i have heard a lot about python programming from friends, and from the way they do talk about it, it seemed pretty clear it'd be really difficult to comprehend or even grasp a fraction of it, but after going through this course with you guys,the reverse became the case because my learning so far has been really smooth and that is absolutely why i think you guys are simply the best

It is a very good as a step ahead to me as a beginner in programming. Good content and lessons were structured in away that integrated to ease the way through. If i could add a comment from my point of view I would recommend to increase the exercises and their difficulties since many of which are close to the lectures in their content and not challenging to the learner.

Overall I've liked this course - great intro but I have to admit this isn't my first course on python 101. Few of the exercises (e.g the for & while loop) contained some elements where I was slightly puzzled as that wasn't discussed in the lecture itself.

I really enjoyed the course. I think the only improvement I'd make would be to include the modules on installing and setting up jupyter notebook and anaconda, right within the course, and within the logical flow of this introduction to Python!

It was my second course in yuor site and in english. I've never learned smth on English before. My native language is belorussian, so I can say, that it was a little bit difficult but I did it. I understood everything.
