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 :-)

This course is a great introduction to python. The instructor is awesome! He does not make learning programming in python intimidating for a 'newbie'. I've enjoyed learning python thus far.

I enjoyed learning Python for everybody thoroughly from Professor Charles. Thank you! Also, the book: Python for Informatics has been a great help to me in understanding Python much better.

It is a easy introduction to pythons. I think it is for the very beginner, who will not work as a programmer in the future. I attend this course because i want to use it in my study of law.

Had a really great learning experience, this course is a very good point to start for people who have no experience in programming, almost every concept is explained in detail from scratch.

Good course for beginners who has no experience in programming. An introduction to python and basic programming concepts. I think it is too easy for someone with a programming background.

Wonderful, easy to understand ! I have tried codeacademy and found this course on coursera more structured and interesting. Professor Severance is humorous and explained everything clearly.

I had zero experience and I wanted to break into programming in the worst way. This course not only made me feel like it was possible, but it also made me excited to continue learning. !!!!

Brilliant! Simplified and very easy to understand.

I sat through two semester of C++ lectures and learnt very little, but this short course taught me a lot of concepts and how to apply them.

Awesome class. Way better than the other intro programming courses I have seen. I feel like I'm actually learning something and I enjoy the class. (something difficult with online classes).

Overall is a very good start up course to learn the very basics of Python. It took me a really small amount of time to finish it, but I was already very familiar with the basics of Python.

It was amazing course to build your base for python programming. What I particularly like about this course was the programming assignments, they were really tricky but a lot fun to solve.
