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.

Excellent, although, even without having any programming experience except some Visual Basic at school about ten years ago, in my opinion the course could have bee more difficult and the pace quicker.

It is an excellent course for beginners to understand what is Python. Dr Chuck is a wonderful lecturer to make the class more fun and he tries to use simple examples to explain abstract concepts from Python. I enjoy it a lot.

This is really the best course that I have found yet for a complete beginner - I am pretty sure that this course can teach the fundamentals of Python programming to someone who just recently learned how to turn on a computer.

It was very informative and helped me to clear all my doubts and make the Python basics base Stronger with loops, conditional statements, and all the interesting Assignments.

Looking forward to the next part - data structures!

Really well done. I appreciated the humor sprinkled in. I felt as I did when I was actually sitting in my college classes. I know it's an online course, but Professor Severance really made it feel like I was in his classroom.

It is a good course for begineers. I recommend that , if you are going for this course , you should complete it as soon as possible. Because it does not cover all the aspects of python. Its basic python syntax and semantics.

This was a great intro class to learning python. I was impressed by the instructor, and how he was able to break down each concept to the basics so that someone who is new to computer science has an opportunity to learn well.

Excellent course to get acquainted with Python's syntax and essential structures. It is truly a class for all: from strict beginning beginners more experienced programmers looking to refresh base concepts in a Python context.

This course has been taught exceptionally well mainly for people without programming background.

Exercises were moderate. The lecture videos are helpful to get started with Python. Dr.Chuck videos are truly inspiring to learn.

The videos provide clear instructions about how to start python programs and essential information related to the program. I am also attracted by the teaching style of Dr. Charles, because he is both intelligent and humorous.

It's a decent course, good for starters with no background in programming. Course instructor is great, he teaches everything from basics. You'll enjoy this course if you are looking forward to learn Python from the beginning.

great and easy to understand. Finished it within a week if you really get into it. Recommended for beginner! It might take you slighter longer, but if you are really into it you can finish it faster then the recommended time.

The course was very productive in terms that it gave some strong basis of what coding is. I was an absolutely beginner before taking this course. Special thanks to professor Charles Severance because his energy is contagious.

Approach of teaching was awesome! It also brings some relaxation with the office hour videos. By the way, I like and enjoyed your interview with Pooja, the Piazza founder and that of Guido van Rossum. Big Thanks to Dr. Chuck!

Dr Severance is really an amazing teacher - he conveys rather complicated information in an easy to digest format. Also, what a bad ass for dedicating so much of his personal time for a free class. So very much appreciated.

Thank you for your great lecture, Dr. Chunk. This was my first class for computer science and I hope that I will be able to pass these all courses in programming for everybody. I really appreciated your help. God bless you :)

Brilliant course. Best suited for people with little programming exposure.

I know programming so completed the courses with 1.5 or sometimes 2X speeds.

Still worth going though as this is how you learn new programming language

Very satisfied. Highly recommended!

I am good with PHP and learning Python has been pretty easy, I have learned Python from several other classes, but this course taught me some things that I stumble on because of my knowledge with PHP. They are different. LOL
