not good. When stumped there is no where to talk to anyone on what I am doing wrong.

There is no feedback on what is wrong, only when I figure out the code on what is being done correctly.

It if frustrating and hard to figure this out when you are all alone.

I like the course but I doubt I'll be able to get the certificate. I'm not great at math and while I can get through the lessons, the tests aren't coding tests, they are math tests. Unless you're really good at math you're going to struggle with this one.

For Practice Quiz: Lists Practice Quiz. • 30 min. • 6 total points available.6 total points. In my opinion, code that completes the required outcome should not be marked as incorrect, as there are many ways to code a problem. This is just petty!!!

The course feels like an online class at college. I hated college. I much prefer Codecademy's style of lessons. Wanted to get right into it with downloading Python, Anaconda, etc. Watching video lectures and take quizes ain't it..for me at least.

The video information does not carry over well to the quiz material. This course makes the quiz material very hard to grasp and does not allow you to practice the basic skills because you are too caught up looking into pointless arithmetic.

Solutions are buggy. Quizzes do not provide a solution. Hard to learn if there are no solutions. The first two weeks of the first course is pretty bad. I would recommend Google's Professional Certification in Data Analytics instead.

WARNING: if you try to sample this course and see how it is for 15 minutes , you will be enrolling yourself into a subscription that make you pay over $50 from your payment method even if you never really even started the course

Introductory videos were too long and too many and the learning experience would be better without them. The lecturer was repetitive and artificially excited. There is no need to tell me I am doing great in every video clip.

NOT FOR BEGINNERS. They even tell you in the course to go learn Python some where else. Save the frustration and do that first. If you want to be certified, go learn Python first, then come back here to take the tests.

rushed, missing information and if the code is closely correct... an explanation of the best practice would have been better. of course, outside research can be done but this course needs more than just 3 minute videos.

The videos and the examples are not helpful as far as when you do a quiz. The information that is being taught is FAR from what were quized on. Maybe the quizzes can be coser to look like what we learned in the course.

can I please have a refund, the code blocks part isn't useable or something and It is a complete waste of my time to try and figure it out or beg your support to help figure out how to get this toy environment to work

the final project is completely counterintuitive and has a lot of bugs that require workarounds.

especially the browse button and the submission process are arduous - which has nothing to do with the actual assignment.

I'm trully disapointed. I've just finished UX certification program and was amazing. Her eis super long 8 sec jingle and jokes who are not funny at all. It;s strange and definitly not nice atmosphere.

Berbattı! Programcı olduğum halde böyle berbat bir eğitim kursu görmedim!! Final submission kısmında yaptığınız berbat zorluklar yüzünden ödevi submitleyemedim!! O yüzden kursu da bitirememiş oldum!!

This is not a beginner level course. The videos are really short, and the quizzes are really complex. The course is for someone who already has a good understanding of Python programming.

This is a terrible python course. Its way too short and only teaches you a few things. If you really want to learn python look at some of the FULL python classes.

I had completed 4 Weeks of the course with the graded assignments, but when I opened it for completing the week 5 I was automatically unenrolled from the course
