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.

Very beginner friendly course. I have a bit of python experience through other MOOCs. This course kept my attention and made me want to finish the course. If you have prior experience, you should aim to finish the course within a week. The bonus videos were also great.

This is a well-taught introductory course. The course instructor, Dr. Chuck is a very engaging teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed taking this course. If you have a background in programming in another language, it should be possible to go through this course pretty quickly.

I started with no previous experience at all in Python (though some in R), and now feel pretty good that I can find my way through most basic tasks. Dr. Chuck is such a good teacher and I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn or refresh their Python!

As a 2 time Python course drop-out, to have completed the 7 weeks in a matter of 6 days, I feel validated and have more or less made it a goal to hopefully meet the man that was able to break through this REALLY thick skull of mine, and help me comprehend programming!

This is just the tip of the iceburg. I felt this course clearafied basic information I was lacking for the Harvard CS50x course and was in over my head. I will digest the information form what I learned here and hope to feel more confident and becone more productive.

I really reccomend this course to people that have very little to no knowledge about python or other programming languages. It is a great start because it also teaches the basics of programming and how you are supposed to approach problem-solving when writing a code.

It was a great experience with Charles sir. Even though I was new to python but I did not find any difficulty in learning. I can surely say that one do not need any prior knowledge of programming to start this course. I really enjoyed the course. THANKS TO CHARLES SIR

My first thought is whether I am able to acquire basic skills using phyton. As I go through the learning process (as the instructor clearly explained all the reasoning in coding phyton), I find it interesting to explore, learn more about phyton and acquire the skills.

I love Dr Chuck. Have done many of his courses and each of them is so enjoyable. I knew the course material well already but I finished it anyway because he is the instructor. I knew he'd make the experience valuable. I can't thank him enough for all that I've learnt.

Thanks!

A very beginners-friendly course on programming with Python.

I was really encouraged & inspired by the knowledge of programming, coding, problem-solving with computational language.

Thanks! To Open-mindedness, curiosity, and devotion of the responsible professor!

A really exceptional course, I really recommend anyone who is just starting to ode and have no coding background. This is just the course for you. Also anyone with prior knowledge can really just brush up their skills and memory on Python through this. I did the same.

Un buen curso para iniciarse en Python, ya sea que se tenga noción de programación en otros lenguajes o si es el primer contacto con la programación. Si bien el inglés es un idioma muy usado en muchos lugares del mundo, sería bueno que tuvieran subtítulos en español.

Very good course. Lectures were extremely detailed yet comprehensive and covered all the threads related to the program. The schedule was very flexible. The support on the discussion also helped by lot. The assignments employed practical thinking and problem thinking.

A great course for anyone who wants to start with programming even with close to zero knowledge about it. Pretty much jump-starts your brain about the electronic and programming world. You start to see the world in a programmer's perspective a bit after finishing it.
