Ratings and Reviews for Python Basics

Excelente curso, para toda persona que desee aprender Python, los profesores son excelentes y fluidos al explicar los conceptos. cien por ciento recomendado

In itself, a good course. If you want to take this course, I recommend it. If you are, however, taking this entire specialization I suggest you walk away. The final course (course 5) is a course by someone who has not been lecturing in the course, presenting something they obviously are very fond of. The course work is, and I quote, "a project with minimal scaffolding. Expect to use the the discussion forums to gain insights! It’s not cheating to ask others for opinions or perspectives". In other words, part of the learning target is to work through bad or incomplete documentation and to solve an exercise that is stated without providing the information you need to solve it. Unless someone else already went through the moves, the lecturer fully expects you to fail by yourself. If I wanted to feel the pain of learning without help or instructions, I would have just worked with the online manuals ... which is what this exercise openly tells you they want you to do. Its a shame for the other 4 courses, which are well done and have passionate lecturers.

Great course and great teachers!

I really enjoyed this course, the assignments are fun to do and give a good hands on experience. The lectures and 'textbook' quite easy to follow. I am going for the next course!

Good to learn in coursera

It was a pretty good course and the pace of the course was optimal for smooth learning. The practice features were quite helpful.

learned ,something from coursera

Great for beginner!

the class was really great. they explain to you the basics step by step, even though it takes some time, i understand this beacuse some people cannot grasp the concepts very fast. it was also helpful that there is this online book where you can read the topic again and try it in a virtual python IDE so i dont need to install python on my computer

Somewhat slow for non-Beginners, but that's the target audience after all :).
