Great course for refreshing your python basics, and any beginner looking to pick up Python basics will be in a comfortable spot after completing this course and a bit of practice with the assignments.

Great for a fundamental course. I have to admit that I had learnt python a few years back and was using this as a practice and revision course. But I learnt a lot more which I can add to my knowledge.

It's great course. I enjoyed every lecture. 4 stars just because sometimes videos and book weren't enough for me to understand so I looked for additional online help.

IT'S A GREAT COURSE SPECIALLY FOR THE BEGINEERS. IT HELPED ME A LOT AND ENHANCED MY KNOWLEDGE INT THE COMPUTER PROGRAMMING. HOWEVER THE TEST AND QUIZES ARE QUIT HARD.

Very good course for me as a beginner in Python and coding in general. I feel I'm in a good place now to dive deeper into Python and learn other languages as well.

Good start to learning programming language.

However, it teaches programming through Scratch only. Few additional lectures with C++/Python would have been an ideal.

Buen curso introductorio, a veces en los cuestionarios aparecian cosas un poco rebuscadas pero las tareas de programacion son acordes a lo enseñado en los videos.

It is a very nice course to start with, but the structure of assignments isn't that good, it should include more coding rather than completing the the given code

This was a great introducing course. I have no knowledge about programming before doing this course and I was able to understand all and I learnt a lot. Thanks!!

Great introductory course. Covers a broad range of topics.

Would have enjoyed more assignments... However, the assignments provided were a good learning tool.

The course is really focused in the fundamentals and tricks to program code in a smart and efficient way avoiding duplicating lines when is not necessary.

Sometimes a little fast to follow, but very good in general. With this introductory course, I can already start using python for some academic projects.

Good introductory course, some of the concepts were not explained very well, and I needed to seek external help. The quizzes and assignments were good.

There are some things that are questionable and very confusing on the quizzes. Wish this course was a little more updated and using more modern Python.

This code is great to learn the fundamentals of Python. The videos are interactive and the quizzes and assignments will help you practice it in detail.

The level hardness of the Questions are very good.

Very good for beginners, especially the exercises and exams. Just that a3_driver.py seems not working well , although the assessments are passed.

This course was great, my only complaint is that some of the assignment feedback was not entirely clear, but a little extra time went a long way.

Very insightful and easy to follow through, but still post some challenges. Great course in general for someone with zero programming knowledge.

Everything was good except the quizzes and assignments. In quizzes there was no feedback and in assignments you couldn't see the tests.

Thank you
