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.

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 course would be a good material for the very beginning Python learner, and it tells us the basic functions of Python as a very popular programming language.

Excellent introduction to a new programming language. I learning C/C++ 20 years ago, and find Python much easier to understand and use, and better for beginners.

Good intro, but would like more clarity in how to finish last assignment. The text was not informative and should provide a better template of how to get it done

The best introductory course for Python, especially for those who has zero programming knowledge. Mr. Charles Severance is the best. Hope to learn more from him.

The course is fun and challenging at the same time. I have shared this already with my co-faculty and students, hoping they'll have the same experience as I had.

This course is very excellent, and it gives you the basic knowledge of computers not only the methods to program. Moreover, it is also suitable for the newcomer.

Dr. Chuck is great! At times, the course was a little slow-moving, but that does keep everyone on the same page. Everything is explained in full detail and well.

The instructor needs to polish some examples, and I think a bit more computer science terminology wouldn't hurt. But overall it was a nice introduction to Python
