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.

This is a great course for the ones who are starting programming with Python. If you know programming already then also it's good! You can finish it faster if you know any other language. I finished this course in a week.

This was an excellent entry-level course! I've had no previous coding experience and I found it very easy to follow. The assignments felt like the correct level of challenge for the material. I really enjoyed this course!

The best course i could find for learning basics, most courses skip the very basics which lead to weak base concepts later. The best course to learn python from the very starting as the course covers the very basics too.

As a beginner to Python, I found this course very useful as the instructor explains very basic programming concepts. So people who are not familiar to programming would not need any prerequisites to start learning python.

The last programming course I took was in the 1980's. I found this course interesting and challenging. The Dr. Severance gives a great lecture and the teaching staff is very supportive. I'm looking forward to continuing.

A perfect course for beginners and super easy to learn, understand and implement. Kudos to Mr. Charles Severance for making such a wonderful course for the students who want to learn new languages and develop more skills.

Very good introduction to Python. If you have programming experience it may be a little slow, but I view that as a bonus as you get to spend more time really learning the syntax of the language with easy data structures.

Ideal for those who are starting in the world of programming, video tutorials well explained, of short duration and you start with simple exercises, when you are leaving the exercises is very satisfactory, I recommend it!

Python gives you wings but you will definitely need an Automail expert engineer from Computer Science to attach them with your neural network. Charles Severance is amazing instructor and others will enjoy his classes too.

slides and video lessons were very clear and made my first programming course very easy to follow. The course followed a very logical path that built on the prior so you can see how the skills you learned came together.

My first real start to coding in Python. There was no better place and better time as well. The intelligent and fun-to-be-with tutor nailed every topic so great. I learned so much in few days, thanks to Charles Severance.

This is the first online course I 've ever taken and this is beyond my expectation. The course is sequential with the detailed points made by the professor, which is very catchy for a rookie to start. I really like it!!!!

The course is designed in very well manner, especially Dr. Chuck explanation about each fact in detail. Not too lengthy not too short focused on practical assignments which is important rather than theoretical knowledge.

extremely basic but Dr. Charles Russell Severanc is so interesting that you never get bored. You can pass the course in a few days with minimum or even no programming knowledge. It's a good starting point for beginners.

Dr Charles Severance lessons are never boring. I have enjoyed attending his class and his humor never fails to make me laugh. I'm sure I can excel better if the lessons are conducted face to face with Dr Charles. Thanks!
