Abdul UniboThis course saved me! I remember these lines from Dr. Chuck "..wait untill chapter 6 or 7 then pyhton will make sense to you, from confuse, confuse.. to ohh this is great" I come from non-coding background and due to my work requirement I needed to... -
Mr. Severance not only explained the working principle of computers, data application logic and python formulas in the simplest language. The course is very friendly to non-computer major beginners like me. I do appreciated his contribution.
But also he exercises in the course are very practical, and the discussion after class also allowed me to learn a lot of more convenient solutions, which greatly inspired me.
Sooooo much thanks to him! Fully respect !!! -
Learn while you are young enough to use the code in your every day life. I really enjoy this course. The instructions are clear and thought provoking. I had to write ever code example that Chuck gave during the instructions. I also had to go to the python website and reinforce what I was learning.. Sometimes stuff just doesn't sink in.
All in All this is probably the best self paced course around, BUT you have to do the homework. -
The best online tutor I've ever had. It is my experience that an online course is a great advantage. You can listen to the material (the videos) over and over again. if you wonder of at a certain point, you can watch the video again without anyone getting annoyed. You can keep going until the penny drops.

Python for Everybody is an excellent course with an excellent instructor Dr. Charles R. Severance. I have followed closely all exercises which made me knowledgeable in understanding Python code as well as inspired me to learn more. Thank you very much Dr. Charles. You are a 10 star instructor.

This is an introductory course. There is some material that is only covered in an outline fashion. The exercises are good to reinforce the learning. If you are stuck, look in the discussion area as most questions have already been asked and answered. Highly recommended.

Excelent professor, master of teaching, useful, fun, interesting, amazing. The lectures are clearly, examples too. I'm no good at english understanding and, instead of that, I do understand. Thanks for all. I strongly recommend this course.

Andrew Griffin completed this course, spending 4 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be medium.
Great course with really good explanations of the basics for Python programming. I would definitely recommend that anyone considering taking a programming course should take this course first. While you start from the bare bones basics as you progress through the course you are quickly introduced to some harder ideas and concepts. -
This is one of the best python course I have ever come across, it is beginner friendly and gives you a glimpse of the wide range of things that can be done with this beautiful language. Don't hesitate to give this a chance.

Miloš StevanovićThe best course I've found so far, the lecturer is so knowledgeable in the subject that he explains so clearly and easily, I have the feeling that he would teach a monkey to program. -

This is an awesome course. I am halfway through and really enjoying it. The way Chuck explains python, it is very clear. I have tried other free online courses on python, but this one is the best. May be, I like the way he explains :)

MANY THANKS TO CHUCK!!!! -
I have almost finished the course at this point (2 lectures and exercises left) and I am impressed with both the course and instructor. I was able to learn quite a lot about not only python, but many different aspects of general computer science as well....
