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.

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.

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

The Python functions are not fully and clearly explained.

The instructions are utter crap and difficult to follow

Very disappointed with this course. This is almost a cliffs notes to python. Just flying through only the very basics of key concepts that form the foundation for building further learning. There is no additional reading provided, no explanation of behind the logic of hierarchy (other than to follow it correctly, or any explanation of the overall framework that Python follows. The lectures dont adequately prepare you for the assignments for each week which is extremely frustrating. I have started the Python basics course by U of Michigan and it is a world apart when it comes to the quality of the lessons. Very disappointed by U of Penn.

The course is poorly structured. It goes from 0 to 100 within each chapter; the videos and quizzes are easy, then the programming assignments are monsters. I also find it unfair that it cost $79/month since most individuals will definitely take longer to solution for these abysmal end-of-chapter assignments. Mega python at Udemy takes you from beginner to advanced at a lower cost.

I am so glad I took this intro to Python to see what I could expect at MCIT before shelling 40k: a pretentious, branded course with very little teaching, and mostly self-learning.

Hard pass.

The explanations are very short, pass very quickly over the subject, do not explain important information. At the end, you get assignments which are much more difficult than the task during the class. No help in the Discussion Forums for your problems during the assignments or you have to wait several weeks until you get a feedback. The e-learning was not monitored for over 2 years. I am sure there are better e-learnings for Python.

poor curriculum.

and VERY unkind introduction for beginners.

Many students took this class disappointed, do NOT just believe the name of UPenn guarantee this courses' quality.

Now I know why UofMichigan's class is the most famous one in python class in Coursera

This course isn't for beginners. You need to know how to already code in Python to follow the course and especially do the assignments. It might be an introduction to programming concepts but it doesn't start at the begining for coding.

This course is VERY VERY POORLY STRUCTURED AND TAUGHT.

Submitting the end assignment is a total nightmare. There is definitely something wrong with the system and there is NO ONE AVAILABLE TO HELP.

I AM NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL.

On my certiicate of this course my name is showing muhammad baig but on coursera account my name is Muhammad Saqib Baig. Please correct it and send it again.

Not for beginners at all. I just started python and this course confused me even more. Python for everybody is better for beginners

Abosulely terrible. Unable to comple event week 1, and after reaching out still nothing

no esta actulizada la imformacion para descargar jupiter no da control sobre el mismo

I think that is one of the worst courses which I passed in Coursera!
