I loved it! Dr. Chuck is extraordinary in his explanations. A great way to start on Python programming. As a person that hasn't programmed in years it was an encouraging and educational experience :-)

Great introduction to Python and programming as a whole. Everything is broken down making it easy to understand. Had zero programming experience before and this class made it easy and fun to get into.

It's a great experience to learn a new language python with hand-on experience. The quizzes and assignments are amazing. While preparing a solution to the assignment I learn the python in more depth.

Thanks to the instructor and the entire team of Coursera.

Thank You!

Dear Dr Charles,

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It was never a boring class. I have learned a lot, not only about the concept, but also on how to teach the basics of programming, and how to be creative in constructing assessments/quizzes. Thank you, Coursera .

This was a very great start for me, in python. Even though I am from a mechanical engineering side , its was very much worth it to have learnt something new. I will surely continue learning. And a special thanks for the instructor and for the University of Michigan.

Excellent course! Lectures are concise and easy to understand. The course exercises are not difficult but challenging enough to require you to think through the problem. The Professor is knowledgable and conveys concepts very well. I am very glad I took this course.

I enjoyed this easy-to-follow introduction to Python and the refresher it gave me. I haven't written code in many years, so this was a really great reminder of what I loved about programming, while also introducing me to Python and its peculiarities. Thanks Chuck.

Ajudou a entender melhor a lógica de programação além de preencher lacunas existentes do meu estudo individual. Ótimo para quem é novo na área e não tem idéia por onde começar ou para quem quer aprender por hooby. Principalmente para pessoas sem conhecimento prévio.

Loved the course: it gives the very basics of Python in an easy and understandable way, and Chuck Severance has got an amazing personality, which adds a lot to the course. The estimated completion time is definitely overestimated: you need a week max to complete it.

This course was great it teaches you the fundamentals of programming and take's it step by step. The professor even takes the time to show you the basics of how to save a file and why its so important to have this knowledge. Thank you so much professor and Coursera.

For a guy like me with no prior programming knowledge, it was so much new language learning experience via online course. Specially the presentation and the sessions delivered by Professor Dr. Chuck was amazing. Thank you coursera for this initiative and Dr. Chuck.

Prof Severance is great! I enjoyed his teaching and the course is really comprehensive, I have close to zero background in programming and the course really guided me through and gave me an idea of it. I would love to take further courses to learn more about Python.

Very good introduction to computer programming and python. The concepts have been presented gradually and also it has been made a connection between the program and the hardware running the program. I also liked very much the bonus videos at the end of each chapter.

I couldn't have asked for any other better professor than Dr. Chuck for this. Very calm and composed professor, does not rush with the things no matter how obvious or basic they might be he explains it with utmost interest and concern. Best course for a beginner !

I knew nothing about Python before taking this class. Now I feel like I can code anything!! And the instructor wasn't just reading notes off a paper. He was genuine and engaging and made it feel like an in person class. (And I love that he referenced Harry Potter!)

Excellent Intro course. Always wanted to learn the language but I guess needed to find a best to do it online. So, I am taking advantage of spending more time and working from home, then, I am exchanging daily commute time for learning purposes. Good deal, right..?
