Ratings and Reviews for Python Basics

good

It's funny, it's easy, it's the perfect course to start learning python!

This was an excellent first course in Python. I found the 2 primary lecturers (Profs. Reznick and Oney) to be clear in their instruction. The examples and exercises were well thought out and took an incremental approach: that is, exercises started with "regurgitating" the new material that was presented and then extended it (and prior material) in subsequent exercises. The Runestone "textbook" was an excellent environment in which to read, program and experiment. In general, I thought the course material was coherent for a first course, but the Turtle section seemed a bit out of place. I really appreciated Prof Reznick's sense of humor, although I can understand that others might find it ap-PAUL-ing. Still, he comes across as a caring prof, whose tone of voice conveys "expert programmer" and sense of humor "sweet, caring guy." Al in all, not a bad combination. (yes, "expert programmer" is a kind way of saying "total MIT nerd," which in this context, is the highest of praise!)

Verify good for beginners! recommended!

Can't un enroll from this course

A really well constructed course. With not too much time dedicated to it, I was able to grasp the key fundamentals in Python. I look forward to the next course.

Great course, actually the best online course I've ever had!

Very practical

thank you
