Well taught, assignemnts are just right in complexity, its hard enough to no be easy and but not to be frustrating and tests challange your knowledge enough for it to be rewarding to complete with 80%

A good start, it shows where you can go deeper without overwhelming you. Some parts could be explained a bit more clearly though

I feel like the way the questions in tests are explained could be better. I'd say the same thing for some parts of the projects.

Nice flow of the topics. Clear explanations. More examples or a booklet with exercises and examples would be a nice complement.

This is a great course for beginners . If you can spend more time after the second week, you will get best out of the course .

This course definitely clears all the basics of python, but, at times, the questions felt way too straightforward and easy..
