It is initially difficult to follow any course regularly on any online teaching website. I have tried studying various courses on coursera before but I usually ended up in leaving the course. This is the first course I completed and I am really happy. Professor has really put lot of effort in teaching the course and also tried to make it fun. Thumbs up to Professor Charles Severance! However this course is really meant for someone who was never exposed to programming. As I have had some exposure, I increased the playback speed to 1.5x (So thumbs up to Coursera as well ! )

This course is a great start for learning programming in python. Its easy for everyone to learn as no prior knowledge is required.
Great introduction to python for those with no exposure to programming in the past.
the last exercise is bugged (5.2 is supposed to be 5.1)
Help Ful video
Good basic course for input/output in Python - looking forward to progressing with future courses and seeing how far I can improve my skills with Dr Chuck's help! Thanks for setting up this course and looking after the students
Very good course, professor, slides, interviews ..... everything was excelent. Thanks alot
Very disarming lectures that don't talk down to you at all. Highly recommended if you haven't needed to program in a while. It very quickly gets you back into the swing of things. Doesn't get into the weeds at all, nice overview.
For folks that have never programmed this class does a really good job of explaining the basics in very understandable terms. wish it had a way to advance past basics into syntax for those that understand the basics.
It was really useful and it was really for a beginner. Now i can explore more in Python. Assignments were useful.
