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 :-)

Fantastic! Dr. Chuck made the course interesting and relevant while also helping to demystify some of what I perceived to be the most challenging parts of elementary python. Awesome course, highly recommend.

Very good course with an awesome instructor. The content is easily understandable. It is a good mixture of video, text and graphics/flow diagrams. The quizzes and tasks are neither too easy nor too difficult.

I believe this course has the right pace and content for people who want to learn to program but don't want to become a computer scientist necessarily. The course is very well delivered and I really loved it.

Great intro to Python. Even though I have previous knowledge of other programming languages, this is still useful for me to get used to syntax and remove habits of other language (curly braces and semi-colon)

I had my doubts regarding how this course will be structured and whether I will be able to keep up since, I am not of a computer science background. However, the course was very friendly and target the basics

I really like Dr. Severance's teaching style!! He actually talks about Python coding in 'plain English' and he pops in a few jokes into the lessons. The assignments are relevant and help me learn. Thank you!!

The instructor introduces the basic programming codes for Python which is really helpful for the further studying in computer science. It's clear but I'd recommend to make the course content more challenging.

The training was simple to follow and easy to understand. At times it was really too basic, but then experienced programmers are perhaps not the intended audience in this case anyway. Good work and thank you.

Great course for a beginner in programming/Python to get their feet wet. Not much here for those who already have the basics of programming down unless you wish to refresh or further cement the fundamentals.
