Good introductory course. If you've done any programming in the past you can kind of "fast forward" through the videos but it gives you a good overview of the general syntax etc.

This course is perfect for the beginners and especially who do not have any programming background. The assignments are tricky that pushes us to use logical thinking to do coding.

A great intro to Python! Too much video that didn't seem useful to me (the office hours and accompanying video), but the lectures and practice provided a nice balance of learning.

It was a great course. Even if you don't know anything about programming you can take this course.

If you have some experience, you can fast forward to Data Structures with Python.
