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 :-)

This course is very basic and is for the learners who are very new to programming. If you already know the programming in other language, only keywords are different and may not be as you expected.

Best professor and amazing course. Need to make people work more. Assignments are interesting. Include more than 2 assignments as people taking online courses don't get time to work on their own.

I have some familiarity with Python already, so this was more of a refresher, but it was well laid out and did a good job bringing you through some fundamentals of python and computational logic.

Very good for beginners and also to brush up and understand basics of programming and why programming is required. Simple arithmatic and logical problems can be implemented with python after this.

it was fun learning python from this course. the best part about this course is the explanation of each and every concept very clearly and this course goes slow that's a good thing for a beginner.

Good amount of detail and analogies for new learners. Was able to get through quickly as a more experienced user of Python to ensure I was up to speed with everything taught for the later courses.

nice. at first it was slow and had to fast forward or skip video. in the end it caught up pace and i had to rewind videos. Program while watching videos as per instructions and you will save time.
