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.

I think this was a top notch course, learned a lot. A suggestions that I have for this course would be, promote the course book a little better. A simple link to the book on every chapter would be nice.

A great course for people have no prior experience in any language or even in field of computers.

Once you go through these basics the way the course is structured you can learn any programming language.

Excellent Instructor: Witty, humorous in a way that reinforces the material, and keenly aware and in touch with the emotions and frustrations we students feel when first learning a programming language.

This is a great course. I love the step by step teaching method and detailed explanation. Despite the step by step method, the lecturer never fails to bores us because he always gets right to the point.

Great course for beginners. Advice for new starters, work your way slowly through first couple of weeks. after completion practice with more example before moving to next course (resist the temptation)

Este curso é muito adequado para pessoas que nunca tiveram contato com programação. O professor explica os conceitos utilizando muitos exemplos da vida real e aproxima a programação do nosso dia-a-dia.

Overall, great course! It had a good amount of guidance and support! My only critique is that I wish we were able to see the correct answers to the questions we missed on the quizzes once we pass them.

Es un curso realmente útil, en todo momento se aplican conocimientos que se adquieren al pasar en cada nivel y es realmente entretenido que tengas que aplicarlos ya programando y no en un cuestionario.

Basically i used to hate programming, because i didn't get a abcd of that. But now there's some kind of confidence in me indicating that even i can learn programming. Thank You,Dr.Chuck for the course.
