It's excellent for a programming beginner. The explanations on how a programming language works and the introductory commands helped me to install, understand, and really deal with python on my PC.

I used python for the first time in this course. Dr. Severance broke everything down to make it seem a lot less daunting and confusing. The worked assignments and exercises helped a great deal too.

The instructor, Mr. Severance has done an excellent job in explaining the basics of python and it is mostly video based rather than too much of textual matter, which makes it even more interesting.

This course is pretty awesome for someone who is new to python & want to learn some basic syntax & semantics of it. It's not the full course, with advanced topics, but is enough to get you started.

This was an excellent course. Always informative, sometimes testing, but with a bit of hard work (and computational thinking) it is a great introduction to Python. Plus Prof Severance is excellent.

This course is helpful for beginners for learning python. It teaches us the syntax, how to use float, else if and conditional statement. The interesting part was the quiz, it was not at all boring.
