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.

I can write a program without any second thought. But in this course, I learn lots of insight into computer and engineering in the machine. And lastly, python is a super language for any noob who can fit themselves here.

Excellent beginners course for python. Anyone can learn the basics with the topics covered. And end of week assessments help to assess yourself, if you are sincere enough to give them by yourself without taking any help.

This is the best python course for someone who has not dealt with any programming language. Since I have some experiences from Java, I found this course a little bit low level ,yet still useful. Thank you Mr. Severance .

I was just revising my python skills while I came across this course, and have to say this is one of the best courses out there to learn. The professor goes slow for beginners and intermediates can easily go at 2x speed.

Fantastic first course. It explains the fundamental concepts at a good pace, perfect for a person with a non-programing background (myself). Exercises were well structured and suitable for people with minimal experience.

Dr. Chunk give a very great introduction for using python to program, the content is easy to catch up, and Dr.Chunk uses multiple flow chart and block diagrams and lots of example to make me understand the points faster.

This was a very easy and gentle approach to programming. I wish there had been more exercises for the Autograder to get additional practice and that the course instructors did not provide starting code in the Autograder.

Good introduction level course for Python and more. Besides learning Python, it's also a good review of programming logic and style. This course is relatively easy if you have experience with other programming languages.

I gave five stars because the course was very easy to follow, the lectures gave a feeling of sitting in a class room and listening to the professor. Secondly, the exercises were good at making me understand the concepts.

I took the first two classes last year when I was trying out coursera. Now that I really want to pursue a python certificate, I'm going for all the classes this time.

I highly recommend this class if you're new to python.

Dr. Charles is very lively and his every lecture is very engaging. I have learnt a lot from this course and the thought of completing the assignments on deadline always kept me on track. In short I would say it's great.

The course was a rich exchange of experiences and a wonderful learning with dynamics, activities and practical exercises, which, in a way, came to be better than the face-to-face educational experiences I have ever had.

Speaking from someone who has a hate for coding, but works in IT, this course is fabulous! The professor finds real world examples that make sense to non-coding brained students. Refreshing, challenging, and insightful!
