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.

Excellent, although, even without having any programming experience except some Visual Basic at school about ten years ago, in my opinion the course could have bee more difficult and the pace quicker.

Extremely acessible course. It contains full guide to install python on your computer and even offers a built-in python compiler in a website for those who can't have a computer at the moment. Certainly helped me to fix the basics, so I can thrive in python programing.

Very good. If you're already into Python programming it is way to easy but it's always good to refresh all that basic knowledge which is important to move forward to more complicated stuff. If you're completely new to programming, it is an excellent way to get started.

El curso es muy fácil de usar y de entender sobre todo por que usa herramientas externas. Puedes acomodar el curso a tus tiempos y horarios y no es tan largo como parece ya que lo acabas rápido. El maestro conoce muy bien el tema, es gracioso y tiene mucha experiencia.

The course is great for learning the basics of programming (through Python). Even somebody who has absolutely no experience in the subject can learn and complete the course very comfortably. The instructor is a very nice, friendly person who is very easy to learn from.

Totally interesting, from the systematically curated content to the clarity of each minute element delivered by the instructor. And as name suggests, it is well-suited for anybody who wishes to learn programming as it assumes hardly any previous programming experience.

Very beginner friendly course. I have a bit of python experience through other MOOCs. This course kept my attention and made me want to finish the course. If you have prior experience, you should aim to finish the course within a week. The bonus videos were also great.

It's really a great course for the beginners who want to learn python but dont know how. I thought it would be difficult for me but actually the professor was so great that i found it very enjoyable and i learned basic ideas about python through the little assignments.

The course is designed a way, that keeps your interest and make you to come back.

Even if you don't know any programming language, it teaches in way that you will learn easily.

This language is getting hot in market, still Coursera provide for free, thanks a lot Coursera

Dr. Chuck teaches the basics of python in an interesting way. This is done while solving real life programming problem with give a direct applicability of programming in real life and meaningfully showcase the power of python language.

I love the class.

Thanks Dr. Chuck!

This is a well-taught introductory course. The course instructor, Dr. Chuck is a very engaging teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed taking this course. If you have a background in programming in another language, it should be possible to go through this course pretty quickly.

I started with no previous experience at all in Python (though some in R), and now feel pretty good that I can find my way through most basic tasks. Dr. Chuck is such a good teacher and I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn or refresh their Python!

As a 2 time Python course drop-out, to have completed the 7 weeks in a matter of 6 days, I feel validated and have more or less made it a goal to hopefully meet the man that was able to break through this REALLY thick skull of mine, and help me comprehend programming!

This is just the tip of the iceburg. I felt this course clearafied basic information I was lacking for the Harvard CS50x course and was in over my head. I will digest the information form what I learned here and hope to feel more confident and becone more productive.

I really reccomend this course to people that have very little to no knowledge about python or other programming languages. It is a great start because it also teaches the basics of programming and how you are supposed to approach problem-solving when writing a code.

It was a great experience with Charles sir. Even though I was new to python but I did not find any difficulty in learning. I can surely say that one do not need any prior knowledge of programming to start this course. I really enjoyed the course. THANKS TO CHARLES SIR

My first thought is whether I am able to acquire basic skills using phyton. As I go through the learning process (as the instructor clearly explained all the reasoning in coding phyton), I find it interesting to explore, learn more about phyton and acquire the skills.

I love Dr Chuck. Have done many of his courses and each of them is so enjoyable. I knew the course material well already but I finished it anyway because he is the instructor. I knew he'd make the experience valuable. I can't thank him enough for all that I've learnt.

Thanks!

A very beginners-friendly course on programming with Python.

I was really encouraged & inspired by the knowledge of programming, coding, problem-solving with computational language.

Thanks! To Open-mindedness, curiosity, and devotion of the responsible professor!

A really exceptional course, I really recommend anyone who is just starting to ode and have no coding background. This is just the course for you. Also anyone with prior knowledge can really just brush up their skills and memory on Python through this. I did the same.
