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 easy to understand and the assignments properly tested our ability to apply my programming skills. I strongly recommend this course if you just want to understand the basic structure of python scripts.

Great course ... really tries to introduce programming to the novice and works hard to avoid intimidating the learner. I had great fun (though I've had prior experience with C programming) doing the course.

The pacing of the teaching was excellent! For someone who is easily frustrated by the literal nature of programming, I developed some sympathy for its binary nature in this course - that's not an easy feat.

This is an excellent course for someone who is new to programming and all the topics has been covered very nicely and illustrated easily by keeping a novice in mind. Great course to learn about programming.

I started with no prior knowledge but the course instruction walked me through from scratch adding one piece of knowledge upon another which became a solid foundation for me.

Enroll and you won't regret it.

The professor's lecture is so awesome; however, the content is adjusted to the new programming learners. I heard the extended part of the course is charged; you can purchase it if you want deeper learning.

Really enjoyed this course. It was short enough so that I didnt get overwhelmed. The professor is really good. Easy to understand which is surprising considering the amount of tea he must drink in a day.

It was a beautifully well-made course, that allowed me in an easy way to understand what is python and how you use it. It was not only a knowledge but also how you should understant it in an easy manner.

Dr. Charles Severance is able to turn a dry topic like programming and make it relatable to the average Joe. This course is definitely the first stop you should make if you want to learn about programming!

Great immersive introduction to Pyhton by Dr Charles Severance, who did a splendid job in explaining all the topics throughly and that too with fun and from time to time with a much needed sarcasm as well.

Para los que no tuvimos una formación en sistemas pero estamos interesados en aprender a programar. Este curso es perfecto ya que lo explica muy bien paso a paso. Y super importante el porqué de las cosas.

Very fundamental and suitable for non-programmers...even for non-native speakers, the language will not be an obstacle since the teacher uses an interesting and slow-paced teaching style. Think it's great.

Fantastic! Thanks Professor Severance, you are a great teacher. From an italian chemistry student that has changed the thesis into a software simulation one and need basic programming skills, Grazie mille!

Nice Course for beginners. If you have a little prior knowledge of programming in c, c++, java or other, you will love this course. If you know nothing about programming this is a nice course to start with

The course is amazing. The instructor is the absolute best. It was difficult for me to cope up at first, coming from an arts background, but the interactive videos and the discussion forum helped me a lot.
