Easy to follow and not boring. The instructor breaks things down in simple form. The Coursera platform is sometimes a bit quirky but otherwise the content in this course I thought was quite excellent.

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.

Loved the explanations and pace of the course - challenging for a complete newbie but do-able. I found having a hard copy of the book was useful.

Easy, and slow paced. Took an average python user just two hours to complete the assignments. Recommended for anyone not versed in the dark arts.
