It is very suitable for a starter in programming. At first, it is very easy and fundamental. However, only if you make full understanding of the fundamental part, can you solve the problems in the following chapters! What a great course!

Very nice course, well explained how python is 'thinking', so you really understand how the program is working if these are your first steps. One of the best thing is, that you have to write your own code and the end of the each chapter.

pretty easy and clearly to get start with a program even you never try this before, especially , there are a lot of bonus that can expand your horizon about python or even the computer science. So, take a try if you never do programming.

Excellent! Even if it is an introductory course to programming in python, examples and exercises are a great challenge. Instructor teaches incredibly and invites to learn more as much programming as python language. Thank you very much.

Thanks to Dr.Charles Severance for his great method of teaching that let people even without strong background on coding pick up the lessons easily.

If you are new on coding, here is the best start without any fear of coding or confusion.

Great first course to start programming for the first time or to familiarize yourself with Python if you have experience. For the latter it will be a quick review (fun and interactive) and it will get you started on the syntax in Python.

I really learn a lot from this course. The professor declare those conceptions in a very detailed way. Although I have learned C++ before,I still get a lot and have a better understanding in programming. Next I will learn data structure.

Great introduction to python. Good for everyone that never programmed before. And good for everyone that wants to learn the basic syntax of python. Beginners need 2-4 hours per week. Students with prior experience need 30-60min per week.

Really good course for a person who is new to programming although writing assignments with the autograder is a bit irritating as it catches mistakes like an extra space or small and capital so make sure u take care of these small issues

Muy buen curso para empezar a aprender de Python y programación en general. El profesor es muy carismático y explica de una manera senzilla. Sigue un ritmo bueno, aunque para algunos puede ser lento. El curso del material está muy bien.

This was recommended to me after an IT course at my university. We received a brief overview of Python, and I asked my professor for additional learning material. This course satisfied my curiosity and taught me great, pracitcal skills!
