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

I hope to improve the materials of this course to make it cover the the assignments and project questions, where I made more effort to find the solutions by searching in web instead of using the included materials.

The course is excellent but the final project submission is a nightmare. The input form is messed up and the work-arounds don't work. To have such a good class then ruin my experience with a broken component ... that has been broken for over a year is really bad. To me it ruined the experience and made me feel upset about spending my good money and TIME on a schlock final project submission process.

I've appreciated a lot the previous courses of the specialization but the level of teaching and preparation of this last one is highly subpar, not just in regard to the others but on any standard of teaching. I understand the necessity of familiarizing us to doing our own reasearch about libraries and how to properly read their documentation. What you could then teach is how to approach it, what are the mistakes and tips in learning a library. This course however just puts in front of you a few formulas, doesn't explain the majority of them, or how they came to be, and simply tells you to go learn the library yourself without providing any tools that can help you with this task. Anything that I learned during this course is because I googled it and got StackFlow results. The real thing that I learned from this course is: a course that wants to teach you a library is a scam, go google it yourself.

Excellent course except for the peer grade assignment

Absolutely awful course, I would have given 0 stars if possible.. There's an enormous gap between the previous courses and this one; concept are not explained thoroughly and to complete the final project you have to look for suggestions back and forth from the discussion forum or on the internet. The course really ruined this specialization, which was awesome from course 1 to 4.

I know that in this course they don't explain everything first I was angry but then I discovered that they are trying to make you able to do any project using library by looking at their documentation so I like it

Thank you for offering such a wonderful courses

This course is just very bad. The assessments are very complicated. I would recommend the authors of this course take four other courses in this specialization just to estimate the level of knowledge of learners and to get an idea of what they already know and what they are capable of doing.

Horrible! Has nothing to do with previous 4 courses in this Specialization. I would recommend to the instructors to revisit and rewrite the course. It easier for the learners to work on a big problem completing it by small tasks. For example: 1) step #1 : Do this -> Check -> If worked -> move to another tasks 2) step #2: the same logic .... and so on till the last piece. Then put all parts together in a working code and submit the final result. Also, although, having a person supporting the Discussion chat quite regularly is very nice, it would be much productive if the person has a better attitude. Stephen Catto is not listening to people. He answers to people in a very rude way and tries to close the topic right away not really providing a meaningful reply. To sum up, I will repeat what I said before - absolutely horrible course!

Great course
