Extremely basic but Dr. Chuck is so interesting that you never get bored. You can pass the course in a few days with minimum or even no programming knowledge. It's a good starting point for beginners.

Very good course for beginning Python students. My only issue is that I was hoping to get some sense of how Python can interact with the web, be used within website, etc. But perhaps that's a more complex topic that appropriate for this beginning step

I absolutely enjoyed this course. I rushed through it but I still found it informative and helpful. It gave me a good idea as to how the Python programming language works. The videos were short and sweet. Looking forward to the next part of this series.

This course makes me overcome the fear of learning programming. The lecturer does know the best way to teach and explain key points of each chapter. For people considering learning Python with little knowledge, you should definitely enroll this course.

If you want a fast "on ramp" to programming, in general, and Python in particular, then this is the course for you. Dr. Chuck makes the content extremely easy to grasp and there are numerous, well integrated resources that will help get you up-to-speed.

I had done some python before, but I thought I should start at the start. Dr Chuck is an engaging teacher, who doesn't assume any knowledge and takes things at a good pace, not too slow but not too fast. I'm looking forward to doing more of his courses.

I am not new to programming, but I am extremely rusty. I loved this course and I truly felt like Professor Chuck was teaching me live (of course with the ability to pause and rewind :) ). I will start the remaining courses in this series immediately.

A very well-paced class took somewhat overwhelming topics (at first) and made them easy to understand. I love Professor Severance's enthusiasm; you can see he loves teaching computer science! Looking forward to finishing the rest of the specialization!

The course gives an introduction to programming to a layman. It starts of very well with good set of examples about computers, processing etc, and then builds on to it and starts the programming part without rushing anything. Recommended for beginners.

I really enjoyed this course and the instructors teaching style. Being able to catch still pictures of the slides for my notes was very helpful. Also, being able to watch videos of similar assignments was very helpful when I was stuck on an assignment.

The Lecturer is so enthusiastic. His enthusiasm is so contagious. The way he explains each topic is really basic and very understandable. If you're looking to start learning about coding as a beginner (not knowing anything), this is the course for you.

Great introduction to Python and programming as a whole. Everything is broken down making it easy to understand.

I just wish that there were more sample homework before the exercises so students could see how the lessons are applied to actual problems.
