About the Course

This course introduces classes, instances, and inheritance. You will learn how to use classes to represent data in concise and natural ways. You'll also learn how to override built-in methods and how to create "inherited" classes that reuse functionality. You'll also learn about how to design classes. Finally, you will be introduced to the good programming habit of writing automated tests for their own code. The course is best-suited for you if you are already familiar with Python fundamentals, which are covered in the "Python Basics" and "Python Functions, Files, and Dictionaries" courses (courses 1 and 2 of the Python 3 Programming Specialization). It is optional to have taken the "Data Collection and Processing with Python" course (course 3 of the specialization), but knowledge of retrieving and processing complex nested data is helpful. This is the fourth of five courses in the Python 3 Programming Specialization....

As always like how I told, there's no doubt about this being the best python course that you will ever find, and take it from a guy who never found interest in studying until now.

Thank you.

An amazing course! Thank you so much. Everything about this course was incredible, especially the final project. As always, I thoroughly enjoyed solving problems in the Runestone environment.

Need to improve the error messages delivered by the auto-grading system and make it easier/possible for students of the online classes to get help/questions answered.

Overall quite a good overview of classes and inheritance but final assignment can be passed by fluke. Test cases are not built into the platform thoroughly enough

this was a really nice little course, maybe a little on the easy side, but i guess it is more for beginners.

If you are not a beginner, just do the exercises!

Fine. The end project was pretty difficult though. I always feel I am not prepared for those end projects after the simple lectures and videos before.

In the final Assessment there was a error in your own code and the program didn't run well and showed error. But except that part, teaching was great.

Slightly less in-depth than I wanted in terms of classes in python, but overall, pretty well-presented overview of basic OO and testing with Python.

The project is designed too fancy and not practical. Takes a lot of time to understand the requirement and not too much feedback from the project.

Course is good with more new content and assignments. Also lecture time is a lot more logical than the previous two courses. Really enjoyed it.

I wish there was more examples. This course felt like it was rushed to have different topics without enough examples for people to understand.

Some material in the lessons is a bit outdated and could use some updating. However, this learning style worked very well for me.

It's very good introductory course on oops with python but does not get into all the details, would highly recommend to beginners

Course seemed a bit rushed, not enough details on testing and try/exempt, some typos. First three courses were better developed.

I really enjoyed the course overall. Though the end assignment was a little bit tough to crack, it was challenging and fun.

This course is for absolutely begginers, and the tasks are too simple. But you can get basic knowledge in Python Classes

This was really a challenging course and have to say an efficient course who wants to clear their understanding in OOP.

If more exercises included for this course means, it will be much helpful to gain in depth knowledge in this course.

the final project is quite challenging and sometimes it gets frustrating but they are made in order to level us up.

Lecture video is sometimes not well aligned with textbook materials. But overall good introduction to the topics.

It would be good if the course cover more concepts of OOP, but this course is a good start for beginners anyway.

The course is overall good but the tool you have to use for coding (Runestone) is not very convenient to use.

Great class. I wish we could run more of the Python code in a local environment vs. the Runstone runtime env.

This course was awesome. I had learned about classes, objects, and inheritance in python with the course.

In general, it is well explained, but it needs to have more examples in terms of classes and inheritance.
