Easy to follow and not boring. The instructor breaks things down in simple form. The Coursera platform is sometimes a bit quirky but otherwise the content in this course I thought was quite excellent.

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.

A gentle start to programming for the uninitiated, but easy and straightforward enough for those more experienced to move ahead reasonably quickly.

Loved this course! I had prior knowledge of some topics (iterations, variables etc) since I learned C in high school, so it was kinda easy for me.

I used to do computer programming about ten years ago, and somehow I forgot almost everything related. This course was a great fresh start for me.
