I loved it! Dr. Chuck is extraordinary in his explanations. A great way to start on Python programming. As a person that hasn't programmed in years it was an encouraging and educational experience :-)

Great introduction to Python and programming as a whole. Everything is broken down making it easy to understand. Had zero programming experience before and this class made it easy and fun to get into.

Its a great course especially if you are from a non programming background. The course starts from extreme basics to intermediate level. If you are already familiar with any other programming language, you might feel the course is slow but eventually you will learn python

Its a very easy course for a beginner who has zero knowledge in programming; The professor and the tutors online is amazing. You would definitely need to keep on learning with future classes from this series of Python specialisation courses to build your skills in depth!

One of the best courses to start learning to program. I have tried many times to learn to program but the material or teaching method didn't allow me to complete. But this course was complete in all regards and also it keeps one's interest in programming languages intact.

Really enjoyed it. I've messed around with some python code before but knew i needed to take a course for some basic understanding. The lectures were great, and assignments were just as great. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to begin their Python coding journey!

The course is very good at giving you explanations of how the different statements work and haves some good assignments to test your understanding of new coding functions you learn throughout the course.

highly recommended if you want to get started with python and coding

I have previous education in programming. This was a good refresher to start programming with again, especially Python - a language I'm new to. I just wish the interactive Python assignment submission tool would accept both Python 2 and 3. Otherwise, it's pretty great!

Exemplary content for beginners and for those who want to get precise and to the point knowledge about Python.... A big thanks to Prof. 'Chuck' and his interesting approach towards the subject , which enabled me to cling onto Coding , something I was hesitating to learn.
