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 :-)

In contrast to the lousy data science class I took this is excellent. Actually it is excellent period. I almost did not take another online class because the IBM data science class was so bad.

Course felt just like a college class. Well structured with a balance between videos (not boring), modeling and assessments. Python is introduced from concept to reality in more ways than one.

This course is pretty friendly and suitable to a novice like me. The professor is very humorous and his lecture is clear and articulate to a foreign student. anyway, it is a great experience.

Well done. I liked to dig deep in Python and understand the main principles. Well structured, easy and nice course with sufficient examples to check your knowledge and fill the gaps.

Recommend!

Very Good course and the instructor is also good.

assignments are good but there should be more assignments or there should be given some practice questions also.

Overall very good experience.

Dr. Chuck is great. He explains things in ways that are understandable to people who are not already familiar with the course material, which is a surprisingly rare trait for most instructors.

Material of the course organized well and easily grasped. Suites well for beginners. Experienced programmer can watch the videos very quickly and get introduced with basic rules of the script.

Excelent course. I am a programmer teacher and I do not know Python. That is the reason to do this course. But beyond that I am excited because the examples and the way to teach are very good.

I liked this course since it is down to the very basic in programming. A person who has never programmed before, will definitely learn how to program, as well as learning the basics in Python

The Educator feels like he was damn young while teaching and this course helped me to revise whatever i had learnt earlier and moreover helped me know the topics with which i was not familiar

I don't know anything about programming and this course teaches me a lot, of curse I will keep learning about python until I master it. I want to thank Mr. Charles for this wonderful course.

Generally very good and informative class. My only nitpicks are that at times the class can meander around the topics and take a while to explain why a concept is useful, but otherwise solid.

Very good course for beginners. Professor explains things well and on all fronts, including the local Python installation. The tools are good and easy to use. You can skip the bonus material.

I highly recommend to take this course. Charles is really good in teaching! I have lots of problems with every assignments. But teaching stuff try to point what is wrong in every assignments!
