The lectures are easy to follow but it may seem a bit long for a single video.

But thank you very much for your effort to prepare this course to allow more people to learn python.

Amazing tutor and great course. The course forces you to test and trial all sorts of codes, to search for solutions and go into forums to find a way. Really a great way to learn.

I have always been nervous about coding by Dr. S. made sure it wasn't scary at all. Very easygoing and fun to watch. I look forward to the other courses in this specialization.

The first part of a good introductory course to Python. The automated grading makes this course a little easier to handle, in comparison to those that have peer-reviewed grading.

colours in the slides are not clear and disturb the eyes especially when using purple, yellow and light green. Other than that this course is terrific and the instructor rocks :)
