Gives an easy entry into python, particularly for those with limited programming experience. I had some programming experience, although I never had any formal training in it, and found this course a breeze, and finished it within 2 days.

Very nice course for beginners in programming. The instructor presents the course with at most clarity , from basics and with bit of humor. The energy with which the instructor teaches is contagious. All bonus videos are extra motivation.

Awesome course! Learned a lot and was able to take it all in at my own pace. Highly recommend to anyone who is interested in learning python. Great for beginners, not too complicated or hard to understand but you learn a lot and apply it!

The course is very detailed and helps a beginner or someone who is returning to programming after a break equally. I loved that each chapter had great examples and tests soon after to be able to recollect and apply all the learning. Thank

This course has just made me hungry for more , most informative and proper step by step instruction ensures that if applied properly the student has a basic understanding of how powerful a tool python can be in ones day to day operations

Thank you so much for this course. I have learnt the hard way with the assessments I did in this course. The person who helped me with the last assessment (5.2) is very patience and has provided me with the required help and attention.

I gain too much knowledge from Dr.chuck and I got fundamental knowledge of python from him and overall experience is very good as well as code submission and quiz competition, I want to continue and master the knowledge of python course.

I love it how Chuck helps us understand not only the coding essentials, but also how our programs interact with the environment (hardware and software), aiming at not just "passing the subject", but really learning the material.

Congrats!

its excellent but course era courses needs to improve certificate generation process as it becomes confusing when some things are not done as required proper instructions should be given and ease should be there in certificate generation

Me fue genial en el curso, a pesar de que entre sin conocer mucho de python sali aprendiendo más de lo que pense y sobre el instructor dejaba todo en claro en los pocos minutos que enseaba. Muy recomendado el curso para los principiantes

Initially, the format of this course was slow and sometimes tedious. But as I advanced, I realized that they were applying a methodology that seeks to excite the student and complement in every way a transversal learning. I recommend it.
