Ratings and Reviews for Python Functions, Files, and Dictionaries

great learning

It is a very good course following the Python Basics course and the last project was just awesome! It helps provide encouragement to continue programming

one of the best specialization for beginners

good teaching

very good course, i suggest to everyone try this course, you will get a lot from this course

Well organised course

Gives a good introduction to the basics of reading and writing to data files, using Python dictionaries, and writing basic functions.

Great introduction to functions and different data structures within Python! Gives you practical skills which you can use to make real-world (small) scripts to improve your workflow.

It was a good course because of the concepts addressed, pretty much what the title says. The only constructive thing that I have to say is that the course can be improved by adding more challenging problems, because at some point they become repetitive.

This is a great course, I've learned a lot from this course. What made this course great is that students could follow the instructors and do basic practises along the instruction. Lots and lots of basic practises solidified our learning. For example, all kinds of loops, string, list, dictionary etc handling take time to be proficient. You can understand these simple concepts by only watching videos, however, it takes lots of basic practices to really master. I took other python courses before, and I quickly forget everything because these courses lack the most critical part: many and many basic practices. After all these practices and assignments, the final project looks like a piece of cake. Thank you UMich team. You guys are awesome!
