Hi, I was under the assumption that I would not have to be a coder to take this course. Yey in the first course assignment I see the need to code. Can someone fill me in on how these assignments are to be done?
Hello @AnthonyJS , welcome!
You don’t need to be a coder, but it’s important to study the materials provided 
Usually, the Ungraded Labs are good preparation for the assignments, as the assignments often build on them. Start by studying the labs: read through them, try to understand how they work, and experiment by tweaking the code to see what happens.
If there are parts, of the code or in general, you don’t understand, you can always ask here (or use chatgpt/similar tools for explanations).
Hi @AnthonyJS
Surely you don’t! need to be a code developer but basic code understanding and execution understanding would be required for this course.
As @Anna_Kay mentioned ungraded labs is like a guidance to understand how agentic AI codes are implemented, knowing how to write basic code for an argument is a must.
Every graded assignment has a section where it mentions ###START YOUR CODE HERE### to ###END YOUR CODE HERE### where you are suppose to write the code based on instructions provided in the exercise sections as well as the grade function code cell.
Can you briefly mention if you have basic python coding understanding?

I have had very basic training in Python.
can you share a screenshot of the assignment where you are encountering difficulty understanding on how to write the code, so mentors can help you understanding the instructions to write the code.
what do you mean by basic training? have you taken up any python coding specialisation? have you explored AI for python beginners?? if you have done this course you should be able to do these assignments.
I haven’t done the AI for python beginners course. Where can I find it? What i mean by basic training is that I have taken Python online courses that familiarized me with some basic names and operations of the coding language. I was having trouble with the very first graded assignment in the Agentic AI course.
ok then I don’t know the course you took is enough or not as any basic python course should be enough to understand these assignment notebook atleast on basic level but to write codes you might find difficult.
You will find AI for python beginners on this website
