The course is well balanced. There are videos that explain the concepts very clearly and there are a lot of exercises that challenge your skill. A must-do course for beginners in python.

The videos are very helpful for beginners. All the examples given and the diagrammatic representations of the execution of the code are so apt for anyone to understand what the logic is.

Amazing!

Now I get closer to Python lol, with still practice, and hope there will be more interactive directions especially for assignments (some of them are a little challenging for me)

Good quality course given by a pedagogic and charismatic teacher!

It is too easy for someone who already knows another coding language, but I understand that it is intended for beginners.

This course is really easy to understand for those who does not have basis in informatics at all. The free book is also quite pragmatic.Professor Chuck is good at delivering information!

Very easy to follow, and fun to do. Instructor inspired me to expand skillset with my RaspberryPi with the use of virtual network computing from iOS to the Pi. Onward and upward. Thanks!
