Excellent starter course. Go Blue!
it was vey interesting
Perfect for beginners. The course is well-designed, well-paced and covers a decent amount of content in a short amount of time.
"Getting Started with Python" is a gentle and engaging introduction to the world of programming. Dr. Chuck's teaching style is friendly and clear, making even complex concepts feel approachable. The course strikes a fine balance between theory and practice, using real examples and small assignments that build confidence. For someone completely new to programming, it offers a solid foundation without overwhelming detail. The course materials — including video lectures, MCQs, and exercises — are well-paced and thoughtfully designed. The emphasis on problem-solving using loops, conditionals, and functions gives a real taste of how programming works in practice. Strengths: Excellent instructor clarity and encouragement Beginner-friendly examples Interactive assignments and peer support Minor drawbacks: The course stays at a very basic level (which is fine for starters but may feel slow for fast learners) More visuals or hands-on projects could enhance retention
