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.

The material was presented in a very dynamic, incremental, and engaging way. Dr. Severance does a great job at teaching in a way that loops you into thinking to arrive at the solution as opposed to just telling you.

This is the best foundation course I have ever taken for Python. Dr. Chuck was amazing in explaining the details of the course in the most effective way (with some humor in between :-) ) Will be coming back for more!

I've tried multiple introductory coding courses and never been able to stick with any of them. I really love how this course is designed to be taken in small stages so I feel like I'm always accomplishing something.

I love that this course explains everything from a very beginner and basic understanding! As someone coming from an entirely different field, the descriptions and explanation for Python is great! Thank you so much :)

I found this course very clear. It was almost a little slow for me because I have programmed in the past, but it was a great way to get back up to speed on the vocabulary, architecture and principles of programming.

Very informative and the combined work on the textbook and the video resources allows you to learn very quickly. I had no previous programming experience whatsoever, but I found it very enjoyable and I learned a lot!

It is really wonderful python course for those who have no basic sense with programming at all. Dr. Chuck is very inspiring and as well humorous, which makes this course effective and not so exhausting. Great course!

I would highly suggest a large degree of patience. I am new to program and this required a large portion of patience to complete this section. I will stay focused and complete the additional courses. great course.

I have some background in programming (not advanced), so some of this was review, but it is a GREAT introduction to the world of programming, for anybody--as long as you have the interest, this is the place to start!

It's a great intro course to Python

Professor Severance is really great and brings it down to the lowest level one can understand.

The assignment tool is pretty great as well. Gives you the errors you need to work on.

Basic but thorough. Useful if you're a beginner as it starts from scratch or if you're a seasoned developer in other programming languages as it shows you the subtleties of Python. The interviews are interesting too.

This course is perfect if you are just starting your programming journey. Even if you don't know anything about programming the course helps you understand the basics of CS and then continues to teaching you Python.

According to me, Perfect course to start learning Python being a beginner. plus the Instructor (Dr. Chuck) is an amazing teacher, I'd wish I can get a teacher like him in real. Go for this Course if u're a beginner.

I think Mr Severance knows his audience very well so that he could clear every single point where there might be a misunderstanding. Great teacher, great course! Couldn’t recommend it more to the beginners like me.

Es un excelente curso introductorio a Python y a la programación en general. El tutor es increiblemente inspirador, y a pesar de ser virtual, logra conectar con los estudiantes e inspirar a aprender. Muchas gracias.

This course was really helpful. As I had knowledge of java and a bit of c programming , I found it quite similar to some extent. These basic building blocks will surely prove to be fruitful for advance Python coding
