Very good introduction to basic programming. Very easy for beginners in python who have already some programming background - but still extremely useful to quickly and efficiently learn python basics.

Extremely cute and friendly professor gave a very clear lecture on Python. I learned C ++ before so this course is very easy for me but the last assignment is very good and useful.

It has been refreshing to learn the basics of programming and in such an easy manner. The way Dr.Chuck took us through the basics, it was really kind of easy to grasp the concepts.

Liked it a lot! Information is structured very clever, so you don't feel intimidated if you never learned programming before. Your knowledge gradually becomes stronger and stronger.

This is a great course! Very straightforward and easy to understand. It also greatly motivated me to explore more about computer science even though my intended major is psychology.

This is an excellent course overall. It goes into great detail, slowly and steadily, and covers each concept from several angles, until it becomes second nature. Highly recommended.
