This course does have good content, but unfortunately Runestone "ruins" the experience. Especially with the last assessment on week 3. If you are going to take this course READ THE FORUM on the last exercise. Cache data is missing and will lead to buggy output that has nothing to do with your code! And all of these errors are from a long time ago that the course admins won't fix, despite posting updates to Ruin Stone!

Excellent course. Highly recommended. I learned a lot about parts of Python that I was not previously proficient in. I will definitely use what I learned in a job that I'm just about to start.
The pace of the videos is smooth and project is very informative
The most fun and practical course in this series. Sets up a very strong foundation to now work with APIs. Love the Prof and the platform!
The course was wonderful. But there were too many errors while getting feedback after submitting the answers in final assignment. This problem should be resolved as the students do not get the correct feedback after attempting the task in the final assignment
The first two courses in this specialization were great. The project for this course was challenging. I would have liked more exercises in before the project to better prepare you. The topic was also not as interesting as the first two courses in this specialization.
Weeks 1 and 2 were fine (a bit too easy, but fine nonetheless)... but week 3 was a nightmare. Basically, week 3 is comprised of a few video lectures that are not that easy to follow, no exercises at all... and then... a project that was almost impossible to understand. This huge difficulty spike made the course a slog...
Good course!
good
