Really good stuff. I know some programming, so I really appreciated the way Dr Chuck pointed out the key things unique to Python and the slides that we'll be coming back to you. Very good balance of CS and what you need.

Very basic, but the class is Programming for Everybody so it should be. Should be accessible for most learners and the course assistants are great at helping in the discussion forum for those who need a little extra help.

This course is a very good complement to the textbook 'Python for Informatics'. This particular course covers Chapter 1 - 5 only. For the rest of the book, you'll need to follow the "Python for Everybody Specialization".

It was easy to understand and has just the exact amount of work load

I recomend it if you have never programmed before (like me), it explains everything in an easy way and give you the bassics to start working with Python
