About the Course

This course will introduce the core data structures of the Python programming language. We will move past the basics of procedural programming and explore how we can use the Python built-in data structures such as lists, dictionaries, and tuples to perform increasingly complex data analysis. This course will cover Chapters 6-10 of the textbook “Python for Everybody”. This course covers Python 3....

I feel incredible that I knew almost nothing about programming just a month ago. Now I have done two of the courses of the specialization and I can actually understand other basic codes. Great course

Hello World. It was an excellent opportunity, as a beginner programmer, to learn Python (I have some dreams about lists, dictionaries, tuples, etc). Thanks, Dr. Chuck, Python community, and Coursera.

This course ('Python Data Structures') really helped me in building up my programming skills.

Very well taught with tricky assignments and in a well organised manner

Mr.Chuck is one of the best instructor one can get.

Had a general knowledge of programming, but this course has helped me to learn the basics of Python and how to manipulate data into structures that can be analyzed. Can't wait to continue on with the certification.

Excellent foundation course for Python. It gave a better understanding of easiness of Python and data handling. Professor Charles Severance has excellent handle on the subject and explains well. Thank you very much.

It is a very good course, even for non-programmers. Charles Severance makes a difference in this course. He explains the way that you can understand, it is very helpful. So that, I am still learning Python language.

An excellent course overall. Dr. Chuck is great - very interesting to following during the video lectures. The quizzes and exercises are all challenging but not to the point where you cannot figure out what to do.

Really enjoyed this class. Charles still managed to make it so much enjoyable just as the previous intro to programming course. Looking forward to completing this specialisation with his content - much recommended!

There is everything we should know at basic level. Professor tries to teach basic concept easily. I could understand Data structure and its using. And also the textbook can make up for the weak part of the lecture.

I thought this course was great while I was doing it... but now that I've gone on to other courses / resources and have seen how much I've developed as a coder as a result, I'm even more impressed! Chuck is a hero!

This is a very well-formatted summary on the basic data structures in Python. It is very informative and I recommend it to anyone who knows a bit of Python but is still not fluent in using the different structures.

As a 15 years old passionate student about AI and machine learning, It was a really wonderful course. I learned many things in Python, and I acquired many skills that help me achieve my dream. Thank you, Coursera.

Great course overall. I loved Charle's energy throughout the course. Would have been good to have a bigger final project which would have required a more comprehensive demonstration of our Python knowledge so far.

This class is a nice introduction to data structures using python. The gems of the class are Dr. Chuck's teaching style and also the video interviews of the creators of some of the leading programming paradigms.

I studied the core data structures of the Python programming language via this course, including strings, files, lists, dictionaries, tuples. It's easy to understand due to the vivid presentation of the professor.

This course is very convenient for beginners like me. This course is also resourceful because Dr Chuck had included with a lot of additional videos on programming, events and even Tacos! Just try it out and enjoy!

Yes, I learned a lot from this course, although I am still a beginner. I am still confusing a lot of things while writing code, but at least when I looked at a written code I started to understand what it was for.

it's pretty nice and the University of Michigan made it way too simple to understand this language. More likely to appreciate the professor (Charles Russell Severance ) who delt and taught us python .thank you sir

This was a great course. The instructor was very clear and explained each and everything very nicely. After completing the course many of my doubts in python data structures are cleared. Greatly loved this course.

The course is great with slides provided. However, if students who post their questions in forum could be answered with detailed explanations instead of other questions, it would help them in a more effective way.
