Easy to follow and not boring. The instructor breaks things down in simple form. The Coursera platform is sometimes a bit quirky but otherwise the content in this course I thought was quite excellent.

Great introduction to Python and programming as a whole. Everything is broken down making it easy to understand. Had zero programming experience before and this class made it easy and fun to get into.

This course has certainly introduced me to the world of programming, I certainly did not think it would be this easy to grasp, in such a short space of time.

great intro to Python. Professor is great at easing you into the language and logic behind all the "lingo." Will work to complete the entire specialization.

Excellent course, great teacher, a bit too easy i would say. I would have preferred to dive in directly in Python. However, i cannot give less than 5 stars.
