So easy to learn with the videos and tutorials! I have gone through 2 other coding classes and haven't been able to finish because I get stuck and this one has been 100x better in helping me learn :)

Easy to follow and not boring. The instructor breaks things down in simple form. The Coursera platform is sometimes a bit quirky but otherwise the content in this course I thought was quite excellent.

Amazing tutor and great course. The course forces you to test and trial all sorts of codes, to search for solutions and go into forums to find a way. Really a great way to learn.

Very humorous and professional course, compare to Python official tutorial, Dr.Chunk's book is more friendly to new learners~hope can add more exercises in the future if possible

I have always been nervous about coding by Dr. S. made sure it wasn't scary at all. Very easygoing and fun to watch. I look forward to the other courses in this specialization.

The first part of a good introductory course to Python. The automated grading makes this course a little easier to handle, in comparison to those that have peer-reviewed grading.

colours in the slides are not clear and disturb the eyes especially when using purple, yellow and light green. Other than that this course is terrific and the instructor rocks :)

This course is absolutely amazing because it teaches you everything from the very beginning. So if you dont have any background in programing then you definitely must not worry .

Coming from an absolute beginner- this is a graet introductory course. Course assumes you know nothing about programming and walks you step-by-step with an achievable challenge.
