It is a very valuable course that I have learned for the Python skillset. It contains some advanced methods. It helps me to build more confidence in using Python and understand the concept in general.

This course was really helpful in make me understand all the topics of Python from scratch, including the slightly advanced topics, of APIs, for my level as a freshman just getting settled in college.

This course is.... odd.

It's a jumbled mess of videos read in robot voice, "labwork" which is "optional", and way too easy to complete (many of them just involve hitting shift+enter over and over again)... assuming that you can get the lab to load in the first place, quizzes which insult your intelligence with how easy they are, one random module (APIs) which is WAY WAY more complicated than anything else in the class, and a final assignment that's surprisingly a nice review of the class. I actually had to go back and re-watch the videos to complete it. However, everything I needed WAS in the videos.

And here's the weird thing: all the nonsense about setting up IBM Watson, IBM Cloud Services, IBM Speech to Text, IBM Translator, IBM... (you get the point, you will sign up for a TON of IBM services, and then have to figure out how to get them to work together)... is probably the BEST part of the class.

You can learn Python lots of places (and you should. Please don't count on this class to teach you Python. Go to codecademy fer cryin' out loud.) But where else are you going to get hands on time working through frustration and technical problems getting IBM Cloud services to work? The course doesn't always hold your hand on basic things like getting the labs to load. Yeah, that's awesome. You'll HAVE to learn how to use the tools.

Please don't take this class if you never ever plan on using IBM again in your life. But if you are thinking of applying to any job that uses the IBM platform, this course is money.

But yeah, the python part sucks. There's better and cheaper pretty much everywhere on the internet.
