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

This last course of 'Python 3 Specialisation' is very different and the quality doesn't match the other 4 courses. In this one are plenty of faults, some not solved for long time (according to the comments in the discussions). If I would experience this quality in the beginning of a training, I would immidatly cancel the assignment.

The training seemed to have no bearing with the other courses in the Python 3 specialization. The lectures were not structured, not to mention the projects that were extremely difficult, in comparison to the lectures provided. It totally dampened my enthusiasm for the certification.

I had a hard time following all the Week 1 instructions to get my machine set up with all the appropriate software, packages, and example files/notebooks. After really getting stuck and reviewing the Discussion Forums, it became very clear to me that this course is not complete yet. I'm dropping out, as I don't want to spend weeks trying to decipher the path forward and waiting for support while getting charged $50/month.

Challenging for beginners need to take more time to explain things.

I really liked the content and its presentation. The knowledge conveyed in this course is useful, the teaching staff does a good job, and the final project is legitimately interesting. If you aim only for knowledge and don't care about the certification, go aheas, you will not regret it. The reason this is not 5 stars is the very, very end - the submission procedure for the final project. It involves pasting Python source code into a Coursera text field. This kills the Python formatting, and thus the code becomes unrunnable. Workarounds have been suggested, but did not work for me (and at least a few others). It is completely beyond me why this method of submission was chosen. The course creators themselves use a way better method earlier in the course (html export of Jupyter notebook). Why is this worth a 2 star deduction? Because it means that people may pay for this and aim for a certification, and could fail at the very end for reasons they have zero control over.

Very nice course for beginner to understand python.

Submitting the last project was so hard. The workaround provided did not work for me.

The thinks that teach you are amazing, but the implementation and the teacher is terrible explaining. The way you summit the final assigment is terrible

1 star - because there's not the option for zero stars. The first 4 courses of the specialization where good, pretty basic, but well presented and facilitated. This fifth and final course is terrible - truly - the worst course I've done on Coursera and I've completed many. Save yourself the time and frustration. That "computer scientists" published material in this state is shameful. If you do go ahead and start this course you can expect to waste hours waiting for slow, long running processes to finish. You've been warned!

Bad assignment arrangements and design
