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 :-)

Clear and concise lessons that you will remember. Assignments that let you apply the lessons, and if you have questions or get bogged down, formidable help is available in the forum section.

Great class for students who have no prior experience in programming. I'm an intermediate level programmer, and I took this course just to get a feel for python (the syntax, the basics etc).

Great course and lecture quality. Worked examples are thorough and give a good entry level understanding to the language. Looking forward to what the rest of this specialisation has to offer

It is a very gentle introduction into python but it provides a useful starting point for someone who hasn't done any programming before. The presenter is good explains concepts very clearly.

Brilliant!!! The way the professor teaches the course is so interesting and easy-understanding!!! I would like to take more courses in order to "communicate" with the professor continuously!

While I have had some background in using Python, I never formally learned it so I'm starting from the beginning. This course is slow enough for beginners and a great start to learning more.

Great start for people with no programming experience. I have experience but never learned formally and so watched the videos accelerated and picked up some fundamentals that I was missing.

Thanks. I have learned basics of Python programming via this course. Unfortunately, to continue this course is not free. In my region to pay for online courses is not possible for this time.

Cool course if you have little or no experience in programming. If you already know other programming languages (I know R) is also a good starting point despite the "slow pace" of the course

Solid, entertaining intro to programming and Python. Dr. Chuck does a good job of not overwhelming in the first course while giving enough info to get us started on the road to programming.
