What I loved the most are group projects.

I thought I work better alone, but working in groups with other people was an amazing experience.

I definitelly learned a lot of new things. It was maybe too fast paced for me, but that's probably a personal problem. I really enjoyed it.

What I loved the most are the collaborative exercises.

Didn't like much the GUI from the individual exercises site though, but it was OK overall.

I really enjoyed the projects using GitHub - they're hard, but it's a great way of seeing how everything fits together.

The difference in timezones was a bit rough, but that's inevitable and no-one's fault. I also prefer to work by myself so fewer group projects would have been better for me, but that's just me.

Once you understand the learning process, it's very streamlined and engaging to solve the weekly problems. Even the homework is often challenging and engaging. If you're looking for depth, the instructors and mentors are always ready for a deep dive on a topic.

There were times that I dreaded being paired up with someone who was really behind, which happened to me a few times. The difference between being paired up with someone around your level, versus someone that just isn't "get...

Everyone is very helpful and positive!

I feel that I wasn't really ready for the course-maybe the admitting test should be harder? I would prefer more written explanations for the concepts, as well.

More than anything, I liked the group projects. A lot of what I took away from the class was lessons that I learned from other students.

I think everything was fine. I definitely plan on moving up to the advanced class in the near future.

I loved the pace. I didn't want to have a class where we spent two weeks doing very basic Python coding that anyone who picked up a book and read for a couple of hours could do. The pace and content justify the cost. If you're not serious about it, then you shouldn't pass.

I felt kind of in the dark before the class started. After paying for the course, there wasn't much communication (to the point where I was trying to find out when the course was actually starting).

I liked the integration of real world tools in the exercises ( git, repl.it, c9).

For me it was a bit fast when we started with the OOP, But I admit that I had a lot of personal work.

The community. The support from both the teachers and mentors is unmatched. Mentors and teachers were ALWAYS available when needed. Actually teaching the testing aspect of programming and teaching how coders typically program within their work environment was a welcome part! I definitely learned alot. I'm already signed up for the Advanced Python course. Can't wait to start!

Seemed like the first couple of weeks were very condensed. Wish we had more time dedicated to some subject...

I really enjoyed live coding sessions and ability to get help from real mentors. Group projects were more complicated than exercises in a homework, which was a great opportunity for me to learn how to build complex projects. Solving group assignments required mentors' help most of the times, which is a unique part of this course because every other online course leaves you alone with your problem when you need a help with your code. Mentors are the best part of the course, as they are ...

Probably what I enjoyed the most was the positive and informative community.
