Excellent for beginners like me. Although, I do wish that there were more examples and explanations per topic, more exercises per topic, and more projects per topic to really drive home the material.

Outstanding! Charles Severance is an extremely dedicated and passionate professor who makes you embrace Python3 like an entertaining activity; The rhythm of the lessons is accurate and the difficulty increases gradually from the basic programming skills up to the initial data structure; A must for learning python!

A great intro to Python! Professor Chuck explains everything in a clear way and makes it enjoyable. I just wish all the assignments had worked exercises because it takes some time getting used to the idea of writing your first bit of code. Nonetheless, this is a great start and I look forward to the second course!

I've tried to learn Python for years! Always starting and stopping...there is something about Dr. Chuck and Coursera that has helped me go farther than any previous effort. The learning is challenging and very rewarding! Thank you! The PDF of Python for Informatics by Charles Severance helped reinforce the videos.

The course as well as the course contents are perfect. Dr. Chuck explains all the concepts really well. Whether one has done programming earlier or not, this course will give you an insight of what programming means. I would highly recommend this course to everyone who wants to learn Python. Go for it . Good Luck!

This journey has given me a strong foundation in Python, covering key concepts like variables, conditionals, loops, and functions. Excited to continue learning and applying my skills to real-world projects! 🚀 A big thank you to Dr. Charles Severance (Dr. Chuck) and Coursera for this amazing learning experience.

Knew absolutely nothing coming into this. The method of teaching is great and had me thinking in different ways I normally don't think in. I'm no expert yet but I can at least look at any code and understand what I'm looking at and be able to slowly work on it. Will be doing the next parts of the course for sure.

First of all the instructor is great and his way of teaching is awesome. None of the lectures is boring and everything was so well explained.
The greatest thing about this course is that in this course the language is taught in such a simple way that even a person that has never used a computer can understand it.

Really love that there is a textbook that goes along with the course. I like to read the textbook along with the lectures and I really like having a reference for review in the months and years to come. Without a textbook we have nothing to come back to one or two years later when we want to refresh our memories.

Very well structured to give a basic understanding of python. Good ratio of worked examples to assessments, where the assessments force you to apply knowledge gathered throughout the videos and not simply copy worked examples. Instructor is very likeable and you can tell he is very passionate about his profession

This is the ideal course for a beginner. As I already knew the basics of C programming some of the concepts was already clear to me. Still I would recommend this course if you already know another programming language and trying to learn python. However in that case you will be able to complete the course early.

This course is amazing for every beginner who wants to step into the programming world. Anyone can learn the basics of programming from this course. Also, it has a playground (Online coding environment) to run your program and to test them. Very thankful to Instructor and Coursera for availing this course for us.

In the beginning, i knew nothing about python but now it is 20% . I think computer languages are difficult to peoples if they haven't learnt from good teachers like you because you have started this course from zero. you taught us the very very basic point.
so thankyou sir to make python easy understandable to us.

Very good one for the once who are starting fresh on this programming knowledge. I know couple of programming languages, but i wanted to learn python. So not a bad one, in fact it turned to be the best on for me. Now I'm pretty good with the basics as well and i would like to take this to next level.
Thank you :)

I really appreciated the structure of the course. All of the video content easily covered the topics needed for the assignments. I also find the course textbook to be incredibly concise and to the point. I didn't feel like any information was missing and it was very easy to navigate if I needed to find an answer.

This course is suitable for those who don't have any previous knowledge or very little knowledge of programming. And the instructor, Dr. Chuck is very funny and makes the concepts so easy to learn and interesting that the learning experience turns awesome! I really wish I could meet him and learn tonnes from him.

excellent videos by Dr chuck
although i will recommend this video to only beginners to programming.those who already have experience in c and java can fast forward the videos and complete just the assignments as a lot of stuff is same .overall very nice .ill definitely like to watch other videos related to python.

This is a great course. The teacher not only knows his material, but has a lot of experience working with first time programmers and so knows what errors they are likely to make and what questions they are likely to ask and addresses them all. He is fun to listen to. He was interesting and even funny at times

am someone whose basics were QUITE messed up because of other tutors that had dumped all the info on my head, (i was really close to ditching CS for the whole) but this doc REALLLY cleared up everything. so i not only started from 0 (beginner level) but from -1 (wrong python? or something) go for it, 100% :))))

A wonderful, engaging and confidence-boosting introduction to Python programming for those new to programming. Great job! For more experienced coders looking to learn Python as a new language, it might seem slow but stick with it -- there are many syntax idiosyncracies of Python that are covered in the videos.

I liked the teaching style of the professor very much. He teaches the concepts very clearly and makes the session not boring by telling stories about old computer technologies. The assignments were good and made my mind refresh and apply the concepts I have listened to. Thanks to the system adopted by Coursera.

I am very happy with the course content and presentation. It really turned out like a Magic. I have done multiple courses and trainings both online and in-class, but the way this particular one was covered was exceptionally good. Thanks to Dr. Charles R Severance and Coursera for bringing this beautiful content.

Professor Severance was a great teacher, and he was kind of a nerd. I say this in the most kind manner possible, because I enjoyed this class a lot and his mannerisms helped me focus. I enjoyed the examples he provided, and overall thought this course was an amazing supplementary course for my MTA certification.

Great class! and a thorough introduction to Python to people totally new to programming. I took this class after taking another intro to python (from another institution) which was so fast-paced and which skipped so many basic concepts that I could not complete the final exam. Thanks Mr Severance for this class.
