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 was an awesome course , the instructor was very good at explaining it in a (hogward) like way .It was fun, i feel like anyone who doesn't have prior knowledge on programming can learn it with ease.

Loved having Dr. Chuck teach this course!

His approach and explanations are easy to follow as a beginner, yet also challenging enough that I feel I got a lot out of this course.

Good introduction for non-technical folks.

I have experience with a few languages, and it was nice to see it walk me through the syntax with progressively challenging exercises.

Really good for someone who knows about programming, but not in python. The pace is pleasant, it is better than a book, as you hear how the jargon is used. Highly recommend it.

Really well-designed course. The best thing about this course is that it focuses more on computer science or programming skill-building rather than the Python language itself.
