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

You need to search for some stuff yourself, the difficulty level petween previous courses and this one is very significant

The lectures and labs in this course are informative, but the format could and should have been much better. Some examples for potential improvements include shorter and better structured lectures, quizzes and a few additional short assignments (similarly to other courses in this specialization). The final project was very time-consuming, in such a way that did not make much sense. The task was to guess some parameter settings that lead to a specific pre-defined, but barely acceptable result for face detection. In this case, an improvement could have been to specify a minimum number of faces to be detected in each image for a passing grade (while keeping the number of false positives at 0 or below a certain threshold), and give extra points for further correctly detected faces. Overall, I have learned a lot in this course, but the gain for the time investment could have been larger with a better prepared course.

I think the course have a lot of basic python programming. It's very useful for me

This course does not guide students step by step and let you freely accomplish the goals of the project. But, actually the hints are hidden in the every corners of the course. Indeed, this course is easy but takes a bit time to familarize the properties of various functions. I found that there are a lot of negative comments about this course. Those students claimed this course is frustrating. Perhaps, they may not be suitable to join tech industry. Indeed, there is no hints for you guys to complete any projects in the real world. What you need to do is to be curious and search useful information on the internet to complete any projects!

not well explained

The content is not really relevant to the previous 4 courses. Also there is no practice problem like Runestone as they have provided before, and you jump right to the lab assignment which brings a lot of confusion. The tutor is not good as Paul Resnick and Steve Oney, and the assistant staff in the forum just not friendly to support students. Overall still good content and interesting topic on image library, but need a more updated way of delivering knowledge.

This 'capstone' course is pedagogically unrelated to the first 4 courses in the specialization, sharing only the programming language in common. The first 4 courses are useful and I learned a lot from them; the capstone is not useful and I did not. The capstone feels more like a grafted on mistake rather than a culminating experience that 'brings it all together'. I would recommend looking elsewhere for python educational opportunities.

Great course that forces students to research docs and methods for technologies that may be new to them. Valuable lessons. . . The real world won't just feed you answers before giving you the problems.

Charles Severance = Fail X -----> Not Good Good Content, however poor explanations, few exercises, no time to practice, few examples... You meet the 1st assignment and booom !! You're not prepared. Steve Oney & Paul Resnick == GODS -----> They should teach all of Michigan's courses

Challenging, but doable
