The course is a very good option if you don't have any prior knowledge in Python programming. The Bonus material was good (inspirational). Didn't seemed boring at any point.

A great beginner's course, to brush up programming skills for those who had some prior knowledge of other languages, and also a great foundation course for absolute beginners.

Actually, I think this course is over easy. I don't think a person with normal intellect need 7 weeks to finish this course. It just took me like 3 days to finish this course.
