On this Teacher's Day (5th Sep in India), I must say Dr. Chuck is one of the best teachers I've learned. It is so easy to follow the course and I am able to do all the exercises quite easily. Thanks Dr. Chuck.

Excellent Course. Professor Charles Severance was very helpful in telling us what we needed to know and how to do it. I'm happy to have taken this course, and recommend it to others who want to explore python.

Really gentle intro into Python and programming starting with Hello World and going through conditionals and loops. Enjoyed the way the instructor explained concepts to help the student think like the machine.

The content includes basic knowledge of python and skills. With some programming backgroud, it is easy to pick up python after watching these courses videos and finishing the assignments. It's helpful. Thanks.

One of the best online courses I have done -mostly as a refresher so I ran through the whole thing in 2 days (about 4h of work) but it got me interested in completing the whole series within a couple of weeks.

Very helpful curse to make you understand how to write a code not just do the code, with great support material when things gets hard you just have to read and watch videos again and you can solve the curse.

Very good for starting with the basics and getting hands on with some nice assignments with nice videos. One thing to note is the instructor should spend less time in comparing python to a human and 'talking'

Excellent materials (lecture and print) and pacing. The exercises were good at applying what we studied without just repeating what we had seen. Thank you for the intro. I'm looking forward to the next steps.
