I loved it! Dr. Chuck is extraordinary in his explanations. A great way to start on Python programming. As a person that hasn't programmed in years it was an encouraging and educational experience :-)

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.

This is a very interesting and intriguing class. The teacher is the most humorous and gentle teacher I've ever met. His classes in this course are diversified. You can never get bored. Don't need to worry about this course, the knowledge is fundamental.

If you want a fast "on ramp" to programming, in general, and Python in particular, then this is the course for you. Dr. Chuck makes the content extremely easy to grasp and there are numerous, well integrated resources that will help get you up-to-speed.

I had done some python before, but I thought I should start at the start. Dr Chuck is an engaging teacher, who doesn't assume any knowledge and takes things at a good pace, not too slow but not too fast. I'm looking forward to doing more of his courses.

I am not new to programming, but I am extremely rusty. I loved this course and I truly felt like Professor Chuck was teaching me live (of course with the ability to pause and rewind :) ). I will start the remaining courses in this series immediately.

A very well-paced class took somewhat overwhelming topics (at first) and made them easy to understand. I love Professor Severance's enthusiasm; you can see he loves teaching computer science! Looking forward to finishing the rest of the specialization!

The course gives an introduction to programming to a layman. It starts of very well with good set of examples about computers, processing etc, and then builds on to it and starts the programming part without rushing anything. Recommended for beginners.

I really enjoyed this course and the instructors teaching style. Being able to catch still pictures of the slides for my notes was very helpful. Also, being able to watch videos of similar assignments was very helpful when I was stuck on an assignment.

The Lecturer is so enthusiastic. His enthusiasm is so contagious. The way he explains each topic is really basic and very understandable. If you're looking to start learning about coding as a beginner (not knowing anything), this is the course for you.

Great introduction to Python and programming as a whole. Everything is broken down making it easy to understand.

I just wish that there were more sample homework before the exercises so students could see how the lessons are applied to actual problems.

Explanations were clearly explained, which has helped helping me understand what really is going on with the code/instructions executed. Dr. Chuck also used analogies that helped me get a clearer picture of the program executed. Overall, very happy.

Love the course and the professor. Even though it was a 7 week course i did it in one or two. The tpoics were good and some what knew. Got to learn a lot and still have a long way to go.

TRY PLEASE IF YOU WANT TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW OR LEARN PROGRAMING.

Very good course for both people with technical and non-technical backgrounds to start learning Python. Prof. Severance does a great job explaining the concepts with good examples. The quiz and exercises make sure you have grasped concepts practically.

This course was really helpful. It has given me a better understanding of programming, and as I plan to pursue Robotics in the future, learning python from the basic was important. The course covers the initial steps required to get started with python

I took four python intro courses from LinkedIn Learning prior to this course but it was still foggy with question marks in my head. This course cleared the fog like a magic! I started understanding the codes much clearer. Thanks, Prof. Severus Snape!
