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.

Mr Severance is one of the best instructors I have come across so far. His teaching seems effortless and the course content was just right. It included all that a beginner should know and the exercises were fun.

it is a great course for one who has some knowledge about programming but didn't go further into it and wants to restart.

I didn't like the C/C++ syntax so left programming at an early stage but python is love...

Excellent, Lecture videos were broken into small parts whereby it's easy to understand and digest. Assessment given were relevant to what was taught for each segment. Navigating around course contents were easy.

The instructor is very informative and is very good at explaining the basics of Python to a complete novice.

The coding examinations are actually quite challenging, allowing you to put your knowledge to the test.

A very interesting course that teaches you basics of data structures and lets you build on that and explore. The instructor explains the concepts in a very lucid way, which lets us grasp the concepts right away.

Very powerful and good teacher, really good. Very easy explanations, very deep knowledge. Self-confidence. Great in few words. If you want to start to learn Python, that's the course and that's the teacher. Sure

This is a well built course for people who know nothing or just a little bit about the programming on python. Dr. Severance explains everything quite simple and understandable sometimes using some cool examples.

Prof. Severance has made learning Python easy and fun! Two thumbs up. Hats off to him for taking time to write a book on Python Programming and making it available for everyone - free. Thank you Prof. Severance.

This course if very well presented for both individuals that are new to programming and those that have been away from programming for a few years that need a refresher before moving on to more complex programs.

Very nice course, but very simple for people that already has experience in programming (I have a lot of experience in VBA and Matlab, although none in Python). I guess the next courses will be more challenging.

Great for beginners. Helps to know anything about programming, even in a different language because some concepts can be confusing the first time you see them. Overall, very useful and will continue the series.

This has been the best course I have undertaken and enjoyed. Many thanks to my esteemed Professor Severance who made the concepts quite easy to understand and follow.

I might give Slytherin a chance after this:)

I really liked the course. I have seen most of the topics in other software and in another programming language. Continuing with the courses will be interesting. Thank you very much for the quality of teaching.

I enjoyed this course so much! The instructor is amazing & makes the language easy to understand. Charles Severance (a.k.a. Dr. Chuck) makes you feel very motivated. There are some references to Harry Potter 😂
