This course is challenging, though the specialization is labeled as beginning level. This last course, comparing to the previous four courses in this specialization, is somehow poorly structured and less systematically. The instructor is trying to show students how the real programming world is. But just reading the script from the screen with super fast pace and keeping telling students to read documentation or to look up online on their own is a little irresponsible.
And the submitting / grading mechanism for last project is really poor. I do not know how good I did after receiving the reviewing grades.
However, this course did force me to learn a lot more by exploring the docs and webs.

I enjoyed a lot the content of the course, it provides tremendous content and useful Python tools application. I was not able to connect with the professor methodology though. This is the first course I take from Christopher, l look forward to continuing learning from him at the applied data science specialization.
Awful instruction and project planning leaves a bad taste in my mouth after 4 great courses in this specialization.
This class is an absolute disaster. Do not take this class if you can avoid it. The lectures do not provide the proper material for the assignments. You will need to teach yourself hours of material to be able to properly complete the assignments. This class has no place in the Python 3 specialization and it's a shame students are required to trudge through this to complete the specialization.
I thought the course was very interesting and well structured. I really enjoyed it but the platform Jupyter was incredibly slow and the submission format of the final project was a bit silly
This was quite a bit more challenging than the other 4 courses in this series, but very helpful. I learned a lot from it.
It is a really nice course!
great
Assignments are very challenging. The mentor should give more focus on teaching.
If you value your time, don't take this course. The course platform is online Jupyter Notebook which doesn't work most of the time. Also most of the examples are seriously outdated, there are more modern and smarter ways of doing them. The assignments are really frustrating because of the shitty platform and also from lack of good instructions due to the poor educational value of the lectures.
