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 :-)

it's soooo good. The lecturer makes everything simple and clear. He applied visual aids to help me better understand the abstract concepts. The quiz and assignments allow me to do more practices.

Great course my only complaint is not enough assignments to apply and practice. Hard to make up scenarios/situations to solve when I don't know what I can or can't do yet in terms of programming.

well outlined, and the content is easy to follow for beginners.

It would be best if there were an update and it do a version of python 3.

Overall, it is a good course, from the ppts to the e-book.

I feel like programming is a serious gap in my otherwise quite good education and Dr. Chuck set me on the way to correcting that in a very fun and professional manner. Thank you, I'll keep going.

It's an amazing course, even for beginner's who barely had any knowledge about programming. It includes exercises that teach you step-wise know how and a logical flow towards understanding python

Very tidy and step by step course. Dr. Chuck has a great sense of humour, it wants you to keep wanting more. The bonus videos with all the great inventors of the languages is like cherry on cake.

I had a little bit of knowledge about Python coding before taking these courses, but it was very insightful and helpful in my quest to learn more and helped instill the things I did already know.

Very funny and experienced Professor!

Very helpful and thorough course, but a little bit too easy.

Very good starting point for those want to learn programing but no previous programing experience.

Learning from Sir Charles Severance feels very good. He's a very good professor. I hope when I proceed to a university for my higher studies, I get a chance to learn from a professor like him :)

The course is a bit slow for someone with a programming background but it is an awesome way to make the training completely fool-proof and may cater a very little to no experience in programing.
