Great teacher Chuck and obviously a great course for people just starting out with programming. Well paced. The suggested timings for the assignments were a bit off, I think, but well, that's just me.

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.

Course provided a good basis for the specialization. As I am working through the Data Structures course I can see how this course prepared me.

Superb lecturer. Has a very pedagogical approach to teaching, is very funny, and is able to teach relatively complex issues in a simple manner.

Excellent for someone who has never programmed before

Not very useful for someone familiar with programming, unless he wanted to learn Python...
