Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python

Thoroughly explained, everything was perfect. Good teaching standard

I learn python from edx my experience is awesome like what u learn in computer science do not go college University go online and one thing also when u join outside class for python then end in 2 mont

They take different approaches. CS50x explains a lot of what goes on under the hood and teaches programming using C (a low-level language in comparison to Python)

This is a well-crafted, fast-paced introduction to Computer Science, though a little dry at times. I think it's based on the introductory 'CS for non CS majors' course at MIT.

It was much harder and moved much quicker than any other MOOC I have taken. I learned a lot, but it was a lot more work than I had really anticipated.

This course covers a lot of ground, so it may be demanding for a beginner.

Excellent introduction class for anyone wanted to learn Python either you are a beginner/student or a professional experienced engineer wanted to learn something new.

An excellent introduction to thinking computationally. I liked the instructor, and the exercises and problems sets largely struck a nice balance, being challenging but not discouraging.

This MOOC helped me to recognize my potential in the field of computer science. It is demanding, even might cause you scratchingly uncomfortable. But it is definitely a worth try.

This course might seem a little boring or even intimidating to some. It's won't be an easy walk-through if you don't have any clue what Python or programming is about.

I just finished this class. It was much harder and moved much quicker than any other MOOC I have taken. I learned a lot, but it was a lot more work than I had really anticipated. I am a complete novice with no programming experience, so perhaps that was my fault. I did finish (just this second) and did get a good grade, but I put far more time and effort into the class than I had expected. Be prepared!As an example the first 3 'week' projects are due 4 days apart (Thurs, Tue, Fri due dates) so the 'week' concept was a bit misleading. Again, I really enjoyed and learned a ton, but I hope others know their expectations.Also a lot of the work is self taught. You need to go out and find the answer far more than expect the answer to be in the videos or exercises.

The many practice quizzes are very useful and I could follow the first half of the course but when I encountered a problem with an exercise around the middle of the course I couldn't solve it and since I was too busy to find other help (e.g. books/resource persons), I was stuck and gone off track with the course schedule. So I had to drop this course. I'd recommend this course if you have someone around who already knows programming because as with other computer stuffs, sometimes a small thing can get you stuck and you can look at it a million times and still can't see where the problem lies.
