I completed the course in about three days. I've never programmed before to the learning curve was excruciating but nonetheless I managed to get through and finally get my python feet wet so to speak.

Very good introduction to basic programming. Very easy for beginners in python who have already some programming background - but still extremely useful to quickly and efficiently learn python basics.

Great introductory level course that starts at the most basic levels. I had prior experience with C++ and breezed through the course in slightly more than a week.

Basics are perfect. Started off very well. By the time the last chapter had come, I feel that too much was spread into the last chapter. It could be split into 2.

Great course. For someone who knows a little programming, this course only took 12 hours. But it was a great intro. Going to move on the intermediate course now.

Dr. Chuck was a great instructor who used meaningful examples to illustrate the material. His delivery style was engaging for what could have been dry material.

Very good, some slight errors concerning the translations between Python 2 vs. Python 3. But other than that, very informative and great notes for learning code.

Somebody like me without any tech background was very challenging, but compared to other course that I tried, it was easiest course I believe. Thank you so much!
