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.

Well explained. concise. I would urge if examples can be re-looked at. I got a little confused with examples at later stages, especially in the Week 7 lectures. But otherwise, pretty good and well simplified

Very easily and thoroughly explained by the teacher. I'd love to follow the pipeline of courses following this current course and I'd also recommend the course to anyone wishing to learn python from scratch.

The course is so amazing! I love professor Severance because he is humorous and I can always get the point under his guidance. I am sure I will continue to learn other courses taught by professor Severance !

Great experience, I recommend it if you want to learn Python. The course is also good for people with no experience programming. Even though, I have experience programming, I never got bored with the course.

It was very nice course for beginners. The way instructor taught the course is very well and i was very interested with the bonus chapters how different tools or software they created or developed. Thank you

Very good introduction to the subject matter, which doesn't dive in to quickly. There were no moments of feeling lost, because the presentation is gradual, and uses simple analogies to explain the concepts.

I loved the way Dr Chuk delivers the lecture. I am new to python and could easily do all the assignments here just because whatever taught was directly going into mind. Loving this course, will complete all!

A very helpful course for anyone and everyone who wants to learn this language (even without prior knowledge about programming). Highly recommend it to those who want to learn python as their first language.

The lectures are really enjoyable and simple. Well constructed and well built. I enjoyed this course a lot. Thank you.

Note: it is for extreme beginners. If you have some info on programming, you can skip it.

This was a very brief and valuable introduction to Python programming and, specially for my who had limited experience in programming, it was very good to have a slow paced introduction to this new language.

Very nice course. The instructor have a really good presentation skills and could bring the subject to a really simple language.

Should improve the captions size in the videos. In my notebook it was too big.

To get an initial level of knowledge in programming, this course is simply magnificent. Easy presentation of material. All training material is provided. Over assignments sometimes you have to sit and think.

My only programming experience was a few C++ lessons on UNI years ago and probably helped me a bit here, nonetheless this was a very begginer friendly course. I had a great time learning and will keep at it.

Excellent course for a beginner in the field of computer programming. This course is best for the one who wants to start computer programming in one of the most easy programming language in the world PYTHON.

Class was fairly trivial for someone like me who previously had six months of java under my belt. However for someone who is beginning programming will have a solid understanding of python with this course.
