Beautiful Course. Worth your time . Dr. Chuck is amazing

one of the best python courses

The instructor grade of the 3rd honor assignment "Visualizing Email Data" is not reasonable. I just miss 1 list in the 1st screen shot, and the instructor give me grade 1. If the instructor think that this is not my work, the instructor can contact me so that I can give more detail. Besides, I also explain this when flagging a review from another guy with my comment, but I am not sure if the instructor has already considered and read my comment of the flag or not. Currently, I still pass this assignment, but I will wait to see if I can resubmit to improve my grade.

Besides, I think it is better to mention clearly what we need to include in the screen shot at each question instead of putting these information in the assignment description so that people can focus and read more easily.

This course was interesting in terms of introducing us to some more complex concepts and demonstrating some very simple visualization but I would have preferred having to apply what we learned on some variations of the data we had worked with so far. I might feel this way bc I struggled to do all of the things we have learned with the data source I chose (financial data for companies). I felt like a pet hamster released into the wild that was quickly scooped up by an owl. I felt like the "real world" application presented many issues that I never encountered and struggled to diagnose from stack overflow, etc. Overall, the course was valuable but I've got a long way to go before I can do something meaningful. The capstone to me was a missed opportunity (although it may be hard to do something meaningful at scale for a programming project where people are choosing their own data).

The instructor did a great job when it comes to resources. Dr. Severance is very enthusiastic and passionate about teaching, at least, I can assume from the video and his work. As a constructive feedback, I would strongly suggest that there should be more long+challenging projects in the specializations. Having experiences in challenging projects really help us in finding jobs and also excelling in industries. VERY CHALLENGING PROJECTS ARE A GREAT RETURN ON INVESTMENT ON TECHNICAL ACADEMIC COURSES.

You are not actually writing any code for this particular course. The assignments are just taking screenshots of running code that is already provided to you in the code repository for this course. The lectures are great, there is a lot to learn from them but the assignments are a total bust. Not worth it for the money, but go for it if you want to complete the entire specialization

While the other courses for this specialization have been awesome this one was a little disappointing as it was simply a commentary on code that we should have been able to analyze by ourselves after going the through the previous courses. Dr. Chuck is a wonderful teacher however i wish this one had been a more hand-on course like the previous ones

Always enjoy Dr. Chuck's teaching and am very grateful to him. Wish this Capstone was a little more intense, though. I was expecting to do some programming and pull together everything I learned in the previous 4 courses. Instead, it was mostly running programs and doing screenshots, which was very easy and not challenging.

I enjoyed the specialization a lot, overall! Absolutely fantastic teaching by Dr. Chuck, I learned so much. Unfortunately, the capstone didn't have the right structure for me. The required assignments didn't really teach anything new, it was just run this code and take screenshots. The " can anyone review my assignment" forum spam was just sad, and I think a better solution must be found for the course conclusion. The optional data visualization assignment is great, but I don't feel I had the tools necessary to complete it yet. I do plan to come back to it after I learn a bit more.

It's not such interesting as previous courses. Mostly it contains some practical solutions which you have to execute (with some small changes).

Peer review assignment are very frustrating. Teacher assistant grades are very strange (i.e. bad screenshot, bad browser, etc. and you can't update them to improve your score).

I have to wait a week to have my assignments reviewed (not 1-2 days) - be sure to submit them more then week before month end or you will be charged for the next month due to subscription!

Bad experience with grades not get in on time. Have to had back and forth btw the instructor and support.

Not much to learn from project perspective. This course definitely needs improvement.

A very disfunctional and disappointing finish to the specialization. The first 3 courses built off of each other and the textbook provided additional explanation for topics. Moreover, there were exercises at the end of every chapter to test the learner's knowledge. Overall, the first three courses were heavily hands-on where we learned to write out own code.

Contrasting this, course 4, and course 5 (captsone) were very different. Important topics and new knowledge was glossed over very quickly, and the difficulty of the programs increased significantly more than the level of the students' current knowledge. The programs were actually so difficult compared to our skill level that assignments started to involve simply copy and pasting pre-written code, making slight changes, running, and screenshotting output. Gone were the days of writing out own code apparently...This is no way to learn.

The captsone...WOW. Basically the previous paragraph but even worse. Same logic, copy code, run it, take screenshots, submit. Apparently coursera and University of Michigan think that this constitutes knowing how to code. Given that the specialization capstone is advertized as something that we will upload to our portfolio, it is concerning that UMICH thinks that this is appropriate. No employer will hire you simply because you have the certificate, or an application in your portfolio that you merely copy and pasted without knowing how it works. Not only this, but I was actually automatically unsubscribed from the capstone because I finished the week 1 quiz and coursera gave me my certificate before I had even begun the capstone project. The fine print that I failed to realize was that all you have to complete to get the certificate is to complete the quiz, the rest of the course, the "Honours Track" is optional. What I did not realize was that it was one or the other...I was under the impression that I could complete the quiz and upgrade to the honors certificate after completing the rest of the course, I was wrong.

Overall, the first three courses I learned a lot and felt confident in my abilities, but the last two courses progressively got worse. Its a shame really. I really enjoyed the first three courses, but the last two including the capstone left me disappointed and discouraged.

As my subscription expiry draws close, staff grading comes to an excruciating delay. I completed 3 assignments over 2 days as assignments were quite simple only requiring one to run downloaded script. Yet, after about 1 week, staff has only graded 1st assignment. The second/third assignments were still pending (2 days after 1st assignment was graded). Checking out the forum tells of the same experience by others, desperately waiting for grading before subscription is due for another fresh month. Staff response to Forum reminds one that grading can take 2-3 days. Interesting that staff took time to remind one of weekend cross over, that staff needs to rest, does not spend the same time to grade the multitudes of grading requests. I have no choice to let my subscription lapse, grading or not.

When I decided do the Python for everyone especialization there was nothing about this course be offer only a few times in a year. If I get to know this I must to read the little letters on the describe of this especific course (one of five courses of the especialization). At the end I spend two monthsand paid two tuintons to get the certificate because of it and this last course is just execute the programms without make a single chance (copy and paste).

I completed Week 1 in less than a day and was told that I had passed the Specialization. I was unable to proceed with Weeks 2-7 which are optional honors projects. I was told by Coursera support that I should have done Week 1 last. I posted the message on the Discussion Forum. I am very disappointed and did not get value for this course.

The course per se is great but I thought it would be more hands on programming. It is more like run the code and make some little changes. The instructor grading is just strange and frustrating. Never seen such hard and unreliable grading system.

I wouldn´t recomend the course when one don´t want to finish the specialisation.

Please make the 3 assignments in someway auto-graded. The teaching staff takes entirely too long to grade assignments. I understand that there are many students so either hire more teaching staff or don't make the most important assignments for the course only gradable by actual people. Use computers for this.

Should focus on data types and usage while allowing students do actual homework.

The course was great, but the teaching staff was so rude and mean to me.

Horrible horrible TAs, staff was just extremely annoying and unhelpful.

Easy course, just follow the instructions...boring course for me.

i hope to learn more how you wrote the code in class.

I expected something else.

Useless
