A extremely friendly introduction to beginner programmers. The instructor is very good at explaining how coding works, and the materials build-up in a nice pace.

This course would be a good material for the very beginning Python learner, and it tells us the basic functions of Python as a very popular programming language.

Excellent introduction to a new programming language. I learning C/C++ 20 years ago, and find Python much easier to understand and use, and better for beginners.

This course is pretty easy. It is a good one to start with. For people who have programming experience, u can actually finish this pretty fast. Like a few hours.

Great course to understand the general programming concepts and hardware / software works. I enjoy watching the office hours in different locations in the world.

This course explanation is very nicely step by step and clear the doubts. I am very thankful to Dr. Chunk for providing the valuable subject class. Thanking you.

Easy to understand and learn a new language. Being an amateur in programming, I found this course straightforward because the professor and content were awesome.

I actually learned python before so this course is very easy for me. Yet I still found it helpful for this course helped me refreshed my understanding of python.

Good intro, but would like more clarity in how to finish last assignment. The text was not informative and should provide a better template of how to get it done

Dr. Chuck has the great abilities of making the students keep the attention high and to express difficult concepts in a simple and mnemonic way. Great course! :)

I would highly recommended to learn Python and basics of programming with this class.

The way how Dr. Severance teaches this course is very clear and progressive.

Excellent course! I found the lectures and slides very easy to understand and they were incredibly informative. 10/10 would recommend to prospective cs students.

The best introductory course for Python, especially for those who has zero programming knowledge. Mr. Charles Severance is the best. Hope to learn more from him.

Very good instruction lectures for those with no programming background. A bit simple for those who understand programming already. Breeze through it if you can!

Easy to follow and understand for people without any experience in programming. I really enjoy it and I am definitely taking the whole specialization. Thank you.

This course is a very basic introduction to programming in general and Python in particular. Basic concepts like variables, data types etc are handled very well.

The course is fun and challenging at the same time. I have shared this already with my co-faculty and students, hoping they'll have the same experience as I had.

This course is very excellent, and it gives you the basic knowledge of computers not only the methods to program. Moreover, it is also suitable for the newcomer.

Dr. Chuck is great! At times, the course was a little slow-moving, but that does keep everyone on the same page. Everything is explained in full detail and well.

The instructor needs to polish some examples, and I think a bit more computer science terminology wouldn't hurt. But overall it was a nice introduction to Python

I was a little bit late to start doing assignments, but now I've even caught up with the course!

I like the way how Mr. Charles teaches and explains the things!

i am learning basic things of python....it's very help full and going cool u know i mean not boring subject is very logical and interesting....thank you coursera

This course is perfect for beginners who has absolutely no knowledge about programming. The lecturer breaks down the concepts to an easily understandable format.

I would rate this course 5/5 and highly recommend it to beginners. It met my expectations, especially in terms of knowledge acquisition and skill development.

I really like Dr. Severance's style of teaching. The interactive portions were quite useful and I had no issues whatsoever submitting assignments. Nice course.
