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.

很基础,如果有接触过python的话几乎可以很快看完然后直接最后一个programme写一下

It's so easy for those who have already touched the python. Also, it's interesting for those wanting to begin studying with it. Thank Coursera and the Teacher

This was a wonderful course! It got really challenging me in Chapter 5. It took what I knew in .Net to help me try and figure out the solution for the graded assignment. I look forward to the next course!

The instructor was very helpful. The material made a lot of sense after he explained it. The course was much better than other online ones I've done where you just type commands with little explanation.

The classes were great - very informative. The discussion forums was my favorite - I was able to get live help on the hw assignments from classmates and mentors. Thank you for a great learning experience!

Pretty awesome course to do as a Python beginner. Being a computer science undergraduate myself felt that this course can be taken up without having any prior knowledge to programming. Go house Slytherin!

I would recommend this course to non-programmers and junior programmers too. The material is explained in a very simple manner and the additional weekly interviews are very inspirational and motivational.

Great introduction. Dr Chuck covers the critical pieces without throwing everything at you. Highly recommend it for people learning from square one or just wanting add another language to their toolkit.
