This course in plenty of errors that make your experience an unnecessary troubleshooting one.

The material was good for intro. Some of the quizes had the wrong answers

easy to follow, but too many mistake

Absolutely terrible course. Why? All kind of mistakes. For example in Week 2 two of the practive quizzes were quizes on Visual Basic not Python. How did that happen? In the videos where it would prompt the viewer a question it would present wrong answers to the question like in one example it asked what the sum was for a loop and it was 15(or maybe 21. Can't remember) but the answers you could only choose from where 1,2 or 3. Even in the graded quizzes there was at least one example where it marked the right answer as wrong and the wrong answer as right. This example I'm talking about asked the test taker what does this evaluate to: not False or True. It evaluates to true(just try it out it in interactive python shell to see) but that was marked as the wrong answer. Also the visual studie for Python that we were supposed to use didn't really work at least at handling the input function to get input from the user. I would type something and it wouldn't appear. So I'm without a doubt NOT continueing with the rest of the specialization. Too many mistakes that should have been caught

Absolutely terrible. Several of the quizzes are VB questions with no mention of the VB language. Some questions have wrong answers. These issues have been noted for at least a year and nothing has been done to fix the course.

This course is not detailed enough for an absolutely beginner and should not be labeled as an introduction. I was able to work through the course due to my previous Python experience. Not recommended for new learners or anyone for that matter.

Quiz answers are sometimes different than what they teach us (example: the answer to concatenate strings was & when it should've been +) and code that is submitted for some assignments that are clearly correct and exactly what they ask for, is failed and doesn't even tell you why.

The course is terribly maintained, with many errors in the practice and graded quiz. Contents are not updated till even relatively newer version of Python. WASTE OF TIME, DON'T DO THIS COURSE OR SPECIALIZATION.

The tests contain irrelevant questions not related to Python. There are a lot of mistakes in the tests' grading. Do not recommend

extremely basic and superficial. It does not touch on topics such as test automation or operating system scripting.

Assignments are always marked incorrect.
