Ratings and Reviews for Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python)

It was very informative. I loved the way you taught us about programming.

简单易懂易入门

To be honest, I thought the course stumbled and fell short. It was too basic and slow paced. The tone was a bit immature at times, and perhaps appropriate only for a grade school level classroom--not something for working professionals. And it's certainly not mature enough or challenging enough for a university class. Even if the goal were to teach those with no programming experience, it could accomplish that while providing more content, and making the content relevant. Is the course worth the price? Hell no. If you do pay, you may feel very cheated at the end. The entire course can be reduced to 3 pages of notes. One would be better off checking into other free, online tutorials. I'm not sure about the value of the videos titled "Office Hours." They all appeared as self-promotional behavior from the professor, as if to say, "hey look how great I am making this video in Paris." They're really nothing more than that. In one video, he corners a guest speaker at a conference, who appears annoyed after a few minutes and gives the professor a polite brush-off: "other people here would like to talk with me too." After all of these videos, you will ask yourself, "okay, why did Severance make me watch that?" "What was the point?" And you'll shrug your shoulders and say, "another waste of time."

Thank you Dr.Chuck!

The course as well as the course contents are perfect. Dr. Chuck explains all the concepts really well. Whether one has done programming earlier or not, this course will give you an insight of what programming means. I would highly recommend this course to everyone who wants to learn Python. Go for it . Good Luck!

awesome

Prof Chuck has a great personality for teaching and I thoroughly enjoyed learning the basics of Python from this course. I'm excited to continue working on the next course in this series and begin building more complex programs in Python.

Great course for a beginner. Instructor and student assistants make sure that you get the basics and (most important) grasp the concepts behind the code. This is very important because next to the keywords and syntax the most crucial thing to be learned is to start "thinking" like a programmer. How to break it down to the necessary incremental steps. I personally like the combination of video lecture, on-line student notes and on-line lab. Getting Python installed locally is a breeze for Windows or Linux. Already enrolled in Course 2!!

Great introduction to Python with a very personable instructor.

The best course for beginning to learn programming.
