The computer screen is way too small, the code is pretty dated, terms are not explained well, not fit for absolute beginners! He is also always jumping around and never giving an in depth explanation. EXAMPLE- in one of the earlier lessons he just started searching up words on google! I also found myself scrambling around on google to get more information. EVEN WITH some prior knowledge from other python classes it was still hard to understand!!! I do not recommend. ;(

It is a good introduction and the price extremely fair. I liked it overall but I wish for these points to be addressed. At times it is a bit dense and difficult to understand. The course can benefit from clear explanations of why and how parts interact. in coding Python. The instructor clearly is knowledgeable ("since I don't have a comparison point"). I hope in the future the course creators will work on delivery. The explanations are lacking clarity and depth to be understandable. It is like someone is telling you "here is a banana and that is all what you need to know" banana == banana. Paraphrasing "that is all what you need to know", it is not a teaching explanation or substitute for understanding. I liked the instructor well enough but at times it was very challenging. In summary thank you.

Lessons were explained in simple enough terms to allow for anyone to follow along but the final project was a little more difficult than the level of the lessons. However, on a whole and enjoyable introduction to Python.

So, the lecturer has quite the knowledge on Python, however the lecture is hard to follow-on, because of the manner in which he speaks. The entire lecture was recorded without any preparations or so and this spoils the experience, but it is worth. The final "calculator" program is really cute and it is worth Your time.

Hi,This is free course attended felt useful, quit confident to learn through Udemy whatever the technology i want, one thing i felt personally is the session carried out little faster. and since it's prerecorded video we can go back and see other wise that would be difficult if it happens with important segment.Over all the nice course.Thank you.

The instructor quickly and sufficiently runs through basic tasks of pythons. It is a great introduction and a great review if it has been a while since you've seen Python. It would only be better with more chances to practice/test what is taught.

By Christiano Daniel on 4/17/2020

This is a great course, well detailed information, easy to listen and follow. Superb job by the instructor, I really love the structure of the course, the steps to understand the fundamentals of python is really good. The only improvement I will suggest is having more projects like “final project “ in the course, as learning is quicker when building a system.

By R Graham on 3/24/2020

The lessons were bite-sized and covered a lot of good material. It required a certain amount of IT knowledge rather than "absolute beginner" level. The lessons were created on-the-fly, instead of being well prepared. I learned a lot in a short time, and it was free. Overall, it was definitely worth the time, and I would recommend it to others.

By Katya Remennik on 2/9/2020

This course requires some previous experience or knowledge about programming in general. There is some level of assuming in the course regarding the covered topics. It will take some time for the complete beginner to search over the internet for more info regarding the explained topics to make sure that student and teacher are on the same page.

By Azizbek Umaraliev on 2/5/2020

It was a a great course, except before it was my first time ever with programming it was difficult to follow, had to re-watch some of the videos 5-6 times. I'd recommend to make it easier to understand with comparisons not to other programming languages but to life, nature or simple stuff.
