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 :-)

Essentially the best course for me so far to learn a programming language. I thank Professor Severance for his painstaking effort to teach python programming for beginners like me. Thanks a lot.

I had no experience with any kind of programming, but in this course everything was given step by step, so it was interesting, because it was not too easy, but not so hard that you want to quit.

Good for basic Python syntax and semantics. Too basic if you already are familiar with the semantics of another programming language. Then it's better to just look up the syntax and differences.

Easy to getting started and then more challenging as I put together all the building blocks of python that I learnt from the previous chapters. Overall very well laid out videos and assignments.

Love this course! It's easy to follow and there a little jokes here and there that make it interesting. I have some experience with Python so it was a lot of review but it was still interesting!

Excellent course, very well organized and explained. I had basic previous training in C++ in the Engineering grad but even for a student with no background I believe it would be easy to pick up.
