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.

Mr. Charles Severance has done a great job in explaining the basics. He made the whole leraning process very interesting. It's a really good course for beginners like me, who have no prior knowledge on programming.

Its a very good start for someone who is scared of programming in general . This course lays all the fundamentals which are required in later stages of programming.

Thank you Charles Sir for your invaluable teaching

I really loved the way prof. Severance made python programming seem easy. I also loved the way he made learning a fun thing by talking about Hogwarts, etc. Besides, his modest and down to earth manner was Laudable.

As a beginner with no idea of Python, this course had it all, i.e., the fundamentals were explained brilliantly with practical exercises that made learning interesting and fun without taking away the core concepts.

The course is so much fun! But even though the beginning looks easy peasy, the end will define your success. Do not rush and enjoy!

I don't know, but Dr. Chuck's humor is very thin and he is a very great pedagogue!

Este curso te da las bases para conocer más de Python. He programado en otros lenguajes antes, pero por alguna razón sentía que Python no era amigables. Pero gracias al Dr Chuck veo que es el lenguaje más amigable.

Great course! This was my first time trying coding of any sort and I really enjoyed it. While I feel like what I learned is probably very basic I also feel like I've learned a great deal and am eager to learn more.

Great beginners course, as someone who has taken other CS classes at university, I can attest that Professor Severance is the person you want to be learning from. Great explanations, doesn't make the subject boring
