This course would be a good material for the very beginning Python learner, and it tells us the basic functions of Python as a very popular programming language.

Excellent introduction to a new programming language. I learning C/C++ 20 years ago, and find Python much easier to understand and use, and better for beginners.

Good intro, but would like more clarity in how to finish last assignment. The text was not informative and should provide a better template of how to get it done

The course is fun and challenging at the same time. I have shared this already with my co-faculty and students, hoping they'll have the same experience as I had.

This course is very excellent, and it gives you the basic knowledge of computers not only the methods to program. Moreover, it is also suitable for the newcomer.

The instructor needs to polish some examples, and I think a bit more computer science terminology wouldn't hurt. But overall it was a nice introduction to Python
