Excellent for beginners like me. Although, I do wish that there were more examples and explanations per topic, more exercises per topic, and more projects per topic to really drive home the material.

Dr. Chuck is a natural teacher- personable, clear, thorough, and helpful even through a pre recorded video. Lessons are easy to follow and hands-on activities actually require you to think outside the box and solve problems. I'm very excited to continue this series.

Great course! I started with zero experience in programming and feel like it was broken down enough for me to keep up and get a good understanding of each concept. Dr. Chuck is engaging and makes it fun to learn these very basics. Looking forward to more courses!

I think that this course is a must for people that have never learned or have a little knowledge about Python. The flow of the lectures and the friendly attitude of the instructor makes you sit infront of the computer for hours and not want to take a break.

I had not programmed in years. I took this course and in less than a week, I was reliving my youth in my programming years. I guess it's kind of like riding a bike. You never forget. But having a good class like this one as a refresher sure makes it easier.

I really liked Dr Severance. He kept my interest and didn't drone on about things....had a great personality and didn't assume you knew everything he has learned throughout his entire career. He has made me want to take the entire specialization. Great Job!

Regardless of its simplicity, caused by nothing else but the fact that this is a course meant to build a fundamental knowledge of the language, the course never gets boring. This is by virtue of Dr Chuck's immense talent and skill for teaching.

Course explains everything in a well defined manner and it's so easy to understand but challenging enough to have you think on your own. Very impressive. Hope there are more courses like this for more advanced subjects.

A great course to start learning the Python programming language ! I recommend it to anyone who wants to start learning programming. And most importantly - do not give up if it is difficult. And then you will succeed.

It is a well-paced course that is enticing for those who are just delving into programming as a subject and to the veterans out there looking for a quick introduction to Python and its coherent simplicity and power.

This course is good for beginners who want to learn python in an interactive way. The initial weeks are just to get familiar and installation but exercise in week 5,6,7 will really help to get initial confidence.

The first part of the course is very easy simple to follow along. The videos had all the material explained very well and since it was a self paced course it was very easy to follow along.
