Great course, i really enjoyed it and can recommend this to almost everyone - even to people that aren't into programming (yet). This was the 4th online course I took and is the 'largest so far' ;)

Thank you for providing such excellent content!

if you're into computer coding and programming you should definitely think about taking this course. It will help you get a better understanding on how to write programs using Python and understanding how the computer interprets the information.

Very accessible and the prof made the material very easy to understand. I spent several weeks trying to learn from Youtube channels and this was the best class I was able to take. I am now signing up for the next classes. Thanks for the help.

It is a very good course for beginners as very basic python is taught in this course. Dr. Chuck is really good professor. Also, bonus videos were quite informative and we could look at the ideas through which some people started great platforms.

This course is easy to understand and simple. It's a little slow going at first but once it picks up I felt as though the information was well presented and I liked referring back to the videos if I was having issues with the graded assignments.

Is a great course to start with Python, they teach you the first elements, all the context, iterations, conditionals... I think is a great tool to get started, also the teacher had great examples to make his points clear and really good videos.

I very much enjoyed the course. And although I had no background in programming, I was able to follow the instructions and do the required coursework. The explanations each week were very good and understandable! I can only recommend the course.

I'm a mid-30s sales professional looking to pick up new skills. This was fun. I'm a little fuzzy on the big picture of what I can use python to do in my work, but I know I'll find an application. I'm going to continue the program to learn more.

This course is just wonderful for a newbie like me. Know nothing about programming before but still be able to catch up with the course and even write a bit of codes in the final assignment. I'm satisfied with what I accomplished in this course.

An amazing course that really starts in a way I could understand. I did not know anything about Python and now I can do some basics. This is a critical course to get started with and lay the foundation for all of the other courses. Thank you!

This course was absolute amazing. Professor Severance is both hilarious and so intelligent. He made learning this new language fun and beneficial. At times there were areas where I had to go re-watch one of the lessons but it was well worth it!.

Profound and accessible course to get into programming. Having learned C++ previously, I took this course to get into Python specifically and to refresh the basics. This worked great as you can do all the courses and exercises at your own speed.

I have been programing Python for a few years but I found some useful stuff in this course. The way Dr. Service explains things clears up little questions that I have had in the back of my mind for years. I would take any course that he teaches.

It's a perfect course for beginners with as it is very paced and explains everything you need to even if you have no knowledge whatsoever of programming. I really really recommend it for people who want to start navigating the programming world!

This course was very funny and very easy to complete. The professor is great and i think that his method is perfect for someone who approach a programming language for the first time. Everything is explained in simple way, with a lot of examples

ótimo curso introdutório!! bom material e boas dicas para iniciar no desenvolvimento em Python. O curso é para iniciantes, portanto faz-se necessário dar sequencia nos próximos cursos da série para conseguir desenvolver uma aplicação de verdade.

For beginners in programming is very good. For someone who have some experience with other programming languages, this first course is too much easy but has interesting things (interviews, etc.) anyway so it is not a waste of time even for then.
