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 very basic. So for guys who are new into programming, this is the perfect course. For those who already have a certain amount of knowledge might not find this course useful.

Dr. Chuck(Charles R. Severance) is one of the best English-language teachers that I've learned from. I really want to suggest him and his courses to anyboy who interested in IT. Thank you!

A good introduction to the basics of Python3. This is class 1 of 5 in the Python specialization I am looking into. The assignments were straight-forward and aligned with what was taught.

Great Experience. Could be frustrating at times, since the grader wants the code "Exactly", but I guess this makes the studying tougher and thus better. Overall very satisfying experience.

Wonderful material, easy to go along with but the assignments get progressively harder and tricker. Very much recommend for anyone learning to code or wanting to know the basics of python.

It's interesting and logically clear to help get familiar with this language in a short time.

A simple and easy to follow guide to Python. Very informative to a beginner such as myself. It's a lot easier to learn Python through this course rather than on the Python.org site itself.

Definitely recommended. I have no prior coding or programming knowledge but the course is effective in making one understand the language. Would look forward to the 2nd course.

Thank you :)

I love how this course contextualizes each programming concept, instead of presenting it in a vacuum as other programming MOOCs I've attempted have done. I'm very thankful for this course.

The instructor teaches you "why and how" very well, so he makes it easy to understand. Some subjects is now clearer to me even if I think I already knew them. I really enjoyed the course.
