I completed the course in about three days. I've never programmed before to the learning curve was excruciating but nonetheless I managed to get through and finally get my python feet wet so to speak.

Excellent, although, even without having any programming experience except some Visual Basic at school about ten years ago, in my opinion the course could have bee more difficult and the pace quicker.

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.

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.

The instructor, Dr. Chuck, is amiable. I enjoyed his lessons very much. You have to beat your brains out to solve the assignments, which makes this course more enjoyable. I loved this course. I am looking forward to completing the other courses in this specialization.

The most valuable things in the course are challenges that are connected to the lectures that you should note and be attentive while listening to Dr. Charles. It is a way that python developers should solve problems in programming. Thank you. My best recommendation :)

The instructors, video and reading are all relevant and straight to the punch. In addition, I felt the class did an excellent job of explaining difficult terms in a fashion that's understandable to someone who had absolutely 0 programming skills prior (me). Thank you.

I've tried a lot of different online resources to learn to program, and this course by Dr. Chuck is one of the most effective and delightful. You learn quickly, while still taking the time to understand the underlying fundamentals, something that other resources skip.

I have made many attempts to learn programming over the last couple of years. I gave up thinking that I just didn't have the mind for it. Then, I found this course. This is exactly what I needed. I've made real progress and have hope. Thank you Dr. Severance and team!

I've background in medicine and public health, I used STATA and SPSS before, so have some knowledge of what coding is, but Dr Chucks elevated my knowledge and skills to a whole different level, and I'm now thinking about logics in coding differently, to be continued.

Professor of this course knows exactly the problems that people may encounter and questions that people may ask. He gives all explanations and answers in an easy-to-understand and extremely funny way.

Follow his course if you doubt yourself and you will work this out.

This course is a great introduction to python! I started with zero background. The lecture structure is very good as it slowly builds you up to more complicated things. The lecturer is clear in explaining and provides good examples. The quizzes are also very helpful.
