I loved it! Dr. Chuck is extraordinary in his explanations. A great way to start on Python programming. As a person that hasn't programmed in years it was an encouraging and educational experience :-)

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.

The course is very detailed and helps a beginner or someone who is returning to programming after a break equally. I loved that each chapter had great examples and tests soon after to be able to recollect and apply all the learning. Thank

This course has just made me hungry for more , most informative and proper step by step instruction ensures that if applied properly the student has a basic understanding of how powerful a tool python can be in ones day to day operations

Prof Chuck has a great personality for teaching and I thoroughly enjoyed learning the basics of Python from this course. I'm excited to continue working on the next course in this series and begin building more complex programs in Python.

Thank you so much for this course. I have learnt the hard way with the assessments I did in this course. The person who helped me with the last assessment (5.2) is very patience and has provided me with the required help and attention.

I gain too much knowledge from Dr.chuck and I got fundamental knowledge of python from him and overall experience is very good as well as code submission and quiz competition, I want to continue and master the knowledge of python course.

I love it how Chuck helps us understand not only the coding essentials, but also how our programs interact with the environment (hardware and software), aiming at not just "passing the subject", but really learning the material.

Congrats!

its excellent but course era courses needs to improve certificate generation process as it becomes confusing when some things are not done as required proper instructions should be given and ease should be there in certificate generation

Me fue genial en el curso, a pesar de que entre sin conocer mucho de python sali aprendiendo más de lo que pense y sobre el instructor dejaba todo en claro en los pocos minutos que enseaba. Muy recomendado el curso para los principiantes

This is an excellent course. Professor Severance is truly charismatic and can make everyone laugh. Even though I'm fairly new to programming, I understood everything with minimal effort, and I have to thank this awesome teacher for that.

Initially, the format of this course was slow and sometimes tedious. But as I advanced, I realized that they were applying a methodology that seeks to excite the student and complement in every way a transversal learning. I recommend it.

It is very suitable for a starter in programming. At first, it is very easy and fundamental. However, only if you make full understanding of the fundamental part, can you solve the problems in the following chapters! What a great course!

Very nice course, well explained how python is 'thinking', so you really understand how the program is working if these are your first steps. One of the best thing is, that you have to write your own code and the end of the each chapter.
