This course has certainly introduced me to the world of programming, I certainly did not think it would be this easy to grasp, in such a short space of time.

great intro to Python. Professor is great at easing you into the language and logic behind all the "lingo." Will work to complete the entire specialization.

Excellent course, great teacher, a bit too easy i would say. I would have preferred to dive in directly in Python. However, i cannot give less than 5 stars.
