Anonymous My instructor is Mr Choo Seng Kok and my TA is Vin. Had such a great experience with both of them! Vin is very helpful and would always go the extra mile to help us. Mr Choo is such an amazing instructor as well! Extremely thoughtful and would go the extra mile to help make our learning experience much easier. Extremely thankful to have met such a great instructor and TA! Would definitely come back to Hackwagon again.
Jiayi Chua Course was easy to follow for an absolute beginner to Python. The weekly assignments also helped with learning. Pace was at a good speed. Instructors and teaching assist are very helpful at every way. Instructions are clear and easy to follow with regards to claims.
Anonymous Classes were interactive and informative with the instructor answering our queries promptly even though it is an online class. Pace was good and the assignments helped a lot with understanding main concepts. Break times were a bit short and sometimes a bit late.
Keni Lim Good program in basics; great set up of teaching via remotely and the practises are great. This course doesn't necessary teach "what is python" but "how to use python in your daily future work" so it's a great introductory course. Would be nice if there's more details about "how to set up your computer" for python, and an overall introductory module on Python and computer programming.

Teaching instructors are very helpful and course curriculum is very comprehensive. Lessons are at a good pace, weekly assessments help to accelerate your learning. Instructors are very helpful in assisting with administrative matters as well such as submitting claims. Will recommend to friends.

Serene Very interesting place to learn python. My instructor Seng Kok was good at explaining and my TA Mingyi is very patient and enthusiastic at assisting me with my assignments. Glad to have found this place and would be keen to continue to further my python knowledge!
Anonymous Pros: those who just started learning coding can go for this. TAs are always there to help you out. The instructor is coaching at a laymen kind of understanding Cons: Learning curve is quite steep. Course duration is too short. So the syllabus is cramped up.
Anonymous The online session over Zoom is conducive and the class contents, in terms of examples and practices, are practical and useful in helping us to understand the different functions and usage of the codes. Would prefer for future sessions to continue over Zoom platform.
Anonymous pros: Content is manageable Professor is informative Presentation of content is simple and easy to follow Tutoring assistant is very helpful is clarifying concepts Cons: For the last 2 lessons, difficulty in content increased quite significantly Pace of lesson for last 2 lesson is quite fast It will be nice if there are more exploratory materials and some guidance for it
Anonymous Overall, I enjoyed the experience that is why I signed up for DS102 to continue my education with HackWagon. I look forward to a more or less another enjoyable learning experience with the next course. A big Thank you to the lecturer and especially my tutor Ms Tan MingYi for her 24/7 support.
Anonymous introduction to Python Programming is an Informative course which is suitable for beginners who have no prior programming experience. Good and responsive teaching staffs. Weekly small group consultation is held to answer questions and pace of lesson is alright too.

The course was well-planned and had given me valuable insights on the application of Python Programming for data visualisation. Through the various problem sets and teaching materials, I was able to build on my foundation and to apply the knowledge learnt for future use.

1. Did u know that the deposits are non-refundable? I did not and that's because they were somewhere in T&C. Originally wanted to drop the course, but they did not allow me to do so. 2. Curriculum was all about teaching you to code, but not to understand about the algorithm behind, which I felt is more important. Learning how to code can itself be learnt through an online course on Udemy, easily 10-20x cheaper. So what's the value added?

Course instructors and teaching assistants provided good examples and went at a good pace. There was good coverage of practical examples and many helpful exercises and projects. Good basic introduction to Python to build strong fundamentals for future learning.

Anonymous Classes are manageable for beginners and have sufficient depth to have a good foundation. The instructors are very approachable and friendly, the classes are paced according to the pace students are comfortable with and overall it was a fun and enjoyable learning experience.
Priya Maheswari D/O Mahindran The lesson was very engaging and the despite being a online lesson, it felts almost like a live session. Also there were recordings and extra assistants available to better understand the concept. And have definitely learned alot of the basic of python and would love to take more courses from them. Instructor Mr Ranon Sim was an excellent instructor and able to explain the concepts very well and he was quite engaging and lesson didnt felt boring. Despite being a very slow learning glad that I learned alot as a beginner. Thank you and encourage people to join as well
