Course presentation is good. Topic selection is good. Selected Strings, Lists, tuples and Dictionaries, using these program logic can be build. Examples are good and interesting. assignments are good.

This course was really helpful in developing my coding skills in python.The exercises helped me to test my knowledge .Overall it was a really good for people like me who are just beginning with python

I'm completely new to programming and this was supposedly the right Python course for me as a beginner. But although I initially learned a lot from the videos and info, the problems I had to solve in the quizzes were a lot more complicated than the examples given in the videos. So I constantly had to look for an explanation or solution somewhere else. I could struggle my way through the first few quizzes, but eventually I hit a brick wall, in the form of too many problems I couldn't solve because I hadn't learned all the things necessary to solve those problems. The questions made total sense mathematically (I knew very well what they wanted me to do), but I had absolutely no idea how to make Python do it, there was just constantly something wrong no matter what I tried (or found on Google). On the discussion forums I saw a lot of people who already had quite a bit of programming knowledge, they just needed to figure out how to make Python do something specific and then they were okay. But that's not how it worked for me as a beginner, with zero programming knowledge. I even felt kind of dumb asking questions there, because to these people the solutions were probably extremely simple (not that any of them ever answered me). There's a pretty big gap between what they teach you in the videos and the problems you're supposed to be able to solve after watching the videos. The staff isn't allowed to give any solutions either, so there's very limited help there too. So yeah, basically, if you can't figure out the solution to the problems, then the course ends because you're simply not able to continue. The friendly staff says ''Happy learning!'', but I wasn't happy, and I wasn't learning anything either, so eventually I read those words in a bit of a sarcastic way. This Python course is not for absolute beginners. It's for ''beginners who already know another programming language'' or ''beginners who understand all the basics of programming". Real beginners are basically left behind on a rock in the ocean somewhere. And somewhere in the distance you can hear someone shout ''Happy Swimming!". And you know it's coming from that big cruise ship over there, the MS Python, that's slowly moving away from you, getting smaller and smaller. But you can't swim. You're just stuck on a dumb rock. And when you see the birds circling in the sky above you, you're still kinda wondering what those birds would look like in Python code. But you will never know. And you don't even have a volleyball to talk to either. And as the hours pass, and evening falls, you're slowly starting to doubt your own existence. Are you really left behind on a rock in the ocean? Weren't you learning Python earlier this week? Or was it all just a bad dream? Maybe that friendly looking crab knows the answers.

I would have given a 5 star except for the final assignment! I do not understand why the course developers did not offer to do the final assignment on the same support as the tests.
I have no problem with Jupyter. In fact, I like Jupyter and use it for my own courses. However, this did not work. I had to seriously think about circumventing the issues and this was an unnecessary distraction I did not need. If we had to fix the bugs we should have been told to do so.
Ex: upload widget. I found another way to upload my file, but wasted precious time and energy.
The final assignment should have been an assessment of the student's understanding and retention of the python programming we have learned so far.
Also, I would have done better if I would have been allowed to do the assignment from scratch. Let me do my own research and figure out how to solve the problem instead of following someone else's way that might not make sense to me.
Granting or not granting a certificate based on a buggy, ill-prepared program is unethical and financially unfair.
In addition, getting help was no help. It appears the "mentors" follow a script to answer our questions when they answered them all together.

Not off to a good start. I'm a couple of weeks in to the course and while the content is ok, if I hadn't studied some Python already I would be totally lost. My main gripe is that the instructor would be better suited to children's TV. There is way to much fluff, manufactured enthusiasm, and empty platitudes. No one is genuinely that excited by a so-called"cheat sheet". All of this culminates in the feeling of having one's intelligence constantly insulted. Learners invest their valuable time here for good information and opportunities for lots of practice. Unfortunately both are severely lacking from the course so far. As other reviewers have commented, the gap between the examples shown in the videos and the assignments and quizzes is immense. Both of the University of Michigan's Python for Everybody, and Python 3 Programming specialisations were far superior in my opinion.
