The course content is well-organized that makes students easy to follow, but there is limited amount of examples and exercises for students to learn how to apply the knowledge in real world situation.

Very beautifully taught. I gained basic python programming knowledge quite easily. The lecturer is fun and encourages students to want to learn more. In general, it was an awesome learning experience.

This was a very easy and gentle approach to programming. I wish there had been more exercises for the Autograder to get additional practice and that the course instructors did not provide starting code in the Autograder.

Good introduction level course for Python and more. Besides learning Python, it's also a good review of programming logic and style. This course is relatively easy if you have experience with other programming languages.

I gave five stars because the course was very easy to follow, the lectures gave a feeling of sitting in a class room and listening to the professor. Secondly, the exercises were good at making me understand the concepts.

I took the first two classes last year when I was trying out coursera. Now that I really want to pursue a python certificate, I'm going for all the classes this time.

I highly recommend this class if you're new to python.

Dr. Charles is very lively and his every lecture is very engaging. I have learnt a lot from this course and the thought of completing the assignments on deadline always kept me on track. In short I would say it's great.

The course was a rich exchange of experiences and a wonderful learning with dynamics, activities and practical exercises, which, in a way, came to be better than the face-to-face educational experiences I have ever had.

Really enjoyed this course. Dr. Chuck is an amazing teacher and he made this course seem all the more interesting! Looking forward to more such courses by Dr. Chuck (and hopefully another Office Hours visit to India :))

Speaking from someone who has a hate for coding, but works in IT, this course is fabulous! The professor finds real world examples that make sense to non-coding brained students. Refreshing, challenging, and insightful!

This course was wonderful. As someone who has always been interested (but very intimidated) in coding, I can't recommend this course enough. The instructor was wonderful, and the material was great for testing yourself.
