This opened my mind to a whole new way of thinking when it comes to coding. I could see this as being so useful in my line of work. I definitely encourage those wanting to start coding to take this introductory course.

Awesome course. Met its objective and helped me build confidence in Python programming. Its a good step to start. Also, the teaching methodology of Dr. Chuck is awesome. He makes us feel that programming is really fun.

Curso introductorio adecuado para quien nunca ha estado en contacto con un lenguaje de programación. Quizás sea un tanto excesivo la cantidad de material no inherente a la programación, pero al menos lo hace llevadero.

Really good introduction to python, having completed a bachelors of science in mathematics, the concepts of this course were pretty straightforward for me, but a nice introduction in to the foundations of using python.

Excellent course for a person with a non-technical background. The assignments were really helpful. The instructor kept me glued to the course all the time and as a result, I could complete the course enthusiastically.

Pretty good for a totally beginner in programming. But if you like me, have some experience in other languages it seems too easy, but it's also good for me to get a clear review on what I have learnt in other languages

Amazing course taught by Professor Charles Severance!! I had no background of any programming language, after completing this course I am more confident of continuing with Introduction to Data Science in Python course.

Instructor does a great job in explaining foundation programming concepts to new learners. Highly recommended if you don't have any prior programming experience. Was a little too easy for me but a great way to refresh.

Grat course, excellent professor! It is quite easy to successfully complete the course even without any experience in programming. Moreover the professor's sense of humor makes the process funny as well as interesting.

An overview of the basic things about python, you can finish this in one week, if you have previous basic coding experiences.This course can help you know the difference between python and other languages. Good course!

Great introductory course to Python & programming. I thought the lectures that focused on the hardware and how your computer works/computes were unique to programming classes and were helpful for beginners like myself.

I like all the vivid examples and the hand-drawn chart used in the class. The break-up of each class is also great. I feel I learn new things every week without stretching too far. The assignment is buiding up as well.

So far so good, I recommend the course to anyone wanting a start in the programming world. Would like some other exercises to practice more. I know this would make the logistics more complex but this could be optional!

Great course that covers the basics of programming with python (conditionals, functions, loops). Pace is a bit slow if you have other programming experience, but you can really just fast forward through the easy stuff.

It's a very good course for beginners for python. The course material is put together very well. The assignments are not really challenging if you already know programming, but for beginners it should be very exciting.
