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.

I loved it! Dr. Chuck is extraordinary in his explanations. A great way to start on Python programming. As a person that hasn't programmed in years it was an encouraging and educational experience :-)

This is a great course, I love the delivery. It has increasing difficulty from one chapter to the next and the bonus/interview section motivates you to continue with the course. A excellent resource for beginners.

Actually, the course is just pretty easy knowing that i got a background in other programming languages. Now, i'm ready to move on to the next level. Thank you for the team who made Python easy for us. More power.

Really well done. I think of all the different online courses I tried, this is the one that helped push me through to start seeing coding as less of a thing to be feared and more of a language that can be learned.

I loved the course! It was exactly what I was looking for - start learning to programme from scratch.

The teacher was good as well (and really funny :D), always giving very detailed explanations and good examples.

I like Dr. Severances' style, so far. His videos are engaging and fun to watch. I also appreciate that the textbook is available for free, as well as a ton of other Python free resources, for the sake of learning.

I truly enjoyed the presenter, the text book, exercises and layout of the module. I started completely clueless. I still struggle with typebacks, but I am now able to start problem solving. Truly valuable course!

Exceptional, lively instruction by Prof. Charles Severance. This is one of the courses that has the classroom vibe. The assignments and the content gradually grow in difficulty and is thus, apt for self-learners.

Great Course, good content, great lecture videos and tricky assignments. The highlight of this course is really the assignments, which cannot be solved unless you have a clear picture of the corresponding chapter

Very Good and smooth introduction for true beginners. However, for those with any level of programming background it could contain more content and language details in the same time span to speed up the learning.

A very beginner friendly course, very understandable even to those who do not know other programming languages. Did not face any issue with the auto grader until the very last assignment otherwise it was perfect.
