Extremely basic but Dr. Chuck is so interesting that you never get bored. You can pass the course in a few days with minimum or even no programming knowledge. It's a good starting point for beginners.

Great course! I always thought of programming as a too-difficult-and-complex thing for me; now I want to learn more. Thank you Dr Charles Severance for explaining everything in such an affordable way.

Very good intro, can be completed much faster than the timescale stated if you are an existing programmer, but gives plenty of time for someone brand new to programming

Best course I have ever participated, online and real life.

I got to a point where I actually believed, Python is not for everybody... you made me eat my hat.

Thank You!

Basic introduction to programming in python, covers things like the language syntax, loops. etc! Forms the foundation for the rest of the courses in the specialisation.

Pros: It was relatively easy but at times challenging. 

Cons: The quizzes won't let you review what you answered wrong, why is it wrong and memorize the correct answer.
