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.

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.

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.

Great instructor with simple yet powerful explanations. This course is great for people who have no prior programming experience. Programmers will find this as an easy entry point to start learning python.

Easy to understand lectures. I found the coursework easy to achieve but frustrating trying to match the expected results. Overall I think it is a good start for anybody who has no knowledge of programming.
