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.

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.

Professor Snape... I mean Severance breaks this stuff down better than anyone I've come across. I look forward to taking more of his courses.

Great for beginners. Could be faster and more focused on the coding. I would remove the starbucks videos and mark the interviews as optional.

The best course if you have no prior coding experience. Professor walks down to the straight basics of how the code is read. Excellent course

The lectures were very informative, but there was also enough room for someone completely new to this, like myself, to do their own research.
