This course encourages and helps the student to complete all modules at their own pace, without placing them under any pressure, I would recommend this type of learning to anyone.

Good introductory course. If you've done any programming in the past you can kind of "fast forward" through the videos but it gives you a good overview of the general syntax etc.

This course is perfect for the beginners and especially who do not have any programming background. The assignments are tricky that pushes us to use logical thinking to do coding.

A great intro to Python! Too much video that didn't seem useful to me (the office hours and accompanying video), but the lectures and practice provided a nice balance of learning.

Takes it slow, but really helps you understand and grasp what you are actually doing. First experience with any computer programming and eager to learn more. Definitely recommend.
