It is a very valuable course that I have learned for the Python skillset. It contains some advanced methods. It helps me to build more confidence in using Python and understand the concept in general.

This course was really helpful in make me understand all the topics of Python from scratch, including the slightly advanced topics, of APIs, for my level as a freshman just getting settled in college.

buggy and too in-depth and complicated for this level. spent a lot of time debugging errors which for a newb is frustrating.

Not a substantial course in Data Science or AI. Essentially, it's mostly Python basics plus a little bit of data science.

Extremely IBM heavy, there is not even any IBM alternative option for the people not interested in IBM specific learning.

Needed more hands on questions and not the same ones as in the video.

Expected more from an IBM professional certificate.

Very confusing navigation and setup. Videos are rushed and extremely hard to follow, could've easily been twice as long.

Poor connection between a teacher and a student, it was just read by the computer and a feeling of learning was lacking

Super basic content. If you have a minimum knowledge on python and pandas I do not recommend enrolling in this course.

Too many things and no real practice, students would need to practice a lot more to consolidate all the information.

Very, very basic course. Mainly a marketing tool for IBM Cloud. If it would've been free it would've been worth it.

Mucha teoria, poca aplicacion. Los videos no se entienden mucho en comparacion al resto del curso de Data analyst.

I think the course materials should be reviewed. E.g., in the final exam code blocks are not formatted properly.

In my opinion, there are way too few oportunities to practice. Additionally, the IBM resources do not work well.

Really average course, confusing in terms of what is expected for us to know and what is part of an exercise

Don't take this up if it's your first time studying python. Videos are fast, and narrative is confusing.

While this had some useful info, the videos were painfully bland and the labs weren't very helpful.

As a beginner, it was bit advanced level course, more focused on theory instead of practical labs.

DId not teach much. Coding skills were too syntax-focused and less "think like a coder" focused.

Grading by peers is not very logical and productive

We don't need to wait 2 months for grading
