This is an excellent course. The instructor explains the concepts very well and they are easy to understand. The course and program could benefit from office hours like google Hangout sessions where we can interact with people.

If you have never done any programming, this course will walk you through it. Prof. Severance is very laid back. His lectures stay with the book. If you have been exposed to some programming, you can work at your own pace.

The lecturer was just so incredible, thoughtful and humorous. I enjoyed the course and for the first time feel like some of the programming concepts I struggled with before are hardcoded in my brain now. Thank you Dr. Chuck!!!

Marvelous! It's such a great MOOC. Charles explains everthing with simply words and everybody can undestand (even if you don't have any experience with Python). I recommend attend this course because programming is the future.
