Fantastic first course. It explains the fundamental concepts at a good pace, perfect for a person with a non-programing background (myself). Exercises were well structured and suitable for people with minimal experience.

Dr. Chunk give a very great introduction for using python to program, the content is easy to catch up, and Dr.Chunk uses multiple flow chart and block diagrams and lots of example to make me understand the points faster.

thanks to dr chunk he did a very good and hard work to let us gain skills and learn from him ,, the course content is a very good constructed ,, i really enjoyed each my module :)

thanks to dr chunk

and thanks to coursera

This was a very easy and gentle approach to programming. I wish there had been more exercises for the Autograder to get additional practice and that the course instructors did not provide starting code in the Autograder.

Good introduction level course for Python and more. Besides learning Python, it's also a good review of programming logic and style. This course is relatively easy if you have experience with other programming languages.

love the teacher sooo much... the lessons are full of enjoyment for entrance-level student. Lots of thanks to Charles and Coursera... thank you so much for providing such a great opportunity for us to learn about Python.

I gave five stars because the course was very easy to follow, the lectures gave a feeling of sitting in a class room and listening to the professor. Secondly, the exercises were good at making me understand the concepts.

I took the first two classes last year when I was trying out coursera. Now that I really want to pursue a python certificate, I'm going for all the classes this time.

I highly recommend this class if you're new to python.

Dr. Charles is very lively and his every lecture is very engaging. I have learnt a lot from this course and the thought of completing the assignments on deadline always kept me on track. In short I would say it's great.

The course was a rich exchange of experiences and a wonderful learning with dynamics, activities and practical exercises, which, in a way, came to be better than the face-to-face educational experiences I have ever had.

Really enjoyed this course. Dr. Chuck is an amazing teacher and he made this course seem all the more interesting! Looking forward to more such courses by Dr. Chuck (and hopefully another Office Hours visit to India :))

Speaking from someone who has a hate for coding, but works in IT, this course is fabulous! The professor finds real world examples that make sense to non-coding brained students. Refreshing, challenging, and insightful!

The course covers the fundamental of Python programming and introduces computer thinking to novice learners. An extremely well laid out curriculum suited to learners who are in the realm of data science and programming.

This is the best course I have ever tool online .their assessments and quizzes will help you to develop core concepts of this course . if you are beginner of intermediate you should take this course. Thank you coursera.

It is an easy-to-follow course which unpacks the basics of python programming. The professor delivers the course in a comfortable way that attracts me to keep learning and practicing the newly learned skills. Recommend!

It was really beautiful introduction to programming for me i have always been under-confident about programming in general but this course has give me confidence towards learning more about python and coding in general

Solid introduction to Python with clear video lessons with useful examples.

Quizzes and tests were fair and useful to improving understanding.

Really enjoyed the interviews with various pioneers in information technology.

I am highly thankful to Dr. Charles, the way he taught the python is just stunning. He proved with his teaching that if your background doesn't relate to Computer Programming, it doesn't matter, Python is for Everybody.

The course is very interesting. Dr Charles Severance explanation is easy to understand and he delivered it in a fun way. This course is suitable for people who don't know about Python at all, or even new to programming.

It was a GREAT course on python basics. The lectures don't bore at all. I have enjoyed the course , It's a great start to the absolute beginners who want to learn python. Thank you, Professor for such an amazing course.

This lesson was for everybody including those who don't have programming background and the lesson is being teach in a simple and profound way that anybody can learn to program in python. I enjoyed the lesson very much.

Its a breeze when learning with coursera, i have no programming background and have a fear towards programming but this course combo with Coursera and Dr. Chuck washed away all my fear...Thank you Coursera and Dr. Chunk

I have found this course very useful to understand basic concepts of Python programming & the way Charles taught was very intuitive & relaxing while learning. Will continue to learn more. Thanks Charles & Coursera Team.

it was an amazing experience with sir and really I don't have any prior knowledge of any language thank you, sir you really teach me what is actual programming and I will join more courses on Coursera. thanks you to all
