Amazingly lucid. Instructed in such a comprehensive manner, which does not let a novice or a newcomer, wonder, as in what is happening....

Thank you so very much, Dr.Chuck and Coursera !

This course was amazing. Kudos to Dr. Chuck and Coursera for hosting it. The only improvement I could recommend would be to add more assignments/problem sets for practice of new skills.

I have experience with scripting, so most of the concepts weren't new to me. What I valued here was the Python-particular gotchas, such as indenting and adding colons to if statements.
