A well-designed course, especially for the beginners, who are really enthusiastic and passionate about programming. It really helps you to learn from scratch and it does not require any prerequisites.

Solid introductory course with good quizzes / assignments. Really like how assignments require you to combine multiple items you have not seen together before. Keeps you on your toes!

Excellent introduction to Python and well suited for people who have not done any programming before. The pace might appear a little slow for people who already know some programming.

I really feel like I have a solid foundation after this course. There is still a lot to learn, but I definitely know more now than I did before! (And I'm sure that was the main point)

Proffersor Charles communicates an intro to programming for non-programmers in a very gentle and anxiety/fear free style. Making clear that anyone can learn. Which is absolutely true.

This course gets full stars because of the content and because of Professor. He made this course really interesting than what it would have become if we had to just study from a book.
