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.

I strongly recommend those who are learning this course read the book written by the professor, it really helps a lot, only watch the video is not enough.

I'm eager to learn more about programming now!

The editor needs to be improved, the overall course is very well done, but i really struggled getting the editor to work in terms of indentation.

Would definitely recommend this course to fellow peers.

I think this course might be a little bit of easy to students who had programming experience before,but Doctor Severance is awesome in teaching, and it is a good choice to built foundation in python.

Amazing Course with most amazing instructor! Dr. Chuck teaches in the most enthusiastic and interactive way. If you are new to Python, this is the best course to start with without being overwhelmed.

Engaging, fun, challenging for begginers and a cool refresh for people away from programming for quite some time. Chuck is the best teacher I came across and I would love to attend a class with him.

Excellent for beginners like me. Although, I do wish that there were more examples and explanations per topic, more exercises per topic, and more projects per topic to really drive home the material.

As someone who's been paranoid about programming, I would say Mr. Severance has just slam-dunked me with this course. I'm a bit optimistic about code writing and programming now !! Thanks Coursera :)

Very good introduction to basic programming. Very easy for beginners in python who have already some programming background - but still extremely useful to quickly and efficiently learn python basics

So easy to learn with the videos and tutorials! I have gone through 2 other coding classes and haven't been able to finish because I get stuck and this one has been 100x better in helping me learn :)
