Easy to follow and not boring. The instructor breaks things down in simple form. The Coursera platform is sometimes a bit quirky but otherwise the content in this course I thought was quite excellent.

Excellent, although, even without having any programming experience except some Visual Basic at school about ten years ago, in my opinion the course could have bee more difficult and the pace quicker.

Great for learning the basics of the Python Programming Language.

Would have been more beneficial if the Python Data Structures course was also available for free.

Very simple and easy to learn, especially when you have learnt other coding language. I learned this after work every day, and I used 3 days to finish this course.

Great course. Great instruction. I am glad that I took it. It is not incredibly overwhelming; nor is it handed to you. It is paced quite well. On to the next one!
