Great course! I always thought of programming as a too-difficult-and-complex thing for me; now I want to learn more. Thank you Dr Charles Severance for explaining everything in such an affordable way.

It was a really cool class. The instructor taught very well. The language was easy to understand and it felt like a real classroom. The exercises were helpful and gave me an introductory level heads up in Python. I would love to complete the next 4 courses in this specialization as well.

It completely took away my fear of online courses. The learning and assignments are smooth and well done. The teacher is great and knows how to approach the material so anyone can learn. The only negative is week two always shows incomplete. I wanted it to be all green, but GREAT course.

This course was amazing! The professor does an excellent job of presenting the material and the mentors are very helpful. Also the course has many useful resources: video series, ibook text, practice questions, forum , and help center. I am looking forward to taking the next course!!!

I had some experience with programming from 25 years ago, but I think that the videos, the book chapters, and the mentors that supported the discussions were all fantastic. I would highly recommend the class, and I would highly recommend Coursera in general. Thank you for the opportunity

I have taken a handful of programming classes through my university. This one beats them all.
Dr. Chuck explains complex concepts in simple terms that even I, a CS student turned Business student, can understand how to communicate with a computer.
All I have to say is: thanks, Dr. Chuck!

I loved this class! It was challenging but didn't take over my life (I have a full time job), and I think I got a good handle on the basics.
The professor is really entertaining and is great at teaching. I definitely recommend this to someone trying to get an introduction to programming.

Very good. But, I think the assignment session should be more flexible. For example, in the last assignment, the answer is "Maximum is 10", my programme result is "Maximum 10", I lost "is". I checked my code hundreds of times lol. Anyway, This is a very nice course for python beginner.

This is the perfect course for someone who has never coded anything before. As someone who was already coming from a CS background even, I found it extremely helpful how the teacher takes their time to explain the most basic concepts so that a student may not be confused between syntax.

A well-curated course, eloquently designed to effectively teach anyone, it is particularly easy to grasp especially among students who have not had any experiencing programming before applying for the course. All of the materials provided for the course are relevant and extremely useful

Very helpful if you just start to learn programming. Dr.chuck is good teacher and lectures are interesting. You will lost in assignments a bit but after you read text book, do exercises from textbook and give some time, it will pass easily. Overall i am quite satisfied with this course.

This course has really created an interest in programming! Its learning process is fun throughout the completion of the course. I am extremely thankful to Charles severance sir for making it look so easy for the learner irrespective of the background that the learner is coming from. :)

The courses are easy to understand and build up my knowledge in python gradually! It also comes with projects to practice. The practice video provides guidance and was helpful too. If one thing to improve, it could be better if Dr.Chuck gives more affirmations at the end of the course.

Python is very beginner friendly. Its conciseness, expressiveness and likeliness to English contributes to its choice for rookies. Its readability complements this and also it is an interpreted language. Just have a look at this Python Syntaxtutorial and see it is to be a python person.

Great introduction that got me back into Python programming. I had previously learned to use Python in architecture school, but it had been too long for me to remember much. I'm glad I found this wonderful resource. You're a talented teacher, and I can't wait to take your other courses!

Instructor is very good. If you've got any experience in programming, going through the first class can be a bit tedious, but I found I was able to complete it very quickly with the C++ and Python I knew going into the class and was able to complete the class in a matter of a few hours.

Professor Severance is pretty good at explaining the concept and his lectures were not only clear but fun! He also makes some jokes and lists some examples to help us understand the concept. I feel like I've learned a lot about python and get a good start at learning computer languages!

It's designed keeping Newbies in mind. It takes us through all the possibilities of Python in such a manner that even a person who has never coded before can start coding immediately. It's a must have for all Programming enthusiasts. One of the best courses for MOOC.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This is the best Online course i have ever had in my life.The session feel more alive and learning is really so fun and all the credits goes to Charles Severance, Associate Professor .I would like to THANK him for the best course and purely suggest everyone who are interested in Python

Very nice course to learn python
It starts from the very beginning and offers a very step by step approach. I had started to learn alone (with books) and i was afraid the course would be for beginners with none experience only, but i will recommend it anyway for "false beginners"
thanks !

I love this course, professor is so amazing, since I have enrolled in this course, my day doesn't end without taking a lecture (which is not easy after work). After DASI (Data Analysis & Statistical Inference) course from Duke University, I have found this the best course. Thumbs up !!!

This is an excellent introduction for beginners and there are good explanations by the instructor. I just wish there were more problems or assignments provided for practice. Overall, I recommend this course to anyone with no programming background looking to take a step into that world.

Brilliant for anyone totally new to programming, however even with basic experience in another language you may find it slow, in which case you may wish to skim through the lecture transcripts and pick out the important bits and just make sure you have the Python syntax etc figured out

Great introduction to Python. I had zero prior experience to Python and I must say that Prof. Severance made all the techniques in this course very clear. The videos were short and to the point, the slides were really helpful and the exercises well constructed. Overall, great course!

Great course for all those who wanted to learn programming but got disappointed or overwhelmed by too much language jargons or out-of-pace instructions. Dr. Chuck made this course so understandable and learnable that most of such enthusiasts can learn very easily. Great work Dr. Chuck!
