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.

Very good introduction to basic programming. Very easy for beginners in python who have already some programming background - but still extremely useful to quickly and efficiently learn python basics.

The instructor is very engaging and the course is thought in a masterful way. While the amount of content is admittedly underwhelming I can easily recommend this course as an excellent starting point for python.

Excellent introduction into Python. I've particularly enjoyed Dr Chuck's style - very engaging! Also try reading the free book 'Python for Everybody', which goes alongside the course, to make the most out of it.

Best online course for the beginners. It will slowly take down to the deep level. That's why you did not realize how complex it is gonna be. It will surely motivate you to take the next course like it did to me.

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...

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.

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.
