Great introduction to Python and programming as a whole. Everything is broken down making it easy to understand. Had zero programming experience before and this class made it easy and fun to get into.

Excellent, although, even without having any programming experience except some Visual Basic at school about ten years ago, in my opinion the course could have bee more difficult and the pace quicker.

Would recommend to anyone interested in learning about Python and has none programming background or experience. Loved it, learned a lot about Python and enjoyed every class and homework. Dr. 'Chuck' is an incredible professor.

Did it during Corona lockdown with no prior Python Knowledge. Now, I'm able to understand basic coding terminology and can read and write simple programs. In addition, Professor Severus was very entertaining to watch! Good job.

The best, the professor Chuck is one the best I have ever seen. Teaching coding to non-techie is very difficult and the way he teaches is just amazing. Would recommend every one of you to take it to enhance knowledge in Python.

I thought this was an excellent beginners course. I think that the final assignment could be difficult for a lot of students but I did not find it to be hard. Looking forward to taking the next course if I receive financial aid

I was afraid that this course will be very difficult to complete but with great and clear explanations I finished it successfully and the information I gained is very new to me and interesting as I didn't know anything about it

A good place to start learning programming and definitely recommend to others.

Simple english and understandalbe accent makes this course the best of all other MOOCs available.

This is an excellent course. The instructor explains the concepts very well and they are easy to understand. The course and program could benefit from office hours like google Hangout sessions where we can interact with people.

Good basic course for input/output in Python - looking forward to progressing with future courses and seeing how far I can improve my skills with Dr Chuck's help! Thanks for setting up this course and looking after the students

If you have never done any programming, this course will walk you through it. Prof. Severance is very laid back. His lectures stay with the book. If you have been exposed to some programming, you can work at your own pace.

The lecturer was just so incredible, thoughtful and humorous. I enjoyed the course and for the first time feel like some of the programming concepts I struggled with before are hardcoded in my brain now. Thank you Dr. Chuck!!!
