Very well thought out. This course covers simple concepts while still being engaging and challenging. Examples from varying disciplines help illustrate concepts in a real-life context.

Great course - the non-programming parts (making flow charts etc) were actually more difficult than the programming (simple Python programming - my first time programming in python)

Great content and well explained. There's a gap of pace in week 4 where the python content is condensed in one week, making the last assignment a bit vague.

This is a good short starter course for people leaping into IT and good refresher course for some. I could finish the audit (minus assignment) in two days

Cleared all my hazy concepts about the basic programming skills which are required due to which I wasn't ever able to code. Now I think I can progress.
