Learning Experience: The course is really wonderful if you are keen to know the applications of python in real life.The course discusses about many Cool Ideas with Python. I am studying B.Tech I year . Me and my friends thought of learning Python. So we registered into this course. I was managing both C language(subject in college) and Python(NPTEL course) in the same semester . I used to watch all the videos given by the instructor .Sometimes I'd download all the videos on my phone from the website and I used to watch those videos in my college bus while travelling. I managed to complete watching all the videos week by week . If I didn't complete watching videos I used to ask my friends to share that week's Quiz assignment answers . And I would cover those videos later. I love Programming Assignments on the course because you cannot find not even a single video that discusses the basic syntax of Python. You must find it by yourself if you want to solve those assignments . I used to refer online websites to learn basics of Python. Programming Assignments need some knowledge in Python like lists, strings, etc.. So if you learn Python basics on your own you can understand it better. Even if I didn't watch all the videos of a particular week, I was still able to solve Programming Assignments because those were completely not based on the videos of that week.
Faculty: Prof. Sudarshan Iyengar was our faculty for the course. Sudarshan Iyengar has a PhD from the Indian Institute of Science and is currently working as an assistant professor at IIT Ropar and has been teaching this course from the past 4 years.The quality of the lectures is great and the course is well suited to gain practical experience and knowledge of Python language for beginners.
The resources basically include the lecture videos, their transcripts, PowerPoint presentation for the study material.
Course Support: Yes, definitely it helps to boost our career and eventually helps in job assistance. In my case, it helped me in my Masters in which I further used python language.
