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.

This course is organized and explained very well. It is moderately challenging, and I recommend it to get interested in Python. The teacher and the assistant staff are very good. I enjoyed the course.

This course is amazing. I didn't study any knowledge of programming before I Join the course. Now, I think I have not only the basic programming knowledge of python but clear logic . I pretty appreciate DR.Severance that he is such a great professor to teach me a lot programming knowledge.

The course "Programming for Everybody [ with Python ]" is a very good initial start up course who want to learn python from the beginning. After i have completed this course, i have got a level of confidence to program in python and the 5 week dedication has helped me to become much better.

Dr. Chuck is deeply inspiring in the way he makes this course so much more than just some information you could find in a book or internet forum. It's noticeable how he cares for keeping students interested, motivated and how not only he wants us to learn python, but to learn how to learn.

Great course for beginners. I already knew most of this material, but the instructor clarified a few things I didn't 'get' fully before. Also, there were a few ideas he presented that I had not thought of before. I have a new and clearer perspective and a better foundation going forward.

This is the best course for Python Basics. You don't need any prior knowledge to learn this course. The instructor teaches from very basics. He tries his best to combine coding things with real-world examples. If you are trying to dive into the world of coding then this course is worth it.

Really liked this course and was able to speed through it (it was a 7 week course and I finished in 3 days). Thought the pace of the course was perfect and the exercises were useful in learning the material- I would've maybe just preferred a few more exercises to complete for each chapter.

Before now, I've been trying so hard to crack into the Python programming language, but its been difficult. Taking this course seems to be the best decision I made towards my Python journey. The course was well thought and broken down to its simplest form. Thanks to Prof Charles Severance.

This course is highly recommended for python beginners . The basic concepts are taught in such a way that you can directly implement after completing the videos . Problems solving from this course will definitely helped me to gain confidence is python. Wonderful experience with Dr. Chuck.

I love this course.And many many thanks to our instructor Dr. Charles Severance who made this course very engaging and explained every concept in very beautiful and simple way that a begginer can understand in the first time. I think the one who want to learn python must visit this course.

This course is helpful for me to have a basic understanding of Python algorithms and syntax. The instructor did a great job explaining the programming concepts. The professor made the concepts easy to understand and absorb. The course also makes me interested in learning more about Python.

I've taken programming courses in my undergrad and not really ever been very good at it. This course started off assuming you knew nothing about programming (accurate) and built it up in a very logical and accessible way! I now feel confident I could tackle more complex scripts for my job.

The course is really good for beginner -which I'm- I found it to be enjoyable, easy and well delivery. Furthermore it takes you from nothing to a understanding that while basic is deep enough as to allow you to start diving in the Python programming world, it's encouraging and stress free.

So far the best introduction into programming / Python course. The mentor has a really good sense of humor, empathy and exceptional teaching skills. Usually, when taking online classes, I had a feeling of being abandoned at certain point; luckily, this class is a great exception.

Thank you.

Although I already had a BS in Computer Science, most of my exprience with Python was hands on supplemented with some Stack Overflow and Google. This course gave an excellent overview of important programming concepts and Python. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in programming.

Very good course, especially for those, who want to start programming and know nothing about it. Dr Chuck is an excellent educator, really engaging with a great sense of humour, so if you're a newbie and interested in learning about Python, surely you won't fall asleep during his lectures.

I never thought I'd enjoy learning how to program! Dr Chuck is engaging and funny in delivering the material. I've done several MOOCs, and Getting Started with Python is by far the most interesting. It has been 7 weeks well spent and I highly recommend it. Onto Python Data Structures next!

Great class. This course is very useful and helpful to me. It also opens up a lot of material and videos. These quizzes and exercises are very interesting and enlightening for programming learners. In particular, Dear Professor Charles Sefrans is also very wise, humorous and full of love.

Programación en Python: He fortalecido mis habilidades de programación en el lenguaje Python a medida que avancé en el curso.

Entrada y Salida de Datos: He adquirido la capacidad de solicitar datos al usuario a través del teclado y de mostrar información en la pantalla de manera eficiente.

I had tried learning Python many years ago and I could not complete it as I had no idea what's talking about during the class. Now this class makes me understand step-by-step of the Python and now I can say I really love it and looking forward to finish all the courses for specialization.

This was a great way to re-hash some of the programming structure I had used in college but long forgotten. I am continuing this course into its further Python components because I really like the structure, and I think the remaining content will further help me in my role as an engineer.

I have learned alot from this course. The way of teaching is great. The best thing about this course is that if you are starting from 0 you will face no difficulty to understand the things. I love to take further courses in future. Thank you professor Charles for making things easy for us

It was too easy for me as I have studied some languages in universities but it is great for those who have no programming background. I have just completed the first course in this specialization and would update the review when I hopefully complete the remaining 4 courses. Happy Learning

I have never seen such a clear and seemingly easy explanation of aprogramming language which is step by step and forces you to brain storm yourself to work on problems and build a skill to work and build our own programs. One of the best starts a student would want towards learning Python

Un buen curso para comenzar, es importante por cierto ir leyendo el libro Python para todos y realizar los ejercicios propuestos. Ideal para estudiantes y profesionales que quieren comprender Python y la programación desde los cimientos. Buenas perspectivas de solución a problemas además.
