It's an amazing course, even for beginner's who barely had any knowledge about programming. It includes exercises that teach you step-wise know how and a logical flow towards understanding python

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.

Dr Charles Severance is clear, accessible and relatable in his approach to teaching.

This course will guide you from basic principles to running your very own simple python scripts.

While I was already familiar with Python, I had not had the opportunity to learn it in an organized environment. If you are in the same situation as I was, this course is for you.

Extremely accessible class. If you haven't seen programming before, this is appropriate. If you're proficient in other programming languages, you can speed through this in a day.

Very good course. The professor is very clear and explains the concepts in a simple and complete way. I think it would be ok to add some extra examples or assignments about loops.

这门课非常基础,适合零基础的同学入门用。这门课一共7周内容,前两周都是在讲为啥要学这为啥要学那等等,以及扫盲,真正关于python的编程教学从第三周才开始。课程视频里老师讲的非常细致,每个点都会讲透的那种,非常适合对编程一无所知的同学。每周作业基本上都会配着视频教学,一开始手把手教,后面会逐渐只教一个框架,剩下的自己思考,这种方式可以说是非常为学生着想了。

It helps me to think like a computer: sequence. It will surely help me to approach things in a more diverse style. I like the instructor, his light humor, and his teaching method.
