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 :-)

I found this class to be very informative! Charles Severance (I hope it's okay there is no prefix) was great at presenting and made the new information palatable. Looking forward to moving on in Python!

Really good course to learn the basics, i'm going to continue with the other 4 courses.

I didn't know anything about coding and still I've been able to understand all very clearly.

I've had too much fun!

До начала курса имел небольшое представление что такое Python, могу дать оценку только первым видео ибо дальше только задания выполнял, очень грамотно закладывают базовое понимание переменных и прочего.

This is a wonderful course to start with python. It not only deals with python code and syntax but general programming constructs in details and in a well explained manner by a very experienced faculty.

I think this was a top notch course, learned a lot. A suggestions that I have for this course would be, promote the course book a little better. A simple link to the book on every chapter would be nice.

A great course for people have no prior experience in any language or even in field of computers.

Once you go through these basics the way the course is structured you can learn any programming language.

Excellent Instructor: Witty, humorous in a way that reinforces the material, and keenly aware and in touch with the emotions and frustrations we students feel when first learning a programming language.

Absolutely wonderful course. It was even more comprehensive than the actual Introduction to Python lectures that I took last semester. I highly recommend this course for anyone starting out with Python!

This is a great course. I love the step by step teaching method and detailed explanation. Despite the step by step method, the lecturer never fails to bores us because he always gets right to the point.

Great course for beginners. Advice for new starters, work your way slowly through first couple of weeks. after completion practice with more example before moving to next course (resist the temptation)

Este curso é muito adequado para pessoas que nunca tiveram contato com programação. O professor explica os conceitos utilizando muitos exemplos da vida real e aproxima a programação do nosso dia-a-dia.

Overall, great course! It had a good amount of guidance and support! My only critique is that I wish we were able to see the correct answers to the questions we missed on the quizzes once we pass them.

It was awesome learning with Mr. Severance you had it beautifully described and I got it all in one go. Thank you for this and I am definitely going to study the part 2 of this 'python data structure'.
