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.

The tool for Python Playground would not register as completed for an audited course. Otherwise, instructive and easy for beginners to understand.

Very easy course if you already have programming experience. Good way to brush up your python skills, but might be too slow for advanced learners.
