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 :-)

One of the best online courses I have done -mostly as a refresher so I ran through the whole thing in 2 days (about 4h of work) but it got me interested in completing the whole series within a couple of weeks.

I learned a lot in this course. The instructor, Dr. Chuck, explains things in a really easy to understand way. I would highly recommend this as a starting course for anyone with minimal programming knowledge.

Great introductory course on Python. The way of explanation of the lecture was very easy to understand the lecture, and the exercises and quizzes were very good to gauge the knowledge gained from the lecture.

Very helpful curse to make you understand how to write a code not just do the code, with great support material when things gets hard you just have to read and watch videos again and you can solve the curse.

Very good for starting with the basics and getting hands on with some nice assignments with nice videos. One thing to note is the instructor should spend less time in comparing python to a human and 'talking'

Excellent materials (lecture and print) and pacing. The exercises were good at applying what we studied without just repeating what we had seen. Thank you for the intro. I'm looking forward to the next steps.

Great course to begin programming with python. Not recommended to anyone having any prior programming language knowledge. It will be a waste of time. But for a beginner, this is an awesome course to enroll in

If you are a beginner, this course would be very helpful for you. I would like to suggest this course also to those who have started coding but their concepts are not clear and finding difficulties in coding.
