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.

Para los que no tuvimos una formación en sistemas pero estamos interesados en aprender a programar. Este curso es perfecto ya que lo explica muy bien paso a paso. Y super importante el porqué de las cosas.

Very fundamental and suitable for non-programmers...even for non-native speakers, the language will not be an obstacle since the teacher uses an interesting and slow-paced teaching style. Think it's great.

Fantastic! Thanks Professor Severance, you are a great teacher. From an italian chemistry student that has changed the thesis into a software simulation one and need basic programming skills, Grazie mille!

Nice Course for beginners. If you have a little prior knowledge of programming in c, c++, java or other, you will love this course. If you know nothing about programming this is a nice course to start with

Very nice for beginners and Dr. chuck is such a brilliant teacher. I like the way he explains. This course also has graded assignments which will help anyone to apply the concept he learnt in this course.

The course is amazing. The instructor is the absolute best. It was difficult for me to cope up at first, coming from an arts background, but the interactive videos and the discussion forum helped me a lot.

Great instructor with simple yet powerful explanations. This course is great for people who have no prior programming experience. Programmers will find this as an easy entry point to start learning python.

Easy to understand lectures. I found the coursework easy to achieve but frustrating trying to match the expected results. Overall I think it is a good start for anybody who has no knowledge of programming.

Perfect introduction to programming in Python. Easy for beginners (like me). Finished the course in less than a week (2hrs/day). It helps to buy the book (10$) to prepare for the assignments. Great course!

I am a MS Mechanical Engineering graduate, I have beginner level programming knowledge. I was able to complete it in 10 days. After 4th week the assignments becomes little tricky. His lectures were useful.

It is great learning experience. This is my first online course, but it is very interactive. This can be understood by all beginers with ease by the well quoted examples on how to approach for programming.
