Ratings and Reviews for Python Project: Software Engineering and Image Manipulation

it is the worst course within this specialization path. very bad organized, very hard to follow even went through all the course with this specialization. the instructor is reading through the material all the time. the assignment is extremely difficult for first time python learner. also, student had to search for other information in order to understand. i thought the course suppose to provide most of the information for student to understand, not preventing them learning new things! after this class, i almost lose my interest in learning python.............

It's a great course that introduces you to the world of image processing ussing image recognition libraries. You have to learn a lot of things and you end up with a feeling of really knowing about Python programing

This course is the last course of the specilization. Final project is very interesting for me and gives the opportunuity of using our new abilities got in all specilization course. Thank people who prepared such a eligible course.

Didnt like it so much, Sometimes i felt lost

It's very disjointed from the previous 4 courses, as it's taught by a different instructor with a very different style. I get it that the goal is to get learners out of the simple & clean bubble of the learning environment and deal with messy real-world one. But from the lecture videos, it's clear that the instructor makes assumptions of students' Python skills and just skim through many concepts and codes expecting students to understand them. This doesn't make sense. If these concepts are utilized building towards the capstone, why not have them elaborated in an extra course before the capstone? The learning experience is terrible as I feel I've missed out many things left unexplained (despite Googling). I'll suggest having instructors from the previous courses in this specialization to do the capstone course for consistency purposes.

Helped me to get started with image processing.

A challenging and rewarding course

"Capstone Projects are hands-on projects that let you apply what you've learned in a Specialization to a practical question or problem related to the Specialization topic." Capstone Projects – Coursera Help Center In this capstone course I expected to apply what I had learned in the previous four courses. I had already taken Python for Everyone, when this course utilized Python 2. I wanted a course about Python 3 which included classes, inheritance, etc. The use of the runestone textbook is great!, but I wish that it had included more about classes, inheritance, etc. I expected that the capstone would be an application in which I was required to apply a class structure with inheritance, etc to a problem. This capstone was about opencv, pytesseract, and pillow, which are worthwhile topics, but these topics are complex and should be covered in a separate specification. To learn Juypter, opencv, pytesseract and pillow within three weeks is asking too much for students who are MOOC learners (parttime). I rated this capstone two stars, because the capstone missed the stated purpose of a capstone according to Coursera Help Center.

very good

Didn't like it. Unfortunately you have to acquire the knowledge by yourself. But even though you have the good will to endure this fight, Jupyter isn't prepared to deal with the huge amount of data processing (in my opinion), so, it's a wasting time game of trying, running and waiting forever to receive an error, instead of learning to solve problems. The assessment is overdimensioned for jupyter. Dealing with 25mb+ files is unacceptable, because as students we need to debug the code too many times on try-and-error basis. I felt like going crazy and nervous with this final assessment. I did the first four courses in about two months (they were so great!), and this last one, it took me more than 5 months, because at some point in time, I just abandoned it. The course needs to continue with the pacing of the other instructors, that were so good, and I felt everything was chained into a purpose. This last one, does not have any purpose at all. Did it, but do not recommend, afterall, before this one, I was excited in doing many courses, but as I was trapped into it, my apprenticeship was abruptly stopped. I'm feeling released now, as i ended this course, to continue learning other subjects.
