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 :-)

Great course. I am a C# developer looking to also learn Python, so I watched all the videos on 2X speed and flew through it in a few hours. It was a good way to get the foundation of Python fast.

I like the course design and the exercises are very helpful to review the key concepts in the videos. I think the course wants to teach us how to think like a computer scientist by learning python.

I do learn a lot about python from this course.

Even though I'm a super beginner as to python, but this course gave me kind explanation and inspiration.

I do wanna recommend this course for everyone!

The pace and structure are perfect for the beginner programmer. The courses build in difficulty in a logical progression to help the learner gain a solid infrastructure for more challenging topics.

Dr. Severance is the programming professor I should have had back in '87 when I was crunching thermodynamics with Fortran 77. Boy I was lost back then! He does great and it all works well online.

It's an exceptional course on Coursera. Course is a bend of theory and wisdom lectures from Python founder and inventors in computer sciences. It's always pleasure to listen to Professor Severance.

Great overview - went over things many times but patiently and slowly. I have taken a few intro to programming classes and this was one of the easier to follow and understand ones I've experienced.
