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.

Very didactic. I took programming back in school (1975) and learned Fortran. I just needed some refreshers to get back in the mood and this course did it.

A bit slow if you already know other languages but the teacher is nice and I guess that for people who have no idea about programming it is a good lecture
