Very good introduction to basic programming. Very easy for beginners in python who have already some programming background - but still extremely useful to quickly and efficiently learn python basics.

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.

This was a very brief and valuable introduction to Python programming and, specially for my who had limited experience in programming, it was very good to have a slow paced introduction to this new language.

Very nice course. The instructor have a really good presentation skills and could bring the subject to a really simple language.

Should improve the captions size in the videos. In my notebook it was too big.

To get an initial level of knowledge in programming, this course is simply magnificent. Easy presentation of material. All training material is provided. Over assignments sometimes you have to sit and think.

My only programming experience was a few C++ lessons on UNI years ago and probably helped me a bit here, nonetheless this was a very begginer friendly course. I had a great time learning and will keep at it.

Class was fairly trivial for someone like me who previously had six months of java under my belt. However for someone who is beginning programming will have a solid understanding of python with this course.

Muy buen orden de la información. Los recursos utilizados para aprender, también son muy buenos. Sería bueno incluir "hints" en la herramienta de evaluación de código pero igual se puede trabajar como está.

Excelente curso, donde se puede aprender los principios de programación, cómo funciona un computador y como "decirle" que haga algunas cosas. Ideal para quienes no tienen conocimiento previo de computación.

Dr. Severance explains the basics of Python very well. I was able to do the entire course in 1 week (2-3 hrs a day) with no previous programing experience. Very pleased with this course and will continue.
