Really great course! I'm really enjoying it, thank's a lot Dr. Chuck!!!!
very informative, flexible phase.
Wonderfully composed and paced course. Dr. Severance does a fantastic job of scaling technical descriptions from basic terminology up to the specific programming jargon. The assignments are well detailed, explained, and the technology in the course works well. The book is free and also a treat because it ties so nicely back into the course materials making is probably the best learning Python book available today based on what I've seen. Thank you for continuing to support this program. It is FANTASTIC.
Espectacular!
Dr. Chuck is simply an amazing teacher!
It is as stated: Programming for Everybody (who hasnt had any expsoure to programming). If you dont know about computers and you dont know about programming, this course is for you.
On the other hand: if you do have a basic understanding of computers and/or programming, than this may no be the right course for you: The beginning is too slow - the stuff about CPUs & memory etc. is really for people who dont know about computers at all. The overall pace is too slow.
My suggestion would be to
a) shorten the introductiory part
b) increase lurning-curve & depth
c) add more complex assignments -> maybe as "bonus assignments"
Very good introduction.
The course materials such as the lecture videos, slides , assignments and pdf helped me to grasp and implement the basics of Python very well. I have recommended this course to my colleagues who are interested in learning Python
It's a great course for beginners! I enjoyed it a bunch.
