Very good instruction lectures for those with no programming background. A bit simple for those who understand programming already. Breeze through it if you can!

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

I have tried other Python courses and was lost early on. I was able to keep up with this and work my way through difficulties. Not too easy, but not impossible.

I started to learn from basics, the first module pretty much covers up all the basic things to be learned in python. Very much excited to learn the next module.
