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.

That was a great course. I thank Coursera for approving my financial aid. I might not express my feelings because of my bad english but I am truly thankful to Coursera and the University of Michigan.

This course is very well structured, it will teach you have to think like a computer and thus being able to give the computer instructions much more dynamically vs just teaching you to memorize code.

Was a great experience for something looking to slowly wade into the world of programming. I'm excited to continue onward as I continue to potentially learn more and see if data management is for me.

I loved this course and learned so much! It's been a long time since I used it and wanted to take the course again but Coursera doesn't let me retake this course once completed! It's a great course!

Great intro course to programming and Python! The instructor did a good job of getting you to think logically, step by step like a computer would. Also the auto-grading platform works wonderfully.

its good after all all but its more basic concept on begginers programming which is according to the name of course but there should also be more focus on the basic definition and basic words means

Coursera is a website where you have access to the world's best instructors. I learnt so much from Coursera. Now I know basics of Python and can move forward to the next level of Python programming.

This is a very beginner friendly course. I have tried the MIT's edx version too but found this onw a lot more friendlier towards beginners. Plus, the instructor is also very cool and easy to follow.

This is a course I highly recommend! Great explanations and definitely got me interested in learning more! This is coming from someone with no prior knowledge of programming, needless to say python.

I was very pleasantly surprised to have a clearer understanding of python, which helped me build problem-solving thinking. This is far more important than teaching you to solve a particular problem.

Very explicid examples, quite descriptive theory as much as needed. The assignments also help a lot to keep on going! I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to start copping with python!

practical exercises helped me understand the concepts. Would recommend to have this module as your introduction to python programming. The discussion is put out so that anyone can learn the language

This course is very helpful and understandable. This was my first time trying out programming and Charles Severance broke it down into small simple yet potent topics. I look forward to learning more

If you are an "Absolute Beginner" in the programming field, this course is for you. This course covers the very essential things that you must know to learn a programming language. Thanks, Dr Chuck.

I'm so exciting that I made it with my poor English! Keep on fighting~ This course is really friendly even if you don't know anything about programming, just be patient and you'll get what you want.
