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.

A little advanced with the concepts, but if you re-watch the videos and take your time with the assignments, it will help give you a greater understanding of the work in class.

Very well taught. Not exactly self explanatory as the course gives a lot of room for practicing, you can't progress if you dont practice. Overall the tutors are excellent

Course was good. In my personal opinion this was difficult and not for person with no background in programming. Instructors were good but at many places they just rushed.

Excellent course. Great for total beginners to programming. There are a few mistakes that prevent me from giving it five stars but if I could, I would give it 4.5 stars.

More explanation of reading and writing files would be appreciated. I could never get these to work so i felt I missed out on a chunk of useful material. Good otherwise

The content is very biginner friendly and easy to understand. However the audio recording quality sometimes not very good. A very good option for your 1st python class!

It's great course. I enjoyed every lecture. 4 stars just because sometimes videos and book weren't enough for me to understand so I looked for additional online help.

IT'S A GREAT COURSE SPECIALLY FOR THE BEGINEERS. IT HELPED ME A LOT AND ENHANCED MY KNOWLEDGE INT THE COMPUTER PROGRAMMING. HOWEVER THE TEST AND QUIZES ARE QUIT HARD.

Very good course for me as a beginner in Python and coding in general. I feel I'm in a good place now to dive deeper into Python and learn other languages as well.

Good start to learning programming language.

However, it teaches programming through Scratch only. Few additional lectures with C++/Python would have been an ideal.

Buen curso introductorio, a veces en los cuestionarios aparecian cosas un poco rebuscadas pero las tareas de programacion son acordes a lo enseñado en los videos.

It is a very nice course to start with, but the structure of assignments isn't that good, it should include more coding rather than completing the the given code

This was a great introducing course. I have no knowledge about programming before doing this course and I was able to understand all and I learnt a lot. Thanks!!

Good intro to basics of Python programming that doesn't waste too much time and instils some good habits. Interesting look at memory management by Python.

Sometimes a little fast to follow, but very good in general. With this introductory course, I can already start using python for some academic projects.

Good introductory course, some of the concepts were not explained very well, and I needed to seek external help. The quizzes and assignments were good.

There are some things that are questionable and very confusing on the quizzes. Wish this course was a little more updated and using more modern Python.

Good learning material I am impressed with the tricky level of question which stuck at many points.

The level hardness of the Questions are very good.
