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

This course is very badly laid out. The content feels very disjointed and does not have a coherent flow to it like the previous 4 courses in this specialization do. The instructor for this course is terrible - he simply narrates the lessons and does not actually teach anything being covered. To complete the assignments, you will need to seek out resources outside of the course content as a result of the lack of teaching from the instructor and the poor layout of the course content.

This course is more like an exploratory experience--it forces me to learn new packages independently and apply those new things to my own work. With the foundation built by the previous four courses, I feel lots of joy(and a bit pain lol) when learning sample jupyter notebook code and doing assignments. It largely boosts my confidence in programming as a whole after being able to tackel the assignments.

They have overall been great courses giving me the opportunity to learn a lot more about Python. Pillow, Opencv, Tesseract is a truly wonderful track that opened my eyes and mind for AI virtual reality. Working with images and videos is a topic I would like to explore further in the near future. It was an interesting learning experience, one chunk at a time, sometimes so tiring but satisfying in the end.

Great course

instructors are great

Rude staff. Avoid this course

just a WOW!

A very frustrating way to finish a good specialization: First 4 courses of the specialization were excellent, this one is messy, the videos are not synced with what you do in the Jupyter Notebooks and the difficulty gap in relation to the other courses is very high. On top of that the course staff (Stephen Catto) is very impolite and agressive, and creates an extremely toxic environment. Do not recommend.

best course for python3, can't wait for the next one

This course is very challenging. Be prepare to do alot of outside research to complete the projects. The instructor will just give a brief introduction to the packages and expect you to read the documentation to figure out the rest. I am only giving a 4 stars not because of the difficulty but because the environment provided is too slow to complete the project. I suggest installing Jupyter and the needed package on your local environment to complete the projects instead.
