Well taught, assignemnts are just right in complexity, its hard enough to no be easy and but not to be frustrating and tests challange your knowledge enough for it to be rewarding to complete with 80%

Great for a fundamental course. I have to admit that I had learnt python a few years back and was using this as a practice and revision course. But I learnt a lot more which I can add to my knowledge.

Nice flow of the topics. Clear explanations. More examples or a booklet with exercises and examples would be a nice complement.

This is a great course for beginners . If you can spend more time after the second week, you will get best out of the course .

This course definitely clears all the basics of python, but, at times, the questions felt way too straightforward and easy..

Very good balance between giving clues and leaving the student figure out the solution. A good introduction to programming.

Nice intro, went at a good pace. The assignments were set at a good level: not too easy not too hard.
