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 love the professor. He is showing us that everyone can learn a bit of coding. He explain complex problem in a simple way. From a non programming background, I don't feel threatened by the class.

Ideal progression pace on the subject and loved the way the details were accentuated, not bogged by the love of the subject rather patient enough to understand the student and pace it accordingly.

Most experts explain their topics with to much complexity for the novice learner. This course is not that. The professor has done a great job starting from the basics, making it engaging to learn.
