The videos provide clear instructions about how to start python programs and essential information related to the program. I am also attracted by the teaching style of Dr. Charles, because he is both intelligent and humorous.

It's a decent course, good for starters with no background in programming. Course instructor is great, he teaches everything from basics. You'll enjoy this course if you are looking forward to learn Python from the beginning.

great and easy to understand. Finished it within a week if you really get into it. Recommended for beginner! It might take you slighter longer, but if you are really into it you can finish it faster then the recommended time.

The course was very productive in terms that it gave some strong basis of what coding is. I was an absolutely beginner before taking this course. Special thanks to professor Charles Severance because his energy is contagious.

Approach of teaching was awesome! It also brings some relaxation with the office hour videos. By the way, I like and enjoyed your interview with Pooja, the Piazza founder and that of Guido van Rossum. Big Thanks to Dr. Chuck!

Dr Severance is really an amazing teacher - he conveys rather complicated information in an easy to digest format. Also, what a bad ass for dedicating so much of his personal time for a free class. So very much appreciated.

Thank you for your great lecture, Dr. Chunk. This was my first class for computer science and I hope that I will be able to pass these all courses in programming for everybody. I really appreciated your help. God bless you :)

Brilliant course. Best suited for people with little programming exposure.

I know programming so completed the courses with 1.5 or sometimes 2X speeds.

Still worth going though as this is how you learn new programming language

Very satisfied. Highly recommended!

I am good with PHP and learning Python has been pretty easy, I have learned Python from several other classes, but this course taught me some things that I stumble on because of my knowledge with PHP. They are different. LOL

Excellent course. The teacher is very didactic and the classes are great. Dr. Chuck shows good energy to transfer knowledge. The forum is very useful and the managers help a lot with the solution of the doubts that may arise

Great information for anyone trying to get their feet wet with Python and coding in general. Dr. Chuck makes difficult information understandable due to his down to Earth mentality. Can't wait to learn about Data Structures!

I learned a lot through this course. Mr. Charles Severance is one of the best teachers to study python from. Though the course was a bit difficult towards the end, but he explained it in such a way that even that became fun.

Charles Severance does an awesome job of explaining things and is a very good teacher. This is a very good course. Some parts do not make sense at first but if you keep at it everything comes together and clicks. Thank you!

Muy interesante, te enseña a comprender mejor los dispositivos que utilizamos a diario. Además, te da unas base de programación. Aunque no esperes saber programar según termines el curso. Hay que echarle muchas horas a esto.
