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 :-)

It is very interesting. I enjoyed the video classes. I should say that the course is at a very introductory level. So, it is really designed for those who do not have any knowledge of programming or about Python.

Enjoyed the teachers enthusiasm and want to teach everyone even the most beginner of programers. Also was very easy to do everything asked in order to be successful. Can't wait to see what course 2 has to offer.

Those who don't have a prior programming knowledge will find it easy and those who already know a little bit of programming, this will be easier. Most importantly it covers every single basic knowledge of python.

Dr. Charles is amazing and explains everything in a very lucid manner by giving examples from the real world that you can relate to. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to start programming.

the course was nicely explained. all the joke and real life example make it more interesting but the peice of code search the most occuring word in a paragraph is still not taught even when the course is complete

This is doable for anyone who has interest to learn coding, in this case, learning about Python. Dr Chuck has made it pretty simple to digest, learn and understand even if you have never learn or done any coding.

The course was easy to follow and fit into my life between other things (work, son). The content was interesting and explained clearly. Exercises could have been harder, or at least less like the text / examples.

Dr. Severence's videos are highly informative and he goes step-by-step through the material in a simple and straightforward way. Free pdf book. Free help from course mentors for each week's homework. Great class!

Awesome for Beginners in Programming! Must take this course if you are an early learner and this course is very much focussed on basics and foundations and then it teaches the concepts binding those fundamentals.

A really well-paced introduction for getting started with python. Even though I have programming experience, the lectures really covered the basics very well and gave me a good foundation to further learn python.

Very nice class. I enjoyed all the lectures, especially how Dr. Chuck conveys a concept comparing with real world things. It was nice of him to show us the motherboards and how each component works in a computer.

The best option for taking your first steps in Python. The instructor is so welcoming, you can tell he has a passion for his job and feels the need to share it with us. Can't wait to keep learning with the team.

This course starts with the basics of computer hardware and architecture. It progresses with the explanation of how main and secondary memory works.

It then talks about Python language and its various constructs.
