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.

I loved this course so much! I learnt a great deal, and I was so excited about the content that I could not wait for the next video/assignment/reading. The concepts were well explained, the course material is great and I like the instructor. It definitely lived up to its name of Python for Everybody.

This is by far one of the easiest courses on Python for absolute beginners. The instructor starts from absolute scratch and build using basic examples and detailed explanations. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and hope to gain more and more understanding and practice on Python in this Specialization.

I am highly impressed by the Chuck's teaching methods. I was hesitant in the beginning since this is a programming language, but I was surprised how smoothly I am able to understand the concepts taught by him (I refer to the videos as well as the online book).Thank you so much Chuck, you are amazing!

The professor who teaches this course is extremely helpful, patient, and as a bonus is a total goofball. This made the course not only useful but also very enjoyable. I looked forward to doing the exercises each week, and I felt prepared to tackle them. I would highly recommend this course to anyone.

I highly recommend this course for absolute beginners like me in programming. I have a lot of experience in different fields in IT and i had zero knowledge in programming. Dr. Charls explains everything in this course in a very simple language and by having fun :). Tip: Speed 0.75. Thanks Chuck Albi

The first week's material seems like it'll be a lot to process, so I was a bit worried at that point, but the subsequent weeks really break down each little thing. Dr. Chuck is so good at explaining the material in an easy to understand way. I can't wait to continue with the 2nd part of this course.

Super good course for beginners. With some beginner python knowledge prior to starting the course, I was able to complete it and fully understand it within 5-6 hours. However, I still learned a lot of information from Charles and enjoyed the way he explained the main concepts for a general beginner.

Great course for beginniners in this field. Lesson plans are laid out very well. Prof takes his time explaining each concept and idea. The assignments and quizzes were complimentary of the lessons and not overly challenging. Would recommend this course to anyone who wants to get started with Python.

Best course for beginners who have zero programming knowledge. But if you come from a C++ background and want to start Python it is a bit slow course. But best for beginners as it deeply goes through all the basic concepts of programming, Again best for beginners who have zero programming knowledge.

En general el curso fue muy útil y aprendí muchos cosas (mi primer acercamiento a python). Las explicaciones del profesor fueron muy claras lo que hacía fácil comprender los conceptos, y las actividades calificadas fueron muy útiles para practicar. Me gustaron los videos de la información adicional.

Ce cours est vraiment utile et d'une haute qualité, Je remercie profondément les professeurs pour leur patience et compréhension ainsi que leurs efforts fournis dans le but de diffamer la culture de l'apprentissage en ligne outre que la formation des jeunes et des ambitieux des quatre coins du monde

I was an amazing course. This course is so beginner friendly and enjoyable. The instructor taught all the topics with detail. This course goes perfectly, so fast or slow. Specially the quiz and assignments helped me a lot to learn python. As well as now I'm ready to enter the awesome world of Python

The course is really engaging and ensures that all its learners understand all the minor details of programming. Mr. Charles Severance has done an excellent job in teaching and explaining concepts to learners that even people from non-programming background will be able to grasp the concepts. Kudos!

This is perhaps the best online course I have taken so far. The course is paced optimally for beginners and the assignments are designed to help students practice and demonstrate what they have learned. I would prefer to have more assignments. Dr. Chuck is systematic and clear in his explanations.

If you have some programming under your belt, you should still take a moment to work through this first course. It will show you many of the intricate differences between Python and other languages you may know. Very well organized and even the textbook is a nice read! That's huge for a coding book!

This is an amazing course for "beginners". If you are totally new to programming world then this course is best for you. But if you are familiar with other programming language like C or Java then you may not find this course very useful. Take this course if you are totally new to programming world.

Step by step approach. Always an element of stretch, but with perseverance you can work out the problems. Thankfully English is my first language, so at least that isn't an additional challenge. I have a greater appreciation for how much code goes into some relatively basic functions I use on my PC.

Very easy to get into even if you have zero programming experience. Material is clear, and there's enough moments of dry wit and humor through the course and materials to keep you engaged. Read the chapters, watch the lectures, then do the quizes and assignments and you should never have problems.

This is the best course that I have come across. It helps in creating a rock solid foundation for the learning , understanding and implementing python. Dr Chuck is unarguably the best teacher and Coursera is the best platform for online learning and MOOC. Looking forward for the specialization now.

Good, engaging instructor. The instructor does a fantastic job at explaining the core ideas throughout the course and paces out the perfect amount of information in each lesson. Assignments are challenging but fair, and require the student to apply what they have learned without getting frustrated.

Wow ! Im so happy I completed the last quiz by iterating samples and improving my errors. But I know this is just a start of a new beginning in understanding in depth the concept and applications of Data Structures. Im so excited to take on the next course in Data Structure. Thanks Prof Charles !!!

This course is a good start for people who knows a programming language, but also wants to learn Python as well. It really helped me learning the basic operations and necessary syntaxes I need to know. Hence, this course also reveals the unique features of Python that many languages don't possesse.

Because I think that Coursera is a great platform that provides us outstanding courses and its is the best way to learn through coursera to work in a workplace in future,I think Coursera is the best option for all the learners and there is brilliant instructors / teachers in it.
Thank you Coursera.

It is a didactic starting course for everybody. Some basics are being explained here, but if you already have experience as a Software Engineer and have used Python to some extent, you can just go to the grades and start completing the assignments, for me it took me less than two hours to complete.

Many thanks to Professor Severance for this course.
Despite the fact that the course, I think, was too easy for me, I learned some new key points in programming. Professor Severance explains the basics of programming so easily for understanding that even a foreign student will get a lot of pleasure.
