Ratings and Reviews for Python Project: Software Engineering and Image Manipulation

This course was not designed well from a pedagogical standpoint. I learned a ton, which was the main goal, but it was brutal and so tedious that it kind of tainted the Specialization for me. It wasn't because it was difficult -- I appreciated that. It was the fact the instructor literally reads (without inflection or emotion) the lectures to you, as the text scrolls across the screen. It would be better without him reading. I like reading. I hate being read to. (Apologies to my daughter.) Also, some of the lessons are neat but redundant and don't really build on each other. The two assignments are difficult and challenging, and I LOVED that! The problem was, it took me forever to get through the content, because of the annoying being read to. If possible, I recommend recreating this. Get rid of the videos. Have brief introduction videos at the start of the modules, and then just let students read through the module Jupyter Notebooks. The reading is horrible!!! It's not necessarily the instructor's fault. I'm not bashing him. It's just bad pedagogy. Thanks, though, for challenging me. If this had been a cakewalk, I would have given it 1 Star. This course had the most challenging assignments in all of the specialization. That was great.

really nice course to get started on computer vision

A little unclear about how to get our hands wet on these libraries. The notebook environment keeps having bugs that slow down the learning process.

Easily the weakest course of the specialization, but still very strong. Very project/independent oriented, so be prepared to work in this one. Final project submission is not well implemented. Coursera should fix the horrid text box.

Very difficult to follow through. My suggestion is to move at a much slower rate where students can grasp the whole video clearly. You can increase videos and clear the concept part by part slowly. Lost interest in almost every video.

The final project should have enabled .html or .pdf submission. And the response time of the server is pretty slow.

Bad explanation of the topic and frustrating final assignment. It is a very bad course unlike the previous four of this specialization.

Good

watch out for the the last course!! rest is totally amazing!!
