About the Course

This course introduces the basics of Python 3, including conditional execution and iteration as control structures, and strings and lists as data structures. You'll program an on-screen Turtle to draw pretty pictures. You'll also learn to draw reference diagrams as a way to reason about program executions, which will help to build up your debugging skills. The course has no prerequisites. It will cover Chapters 1-9 of the textbook "Fundamentals of Python Programming," which is the accompanying text (optional and free) for this course. The course is for you if you're a newcomer to Python programming, if you need a refresher on Python basics, or if you may have had some exposure to Python programming but want a more in-depth exposition and vocabulary for describing and reasoning about programs. This is the first of five courses in the Python 3 Programming Specialization....

It's a must join course for the people who want to deep dive into the world of Python. I really loving this course very much. I wanna explore more hence opting for other parts of this specialization.

Good course. Enjoyable. Could have used more opportunities to practice, and sometimes techniques and instructions were used without explanation or with incomplete explanations

Good introduction to Python, somewhat slow at the beginning if you're an experienced programmer. The interactive environment is a very efficient way to learn by doing, kudos!!!

Glacial pacing at the beginning but everything is covered in exhaustive detail. The reading material and online textbook are wonderful and the professors are engaging.

It's a good course with interesting videos and tests, but there are some troubles with Runestone(like if i write a right code, but system say no).

Thank you for this.

Easy to follow, good explaining and material. However, i found it to be a bit too slow and hoped to go through the material faster and cover more during this course.

The course content is okay. It felt like a regular class on campus. I think the instructors need to be less scripted. Also I can say I don't like turtle at all.

Assessments ask much more difficult questions than we are taught. On that note however, that did help me learn a bit more than the lectures and readings alone.

Sometimes, I got the correct answer, but the system would tell me it was wrong because I did it in an unfamiliar way — slightly bothering. Overall great class!

Overall a decent course, though a little too easy if you have Python experience. Worthwhile to review some basic concepts and the interactive tool is helpful.

Super, super basic python course. Very slow pace. It is taught assuming you have never programmed before. This would be a great course for absolute beginners.

speed was quite slow and the creator missed some of the topics which were meant to be covered. but still, the course was a good one for medium pace learners

The textbook was amazing! Unfortunately, between subpar image quality, poor voice pickup, and uninspired teaching, the videos were almost entirely useless.
