The course was very comprehensive and easy to understand. The instructors made sure that they are giving the information in a way that won't make me confused. Thank you so much for this great course!

It's a must join course for the people who want to deep dive into the world of Python. I really loving this course very much. I wanna explore more hence opting for other parts of this specialization.

The course is informative, but can leave you hanging in terms of not explaning things in depth enough to complete some of the problems. I found myself going back to course material several times as well as looking at outside sources to get a better explanation on how to to certain problems. The overall goal is critical thinking, but some more problems that go over finer details of commands and how to implement them would be helpful.

I felt the lectures were too long, with many repetitions that after a while offered little to me. Exercises, questions and quizzes (inc programming) were a good revision of prior knowledge. In total, I learned few new things and mostly cleared some concepts in my head. I can't see how this course is a continuation of Py4E, but it's a very good starting point for someone that has no prior programming experience.

Great course, the autograder is sometimes very precise. I recommend completing your assignment at least a few days before the deadline as you might need to get help from the discussion board.
The staff on the discussion board usually gets back to you within 24 hours. Very impressed with the quality of the responses I've received.
Definitely recommend the course! Will try to complete the specialization.

First, I want to thank the University of Michigan for this amazing formation and all the teachers. I have never heard about python before and now I can do a lot in it just with your formatio.there are courses that I have less understood. On the other hand, I liked very much the exercise and the final test. I find it so helpful. Finally, I recommend python basics for every beginner in python.

This is a good course to develop understanding to the basic concepts of python. The scope of this course is not to develop understanding to the overall basics of python programming. I would say this course did a very decent job within its scope.
If you are out there and looking for a course on python Basics and have no prior knowledge to programming, then this course is for you.

Muy buen curso. Explica claramente los conceptos teóricos necesarios para comprender el lenguaje y llevarlo a la práctica con facilidad. Sin embargo, considero que las evaluaciones son un poco fáciles. Creo que deberÃan poner un poco mas de dificultad con proyectos de finalización que involucren todo lo aprendido en pocos problemas o en uno solo.

Very detailed and easy-to-understand introduction into Python. The interactive textbook was very helpful. However, the content of the videos overlapped a bit too much with that of the reading assignments. In the end I gave up on the videos (which were too slow for me) and only read the textbook in order to complete the exercises.

Instructors are very good at explaining core Python and programming concepts. This is an excellent course for someone with no programming background. For those with previous programming experience but looking to develop Python skills, it may be frustrating as there are not enough actual programming assignments.

This was a very detail oriented course which guided me very well. I could comprehend the course pretty well, because of application based questions and with the help of CodeLens I could understand how the codi actually works and iterates. I thank all the mentors and individuals who helped compiling the course.

In general I have to say it was the best python basics course I can find. I learned very well. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is the lack of support. We weren't getting responded to at all. No teaching staff were replying. So it was as if I'm watching online tutorials with nobody to help me understand.

I recommend it for beginners who has no experience in programming but not for people who has a strong experience with any language and I think that it will be better if assignments are a bit harder. I think that but very thanks to instructors as they did their best to encourage us to finish this course.

Overall, it's a pretty good introduction to Python. Some of the back and forth between the course materials and videos is a little cumbersome (especially when the reading has a required video that repeats what the UMich people explained in their video) but other than that it was what I needed.

Great job! For an intro to Python I wish this course had far more practice problems with answers so that the information could just be drilled in. The additional practice problems could be optional but I wish there was an opportuniy to drill in the info harder after each week or module.

It's an good course to start with Python Basics. It's content is good, and even the teaching faculties content delivery is also good. but the problem is that it has more of the same questions in both exercise and practice which might be irritating as doing same question again and again.

You will get through this course very quickly (as in a few days) if you already understand programming in another language. However, I found it important to go through it to understand the quirks and nuances that are unique to python. Also the practice gets you used to the syntax.

Really this course is amazing , i learned so many thing that are very important to understand a big thing . With a strong base you can stay for a long time - that thing i learned from this course .
A big thanks to the course mentors who teach each thing with a clearification.

The material within the course was essential for Python developers and the exercises provided quick practice to build the skillset offered by the course. There are numerous typos and formatting issues that made it feel as though the effort to provide the material was careless.

Great course for beginners. If you have any prior experience then it might feel slow. The videos and the recommended readings after each video feel a bit redundant, but I would still recommend visiting the runestone page after every video since it has some extra information.

A very good introductory course to Python programming. One lacking point is the tutorials are very easy, and the completion score is based purely on percentage completed. While I feel I have learned a lot, I do not feel as if this knowledge has been satisfactorily tested.

The course is very interactive and helps you learn by practicing the code in code lens which I found very helpful for my understanding. But the mobile application of the Coursera needs some work, it lacks the freedom to learn while one is mobile and without the laptop.

The course is very well structured and I think it could be very helpful for absolute beginners in Python. Personally I've found it quite boring since I start programming 3 years ago but it's a good way to learn well the Python sintax: "Ripetita Juvant"

The teaching sequence is slightly off. Some execrises were not quite solvable until we complete some chapters in later session of the course. Also I would like to have the model answer as there were some questions that I did not answered 100% correct.

Has awesome studying tools. However, video explanation is not as good or enough for the studying tool I guess. Studying tools are just enough for continuing the course, and the video did not help that much to make it easier to understand the course.

Overall this is an excellent introduction to Python. My only criticism is that it uses "scribbling on a screen" to present the information. There has to be a better way of illustrating points other than watching someone try to write using a mouse.
