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 :-)

A very good course for beginners who don't know from where to start learning python.

Teacher is very good and tells the mistakes that most of the newbies do.

Overall, its a good course to get a hang of python

Hi, everyone!

I've completed this course, this course would clear all your doubts you could possibly have at the basic level. I think it is the best course on the internet to start with.

Good luck :)

Thanks!!!

It's a great experience learning python for me with have no IT experience. Prof. Chuck makes a great explanation and easy understanding. I think that continue lessons would be a nice idea for the next step.

Definately reccomended if you're a complete beginner to programming. I already knew the basics of a few other languages, so I got through this course relatively quickly. I still learned new things though :D

This is an excellent introduction to Python. I am a physician with an interest in data science, and I was able to grasp the concepts easily. Looking forward to the rest of the courses in the specialization.

It is a really good course for someone who is new to programming. Videos are interactive . Quizzes and assignments help student evaluate themselves and give them change to learn and work on missing skills.

Charles Severance is a great instructor, even though it was an online class i was able to keep up with all the lessons. I'm looking forward to begin the next course and all the new stuff i'm going to learn.

Py4e is a great course! People with zero programming background or knowledge, like me, find it very easy to understand and follow up! Lecturer is supreme and mentors are so helpful as well! Thank you a lot!

The lectures are easy to follow. Walking you through how each operator works/does.

The projects reinforced the chapter lectures, reinforcing the lecture content.

As a beginner to Python it was easy to follow.

Very easy to understand and the assignments properly tested our ability to apply my programming skills. I strongly recommend this course if you just want to understand the basic structure of python scripts.

Great course ... really tries to introduce programming to the novice and works hard to avoid intimidating the learner. I had great fun (though I've had prior experience with C programming) doing the course.

The pacing of the teaching was excellent! For someone who is easily frustrated by the literal nature of programming, I developed some sympathy for its binary nature in this course - that's not an easy feat.

This is an excellent course for someone who is new to programming and all the topics has been covered very nicely and illustrated easily by keeping a novice in mind. Great course to learn about programming.

I started with no prior knowledge but the course instruction walked me through from scratch adding one piece of knowledge upon another which became a solid foundation for me.

Enroll and you won't regret it.

The professor's lecture is so awesome; however, the content is adjusted to the new programming learners. I heard the extended part of the course is charged; you can purchase it if you want deeper learning.

Really enjoyed this course. It was short enough so that I didnt get overwhelmed. The professor is really good. Easy to understand which is surprising considering the amount of tea he must drink in a day.
