Coming in with nearly zero background with computers other than the basics, it was quite easy to grasp. Some things just take some time to think through so don't feel rushed.

The course was designed very well for the beginners and it would be really helpful if some advanced techniques are also included in the course, but very well designed course.

The Professor is very humourous. But his teaching methodology is very efficient. I have learnt the basics of Python programming in a very short time but very interesting way.

Professor Charles Severance is excellent at what he is doing.

He can make even people new to coding or even general computer science concepts understand what he is teaching :)
