It is a good course and teaches with the basic of Python so that anyone can understand it very well. Videos are good and can easily be understandable to anyone who is new to Python and Data Science.

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 is not a course where they tell you the concepts of the Data Science behind or make you learn Python with multiple assignments. It is more of getting userbase to make use of IBM's cloud.

Nothing much taught in this course. I could have better utilized my time learning myself.

Lab tool broke part way through. When I completed the course (which was pretty much useless with out the Lab tool), it says I can now view my certificate, but no certificate shows up in my accomplishments. Coursera customer services was terrible. Never using Coursera again.

This course was not well sequenced. The labs demanded work outside of the class to complete. I bought a python text book and had to supplement my learning with the instruction and exercises provided by the book. As a teacher, I found this course to be poorly organized.

Not geat. Poor audio quality in videos. Multiple typos in videos (slideshows) and even on the jupyter notebooks. Honestly, I wish I would have taken another course from the beginning. I cancelled as soon as this course was finished and I'll be taking a non-IBM course.

Horrible! Title looks great on a resume but content is very disappointing. Videos are text-to-speech, peer review for assignment, no instructions for using Watson project, outdated instructions (when your browser accepts to show you the instructions), a nightmare.

Why are you asking my to submit a government issued ID when I was not asked this question for all my other courses? Why are you not providing me the name of the third-party ID collection app, their privacy policy or their terms of service? What is going on?

Everything is very rushed. One sped up lesson on the fundamentals of Python, and then jump straight in into the more difficult stuff. There's also no clear example of what is being taught. Also between every lesson, it feels like something was skipped.

The final assignment has totally incomplete information and I wasted a lot of my time figuring out things like data set, dashboard etc which are the details usually well defined in other courses. Really a bad assignment formation. Needs fixing for sure

I felt that the course material was written/put together by people so well versed in Python they've forgotten what it's like to not know it. The material was hard to digest, poorly presented, the audio was too fast - in general disjointed.

Il corso è ben strutturato e i contenuti molto validi, ma sul laboratorio non è possibile digitare le parentesi quadre rendendo di fatto l'esercizio pratico un supplizio. Ho contattato l'assistenza e non mi hanno offerto nessuna soluzione.

Entirely not enough explanation on a lot of topics, especially when it gets more complex. Exercises don't match the provided knowledge. Wouldn't recommend this course. Had to watch tons of additional YouTube channels to understand better.

I was not able to complete the Peer-graded Assignment. The Free Cloud Storage service provided by IBM is pathetic as I was not able to add the storage instance to my project. Tried reaching the team but still couldn't resolve the issue.

Honestly, this is the worst Python course on internet. I am amazed how many mistakes there are, with robot talking and done notebooks for you to read that btw have many mistakes. Just pure garbage. And they sell it for 39USD LMAO

Horrible course. I have had a ton of issues with the course and have been unable to post anything to the forum. Additionally, there are a number of questions already outline in the forum that have not been responded to by anyone.

Exercises from Week 3 onwards contain coding that has not been taught at all. We are here to learn and not end up Googling for codes so we can self-learn in order to complete this course.

This is not what we have paid for.

By Malle C

All the codes are filled in and you don't get ample opportunity to do them yourself. It's too easy to just skim through this class, and requires little thinking. Further, the videos sometimes rely on deprecated functions.

hello,

I am very mad with registering accounts ibm.

I paid 40$ each month. The course lasts 11 months, and I have only 1 month trial permission.

Do not mention promotion codes. I interupted when I used it.

Bad experiences.

Need to review the video contents, too quick, weak method of delivering information.

I have went through some courses on Python, they are much better than this one.

first time bumped into this mediocre course in Coursera.

There are so many typos in the graded assignment for this course that it is impossible to get a 100%. Since the questions change every attempt, it's a roll of the dice if I'll get a typo question again or not. Terrible

In initial week videos, these were same quizzes which were being asked in the video. Quality of the content is not to the market expected from IBM. Possibility that I am having high expectation from the organization.

This session has not yet started. You may access this item after the session starts on August 26, "

but today 26/08/2019 , i can't access this course.

The course assignment was very very difficult, I think it would be toughest task for non programming background people to complete this course, it should be less difficult so that new peoples can perform it easily.

An extremely basic overview of Python, and a poorly done one at that. Someone with even a bit of Python knowledge will learn nothing at all. For others there are much better alternatives available online for free!

No comprendo el idioma y al momento de hacer los talleres en la pagina, no tenia idea de como hacerlo. Pedí ayuda y no recibí respuesta, pido me retiren del curso para no afectar mi progreso con ustedes, gracias.

It does not have anything about AI, the examples are too basic, it gives you a very basic understanding. I have coursed "basic" courses of python more complete and dense than this one. It's a dissapointment
