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.

The optional exercise in Week 5 is a little difficult to follow but other than that, this course is very detailed and useful.

It was a good course, but the last week's peer graded assignment wasn't much helpful and it didn't make much of a sense to me

This course gives a good understanding of the python basics. The only improvement would be to provide more hands on practice

A good course. The final project isn't really that great. The "Data Science" aspect of the course isn't really that strong.

Excellent Course. But in hands on sessions, it is seem like simple codes only we have to do.anyway Great Ideas. Thank You.

Creo que algunos ejercicios deberian ser mas didacticos, pero el medodo de ense;anza a si lo avala. Gracias por el curso.

The course is pretty good but at the later parts there were some methods which were not explained and had to google them.

The course was pretty good for the beginners in python but can be too basic for someone having a basic knowledge already.

A simple English and including more basic concepts could be more helpful. But I appreciate a lot. Thanks Coursera & IBM.

Good course! Instructor talks a bit fast and sometimes a 2 second break won't hurt. Better than stopping video manually.

It's a basic python course, but delivers what it promises.

It could improve having some optional advanced topics in it.

Enjoyed the labs but the videos are too dull, i.e. often just a list of possible code with little illustration/examples
