This course was good.
great course! love it!
Very good course!
Very usefull from fundamental point of knowledge. You'll build basics of 'how to create BEAUTIFUL code'.
I've took it after having some practice in python. So I've completed it really fast. 100% wort it!
Thank you a lot! Will join the second part tomorrow.
P.S. Before entering this course I've already passed another one (Russian course on Stepik by Bioinformatics Institute) + completed additional practice excersises (pythontutor.ru).
Highly recommed to take these for further or advance practice for Russian students.

Super clear course. Pace is good. Every week the content is manageable, so you don't feel overwhelmed yet still learn a lot. Only thing missing: at times the courses teaches syntaxt that is not very Pythonic, instead opting to teach a "C style" kind of programming with for loops. Could definitely improve if they also teach you how to do things the Python way, short and simple.
