Easy to follow and not boring. The instructor breaks things down in simple form. The Coursera platform is sometimes a bit quirky but otherwise the content in this course I thought was quite excellent.

Very good introduction to basic programming. Very easy for beginners in python who have already some programming background - but still extremely useful to quickly and efficiently learn python basics.

It is a good course for those who are starting to program. I recommend do it even if you already know some programming language because you can review some topics and learn python in the begining.

Excelente curso, las lecciones son faciles, no te perdes al momento de hacer los ejercicios y son lo suficientemente retadores sin caer en la necesidad de ser muy complejos o exagradamente fáciles

Perfect way to introduce yourself in Python world. Dr. Chuck is allways funny and you really enjoy watching the videos. The course structure goes slowly but sure that you're learning step by step.

Your first impression might be that the course looks a little dated, however don't get it twisted, this course is timeless and is relevant for as long as Python 3 is the most up to date Python.

Es el mejor curso de python que pude encontrar, al principio no tiene mucho que ver con el tema pero que eso no te quite la emocion por aprender, se entiende muy bien pero tambien hay subtitulos.

This course is very good for the foundation knowledge about python. It helps newbie understand some very basic things about python. But, it is not good for someone who already good at programing.

Very good introduction to python and programming in general. The way they make us think in the videos is very helpful to solve the problems and it doesn't scare people with overcomplicated things

This course has been very helpful and easy to follow. The lessons are clear, however, I think it would be helpful to explain how to use the syntax for some of the functions, even if just briefly.

A very good course in my view. The classes were good. But assignments were a little advanced but was abled to complete after 2-3 tries. I had no former experience in python and still held up good

Very well prepared course. The lectures are very informative, the color coding in the slides is very helpful. It would be better, if there were a bit more assignments to test what you've learned.

Dr. Chuck's teaching is very fantastic. The course is very descriptive and covers every details. Any students with a very little knowledge of programing can excel well in python with this course.

Really easy to understand the basics of Python with the help of an amazing instructor,Dr. Chuck ! Very informative and the best part for me is that you don't have be good in mathematics at all :P

Thank you for the course.

I think it would be more useful to have more small exercise within one week. So students can not only listen to the theory but what is more important, can more practice.
