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 :-)

Excellent way to start understanding the core concepts and syntax of Python. Doesn't delve too deeply into anything advanced, and is a perfect way to see if you'd be interested in further study.

This class was awesome, I have no idea programming and it was always a

threatening issue to me. Dr Chuck is a great teacher who knows how to make the students feel confident starting programming

I really enjoyed this course, and found that the progression was paced perfectly. The last exercises are hard, but achievable in light of the more basic examples that are very clearly explained

Se explican los temas de una muy buena manera, me gusta que cuente con subtitulos para las personas que hablamos otro idioma, y la parte de los ejercicios me parecio muy interesante y educativa

Charles is really good at explaining Programming with basic examples related to our day-to-day lives. I really loved it when Charles compared Python to a dog and how a dog responds to keywords.

I was fascinated with the proffesor. He really wants every student in his class to learn, and explains so clear and concise. This is one of the best classes that I have taken in Coursera. 10/10

This course is an excellent option, but I must say that it will not give you all. It just gives you the simplest things, but for the assignments you need to study and look for more information.

Muy entretenido y la plataforma externa para los ejercicios ayuda mucho. Como recomendación: si buscas introducirte de cero a la programación, quizá el ritmo de este curso sea demasiado rápido.

I started out feeling highly intimidated by Python. The instructor lets you know you can understand this programming language and if you just trust it, by giving it a chance, you will love it.

It's a very good lecture. Dr. Chuck not only teaches skills, but also minds. It is the difference between a computer and a human and a human being must know what a computer does not understand.

This course part 1 was quite subtle and nice for beginners with an interesting tone and gestures to the content. Not gonna forget about the reference to outer world and pop-culture stuff too.

Loved the course and really enjoyed the professor. Harkened back to MY initial programming experience in the 80's with the punch cards myself.

Taking the next one! Can't get enough of Dr. Sev!

Prof. Charles has a great knowledge of python, he knows his subject so well. though, from a commerce background, I can proudly say I have started programming, thanks to this simplified course.
