The final Project was really challenging (for me), but I am really grateful for the help provided in the Forums.

Excellent course. I enjoyed so much and learned a lot. Thank you.

The fourth week relies more heavily on the local computing machine instead of using online codesculptor, and thus I would definitely love to see more demonstration on that. The explanation on list and tuple, character and others are thorough and clear. In overall, this is a good quality course.

Notice that If you are considering taking this course, the first course "Python Programming Essential" is almost a must-have unless you have had any prior Python coding experience

Excellent course! Dr. Rixner and Dr. Warren explained the material clearly, which significantly helped my understanding. I found the final project to be quite challenging compared to quizzes and examples covered in lecturers and had to heavily rely on the discussion forum. Other than that, great class overall. Highly recommended.

Professors Rixner and Warren have done an excellent job of presenting the material this material. What I especially like about the courses in the Specialization is the projects that are offered. The projects for you to think beyond the everyday programming that you may experience at work or some other venue. They also are very good about reinforcing the concepts that are offered in the lectures.

I have been at the novice level in Python for the last couple of years by trying to learn on my own and other Coursera courses. I have thus far found that this Specialization to be one of the best. I'm glad that you have taken the time to produce these courses. I hope in the future to take what I learn here and make career change.

Thank you

Great course for understanding lists and file manipulation!

If you are new to Python and wants a flying start, this course (and specialization) is for you! Comprise lectures, good material and fun exercises. Sure, there are plenty of other providers for introductory courses in Python but here you will get it all in one place. Even as a semi-seasoned programmer in Python, I found this course to answer some questions that have popped up over the years. Highly recommended!

The programming project is very interesting !

very good course

It was challenging. Some elements of the projects did not make sense as they were presented, but the instructors gave a decent explanation of why those would be relevant, e.g. something would have already been determined in a real life use of such a function. Definitely increased my understanding of Python and I'm ready and eager to move forward in Rice's certificate program.

didnt enjoy - too few relevant exercises/examples that enable one to do the quiz. I found the University of Michigan course to be more comprehensive. Sorry guys

Important basics covered - different data types in python and how to read and write CSV files into python.

You can increase the duration of course and difficulty level by taking any python real time software project

Very helpful.

Very good course, instructor presented it well.

Simple coverage.. but exercises and guidance to them is good

Excellent course on python data structures like strings, lists and tuples. Hands on exercises are really superb.

cool

Tougher than 1st part of the series, that's why i am giving 3 stars:) Just kidding.

Excellent course. Very nice projects.

Very well thought out course. Glad I took it.

Great course, but the final test was really difficult.

Great course and great assignments!

great course. Found it to be really useful

Good Stuff.
