    Great course! Very helpful for beginner Python learners especially for learning key concepts. Jupyter notebooks, Pandas, Numpy, Tuples, Lists, etc are some of the interesting concepts covered.

    Very unimpressed. This course could have been much more useful if they had focused on using python to address real world problems, rather than spending so much time teaching individual functions. It's like trying to learn Excel one function at a time rather than working on a problem and solving it. They did provide real world examples, but the way they did it was way too structured. This is not how real world problems are addressed. They should have had the instructor take us through several examples of how he used python to address real world problems. Watching him go through the learning would have been very instructional and very helpful. What we got was a bunch of lectures on the individual components of python - not helpful for beginners. These lectures would have been more helpful after we knew how to use python.

    Too easy, assignments and test do not test. Everyone will pass this. Sometimes just outright wrong information. Even in an assignment the answer is outright wrong. E.g. it is wrong to claim that parantheses are used to create a tuple. Tuples in python are made by commas not by parantheses. You only use parantheses to border a tuple when needed. The course is totally basic. If this is all you need to be advanced in data analysis in python everyone is advanced in data analysis

    I recently took a crash course on Python and overall, I found it to be a great experience. The course was very informative and to the point, covering all the important basics of Python programming. The instructor was knowledgeable and engaging, and the lessons were well-structured and easy to follow.

    However, I must admit that I was a bit disappointed with the final project of the course. While the course was great at building foundational knowledge, the final project felt a bit weak and didn't really challenge me to apply everything I learned throughout the course. I think the course could benefit from a stronger and more complex final project that really puts all the skills learned to the test.

    Overall, though, I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to get started with Python programming. It's a great crash course that will give you a solid foundation in the language and its capabilities.

    I recently finished the Coursera course Get Started with Python, a requirement for the Google Advanced Data Analytics Certificate. Overall, the course was well organized and exciting, giving me a strong foundation in Python programming. The learning process was pleasurable because of the instructor's expertise and engagement. However, I was a little let down by the course's culminating assignment. Although the course did an excellent job of covering the fundamentals, the final project lacked complexity and didn't fully use the abilities presented in the course. Given that it offers a solid basis and covers key ideas, I would suggest it to anybody looking to begin their Python programming adventure.

    This course is an excellent introduction to Python for beginners. It is highly instructive, useful, and well-structured, covering all the essential basics needed to start programming in Python. The instructor is engaging and explains concepts clearly, making the learning experience enjoyable. While the course is packed with information, it ensures that newcomers gain a solid foundation and feel confident taking their first steps in Python. The comprehensive content might feel overwhelming at times, but it effectively equips learners with the knowledge they need to jumpstart their programming journey. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get started with Python!

    This course provided good understanding of Python programming language as well two important libraries, numpy and pandas. It has increased my skills in Python programming language and have come to know usefulness and power of these libraries in data analysis work.

    Thanks to Course team for preparing material covered in this course as well to instructors for providing good explanation of material. Thanks also to Coursera platform for offering this great course, Get Started with Python , as part of Google Advanced Data Analytics Professional Certificate.

    This course has everything to begin analizing data, I wouldnt say its for beginners, that's what I like most, since I was expecting to gain a deeper knowledge on Python and this course met all my expectations and beyond. It doesnt seem obvious when you begin but its quite important to place all your knowledge in practice, and I found labs a useful and completed tool which guides you in each step. I am grateful with Google to make this complete and concise material for students.

    Course 2, "Get Started With Python," in the Advanced Data Analytics specialization by Google on Coursera was an invaluable learning experience. The content provided a solid foundation in Python programming, covering essential topics such as functions, conditional statements, loops, strings, and data structures. The course has significantly enhanced my skills and understanding of Python, laying a strong groundwork for further exploration in data analytics and programming.

    Hi, I am a computer science engineer and Data Scientist. I have developed many AI / ML models who are in production and also worked with many AI ML vendors. I have taken this course to refresh my basic and I learned a lot from this course. Thank you, and I highly recommend this to beginner, college students (who want to learn python as a programmer) or advance and professional if they want to brush up their basic.

    The course goes in depth with all the principles of programing with python and the use of the libraries (pandas and numpy) the exercises have a proper difficulty and the final project really helps practice the use of the libraries and to analyze the results emulating well how a professional in the field is expected to tackle the problems he or she confront in the work place

    If you are a beginner and you wanna enhance your Data Analysis with python skills, I think this is the best place to start off as you put all your learning skills at the end of the course's data analytics project , which is a very thoughtful step by google to make their potentials learners equip their resumes with great critical thinking projects. Thanks to Google !!

    This was amazing learning experience. Compared to last course about Program R in Data Analytics course, this module was designed in more interactive way. I have to think a lot that what code should I use. At the end of the program I was using right code :) This program really makes you think. And instructor was really cool and explanatory. Thanks for a nice course

    I like the easy to understand structure. I like that it is straight to the point and you can easily check yourself. There are a few mistakes I found in the course that were minor. I don't remember on top of my head what they were, I just remember thinking that there were small errors in a few spots and they threw me off initially.

    I really enjoyed taking this course. Learning the power of Pandas and Numpy in data analysis has been brilliant. Would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their python skills. Although, it is important to know that not all hands-on labs are beginner friendly.

    Some topics were a bit difficult and I wish some of the basics were covered a bit more. It felt like the difficulty level shot up unexpected on certain assignments and I had to use the exemplar to figure out the solution. However, overall it was great and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    One thing I loved about this course is tutors encourage you to learn, they not only train you to be a Data Professional but also help you escape imposter syndrome. They made the course a smooth ride by guiding me through coding and also making good documentation of my work.

    Very easy to understand the concepts/ theories specially for beginners. And for practice should consult other projects or courses. videos are short and concise yet well explained. Great approach I would say.

    Nice intro course to Python. The instructor explains concepts clearly. It's more towards beginners. For experienced Python developers, it's probably ok to just do the quiz and skip most of the fundamentals.

    Excellent introduction to Python programming, Pandas, and NumPy. I'm quite familiar with all three but still learned a few new tricks. The walkthroughs in this series are quite well done.
