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 :-)

Very helpful. the auto-grading tool needs to be adjusted for the chapter 5 question. Also the chapter 5 question is worded in a very confusing way
