It's a good thing this course was free. The videos and lessons are vague and very often very unclear. Many times on the Quizzes, the expected solution involved using methods that had not yet been introduced to the student. This is very frustrating as a beginner and it made the course feel impossible at times. Overall, it was discouraging as an Intro to Python course because of all of the difficulties throughout. I am not confident that I understand Python basics, even after completing the course. I am a little intimidated to move forward and I am very hesitant to spend any money on further courses because I fear they will include more confusing content.

The lesson was easy to understand and the instructions were helpful. The examples explained the concepts clearly, and I enjoyed the lesson. Adding a few more practice exercises would make it even better.
