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.

It was an awesome course , the instructor was very good at explaining it in a (hogward) like way .It was fun, i feel like anyone who doesn't have prior knowledge on programming can learn it with ease.

I like the course design and the exercises are very helpful to review the key concepts in the videos. I think the course wants to teach us how to think like a computer scientist by learning python.

I do learn a lot about python from this course.

Even though I'm a super beginner as to python, but this course gave me kind explanation and inspiration.

I do wanna recommend this course for everyone!

The pace and structure are perfect for the beginner programmer. The courses build in difficulty in a logical progression to help the learner gain a solid infrastructure for more challenging topics.

Dr. Severance is the programming professor I should have had back in '87 when I was crunching thermodynamics with Fortran 77. Boy I was lost back then! He does great and it all works well online.

Quite accessible for anyone who has never done any programming. It is very engaging! There could be harder exercises to practice but in general the course is well structured and exercises are good!

It's an exceptional course on Coursera. Course is a bend of theory and wisdom lectures from Python founder and inventors in computer sciences. It's always pleasure to listen to Professor Severance.

Great overview - went over things many times but patiently and slowly. I have taken a few intro to programming classes and this was one of the easier to follow and understand ones I've experienced.

This course is very basic and is for the learners who are very new to programming. If you already know the programming in other language, only keywords are different and may not be as you expected.

Best professor and amazing course. Need to make people work more. Assignments are interesting. Include more than 2 assignments as people taking online courses don't get time to work on their own.

I have some familiarity with Python already, so this was more of a refresher, but it was well laid out and did a good job bringing you through some fundamentals of python and computational logic.
