This is just a wonderful course Dr. Chuck, and the beauty of this course is the way you teach.

You teach in a very joyful way that everyone learn it without feeling bore.

You make this course more interesting and motivating by adding bonus videos.

I wish this free access to Coursera extends so that I could learn more from you.

It was amazing going through the entire course1. As my first programming language, I would say it was worthwhile learning under Dr. Chuks. The classes were organised in such a way that I could follow up step by step without much complications. I am grateful I was patient enough to complete it, and I look forward to course2.

This course was very well structured, very well taught. This helped me understand basic concepts of python, made me realize why innovation and programming is amazing. Explanation provided by Professor Charles is so precise and understandable that I feel this is one of the best courses to get started with python programming.

This has been an amazing experience; it is so much convenient for people who are busy but still want to learn because Coursera is so flexible, Thank you Coursera!

Thank you Dr Chuck, your explanation and classes are very helpful, detailed and beautifully assembled. I love coding!

Thank you University of Michigan!

Thanks!!! :D

A nice course.

Indeed it was kinda easy for people with some background in programming like me, but I think it is the way it should be for people with no experience. In my opinion people with no programming knowledge at all could use this course to start learning programming without having to study anything else before that.

Very suitable for new comers of programming. For me who has programming experience for more than 10 years and just want to catch up with the mainstream of programming in Python, it's a bit too simple. But that's my problem, not the class. The class is arranged nicely, Chunk presented very well and clear. I like it very much

I enjoyed learning from Sir, Charles Severance. I thank him and Coursera for this useful, informative and illuminating course. He is a very thoughtful teacher who puts a lot of thought into how he presents the material. His lessons were useful.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning.

Thank You!

Superb! I think Mr. Charles is my ideal teacher. Haha. He explained the topics easiest way possible that it became easy for me to understand. He connects the lesson to real life experience which makes it more interesting and more understandable. Thank you Mr. Charles! Thank you, University of Michigan! Thank you, Coursera!

A very nice introduction to the language of Python, instead of dragging you through the rough topics at first - You're instead introduced to some of the cool functions Python has. The icing on the cake is definitely the bonus section - You can feel the instructor is very committed to this and has a passion for the subject.

I strongly recommend this course to everyone who didn't learn anything about programming before. Actually I have learned C language 8 years before but I don't think I understand programming. However this time I can realize why I should code like that. Dr. Severance's class is funny and vivid, it's worth to take this class.

It's a really simple course for beginners and really encouraging one. I had learnt Ocaml programming in my college first year but never learnt how thing worked there and wasn't able to visualize what actually was happening there. With this course I am able to visualize what each line is doing and how every loop is working.

Great course for any kind of demographic, be it a professional programmer seeking to add another language to their skill set or someone from a non technical background who have never coded in their lives. This course is beneficial to anyone who wants to start learning python. Great experience learning from a great teacher!

This is a good course if you are new to python or programming in general. The explanations for the course material is fine. However, some of the wording for the practice assignments could be worded better. I did not use the forums much, but I did see that the teaching assistant replied to other students in a timely manner.

Very well planned course, nicely divided into weeks. Helped me get started with Python. The instructor is good. Its like your personal tutor :). Moreover Not just theory but also those practical quizzes and exercises helped me get my hands dirty with coding too . I am looking forward for more such courses and certificates.

Charles Severence is amazing at what he does, his method of teaching is second to none. you remind me of my physics teacher back at high school he was very unorthodox in his teaching also. so glad to see the course has gone to include all the material from his phenomenal book. Thank you and well done snape youre awesome

Basic python stuff covered. Useful for someone coming in with no real programming exposure. And a good revision for someone picking up programming after a gap. Dr.Chuck's style is easy and engaging to follow. Note that this course covers only first five chapters of the python book. Rest is covered as part of paid course.

Excellent introductory course for programming! Chuck really did a fantastic job "rewiring" my brain so that now I begin to think about everything in a linear way, like a machine...For an absolute beginner, Python is much more accessible than Javascript. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to get a taste of programming!

Думал, что курс будет немного более продвинутым. Я уже всё это знал, поэтому видео и другие теоретические материалы особо не изучал - просто выполнял задания) Но для совсем новых людей в программировании - это очень хороший вариант понять принцип самого программирования и программирования на Python в частности. Спасибо :)

Este curso é maravilhoso. Eu já havia feito alguns cursos fora do coursera e havia aprendido bastante,mas era mais pra prática do realmente entender a fundo. Tanto que quando comecei,tinham detalhes sobre coisas básicas que eu não sabia que acontecia. Eu sabia fazer mas não sabia como funcionava . Então,este curso é ótimo

This was an excellent easy-to-follow introduction to programming and Python. Course materials were well organized and presentations easy to understand. Materials and explanations were very relevant. Exercises presented good challenges and were appropriate to previous and current teachings. So glad I took this course!!

I really liked the style of professor Chuck, not a second of his talk is boring or irrelevant. I would suggest adding at the very beginning some very basics, like (non-)importance of using spaces in Py, use of colon and brackets. And also, the perspectives of working with Python - what is it that we will use it to create!

This is a great course and it's truly a program for EVERYBODY.I And Dr.Chuck is very knowledgeable and very humorous in class style. This course provides a lot of useful learning materials to make this course easier to learn and operate. I think I would highly recommend this course to my friends who want to learn Python.

I am a beginner with no degree in IT whatever and yet I enjoyed very much the course as Dr Chuck made it possible for me to undestand it as he has very good explanatory skills and the computing conversations were really amazing because through them, I realized even more things. I would strongly recommend it to everyone!

This is a very interesting course and I recommend it for begginers. I'm a 40y old mechanical engineer and I studied Q-Basic and C++ 20 years ago at university and the basis of programmation was very useful for this course. I think that anybody that haven't seen python could take the course with a bit of practice in Atom.

I have a background with programming in MATLAB, but obviously, Python differs from that, so I wanted to leave a review to express how well Professor Severance describes the concepts I already knew, and how well he was able to explain why things are a certain way in the Python language. Looking forward to the next course!
