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.

Excellent, although, even without having any programming experience except some Visual Basic at school about ten years ago, in my opinion the course could have bee more difficult and the pace quicker.

The explanation was simply brilliant and for a person who had absolutely zero knowledge about coding, this was a great morale booster. I would highly encourage anyone to start their journey of coding with this course.

This is my first step in the world of computer programming before that I think that programming is not my cup of tea, thanks to my teacher Dr. Charles, after his guidance now I believe the whole pot of tea is mine :-)

Super course! You made me, a person who got completely stuck with Visual Basic in the bachelor time and therefore hating programming on its whole, to enjoy and to love Python! I will definitely continue! Thanks a lot!

Very clear, very suitable for anyone who never has basic knowledge of coding. I feel becoming smarter after taking the course since I had a strong fear of reading codes (something seems that I'd never understand!) :P

Thank you for helping me getting started with learning a new language. It has provided me motivation to go deeper into python programming. But, I must say, the course is a very good platform for someone new to coding.

Excelente curso, cubre los principios básicos no solo de Python, sino de la programación en general, y el profesor explica muy bien, cubre todos los aspectos, cuando terminas un video prácticamente no te quedan dudas.

Really great course for beginners. The teacher is funny and the teaching materials are excellent. The pace is somewhat slow, but if you are taking this course next to your regular job or studies that is actually nice.

I enjoy this learning path with Dr. Severance. He made the course fun and easy to digest. I love the fact that I can learn with my own pace. I also enjoy the satisfaction from solving problems through the assignments.

This course is really excellent and inspiring. I really hope that my teachers in the really world can learn from the teaching styles of Coursera and improve their teaching which is kind of ineffective and uninspiring.

As a beginner I don't know where to start and what to practice. This course took me in a ride which helped me to learn python basics and while learning videos and resources that are available made me feel comfortable.

For folks that have never programmed this class does a really good job of explaining the basics in very understandable terms. wish it had a way to advance past basics into syntax for those that understand the basics.

Although, this was my first time with python, I was up and running with a few basic codes in as few as two classes. The instructor is amazing and I enjoyed this course. Thank you Prof. Severance and the Coursera team.

This course is perfect for starters. I've learnt some Java and C++ before, but I discovered some fun and useful ideas in this begainer's course. Thanks to Pro. Severance, again I find programming easy and interesting.

This course has really helped me to built a strong fundamental concept in Python. Charles Severance was really good at explaining the fundamental concepts. Hope to continue further Python courses with him. Thank you.
