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 teacher was very fun to learn from, and the course felt cohesive and easy to follow. The hands on exercises are nice, and I even experimented with my own things following his instructions. I'm excited to do more!

Getting taught the basics in a systematic way. Very good for beginners. Motivating instructor. I hope to continue learning more about python. But now I need a little break, reading dostoyevski. Thanks y'all. Spasiba.

Me parece una excelente opción para cualquier persona que no tiene ningún background de programación. Yo sí lo tengo, pero me hubiera encantado que cuando aprendí a programar hubiera sido de esta forma tan intuitiva.

a very good course for those who are just starting coding without any previous knowledge of any programming language. Also very helpful for people like me transitioning from a different programming language to python

Together with David Malan from Harvard University, Charles Severance is a genius at conveying knowledge in a compact and understandable way. The course is suitable for absolutely everybody, no matter how old you are.

This course was really enjoyable and very easy for the ones who know another programming language. Professor Severance is a great instructor. I'm looking forward to completing the next courses of this specialization.

This course was extremely easy to follow and the instructor was probably the best I've had. Goes into detail and explains all the mechanics so you can understand why you're doing something. Would recommend to anyone!

I had a rough experience with Python before taking this course. But this course has changed it.

Now I am curious to learn more about Python and to improve my knowledge in it.

Thanks Coursera, for this wonderful course.

Excellent introduction to Programming in general and to Python specifically. Dr. Charles approach is very easy to understand and follow. I'll continue with the specialization on my way to develop useful applications.

Very good introduction to programming with python. Really goes in detail through the basics of programming and python. Although it covers only really basic things since there are other courses in this specialization.

This was my first online course. It was a very well taught course. Absolutely enjoyed taking it, and I am glad that I took it. Very well-planned course, even for the beginners as it starts from the basics. Loved it!!

Very clear (maybe too clear as for experienced C/C++ programmer), but I want to learn Python! and I find it amusing to work with code on a basic level, what makes my motivation very high. Glad I joined this course :)

The instructor is engaging to listen too. I had already taken another beginner Python course before this one, but I learned a number of things in this class. Most notably, I have a much better understanding of loops.

This is exactly how you want to begin to get your feet wet. Or, if you're like me and haven't touched a programming language in more than 20 years, it is a great chance to begin to explore the advances in the field.

Very properly designed course, never felt left out on any topic throughout the entire course.

It gives the proper introduction to python as a language and generates interest for learning further about this language !!

This course teaches you the basic to python language, from using if, elif, else, creating for and while loops, learning about expressions and variables and types. It is a very good introduction to Python programming.

I have taken many intro to python courses and gained little knowledge. This course broke things down simply and helped me to understand the reasoning behind the programming. The instructor is great! Highly recommend.
