I loved it! Dr. Chuck is extraordinary in his explanations. A great way to start on Python programming. As a person that hasn't programmed in years it was an encouraging and educational experience :-)

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.

Great course. Pace is perfect with Proffessor Chuck guiding you step by step through the process. Course is scattered with videos showing real world application of course material and explanation of how the hardware marrys to the software constantly keeping you engaged.

I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to partake and actively engage in this epic course by Dr. Charles "Chuck" Russell Severance. Can't wait to continue the saga with the Python Data Structures course.

All the best to Dr. Charles & my fellow learners,

My first Coursera course in a while and I was beyond impressed by the quality of this course. Engaging professor, quality teaching material, good quizzes, and assignments that are auto-graded. I hope that the rest of the courses in this certification are as impressive

Dear Dr. Chuck. I am a first year middle school student from Bangalore. I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and learnt a lot from your instructions and assignments. This was also my first ever course with Coursera. I look forward to the next courses. Regards, Ritayush.

Although I have been passed programming language at the university in Iran, I have never seen someone like Dr. Chuck with excellent teaching ability. I try to enroll in Python Data Structures course to complete my knowledge and benefit from Dr. Chuck excellent teaching.

The explanation and exercises are seemed very do-able for a new coder. I am new to Python, but experienced in coding in other languages and still learned a bit about fundamentals. After completing this course I would be comfortable to start a small project in Python3.

An well prepared course by Dr. Charles Russell Severance with excellent syllabus. It does not matter if you are beginning from scratch or already have some grasp on programming, this course is definitely going to help you in refining and revitalizing your Python skills.

This course gave me the confidence for building up my coding skills . I am sure that going to enroll for the next course. The assignments and quizzes are good to improve my confidence. I recommend this course who don't have prior knowledge in coding and python language.

Good course of course. You're a great teacher. Only negative is your view on error messages. IMO it's: "Human stupid, Python not", instead of vice versa. It is important for people to learn when they are wrong and accept that they are wrong rather than shunning it away.

Very easy to follow and nice to get glimpses of students from around the world. The large-hearted approach of not penalising a student rather encouraging them to make attempts till they succeed is much appreciated. Guru Charles is a great teacher. Thank you and Namaste!

Everyone who's weak in programming or anyone who wants to clear their views regarding programming or learn python should register for this course just like I did. Anyone reading my review is same as me I can tell that for sure; Oops sorry "was", I gained the skills now.

It's best for them who want to learn Python from scratch. The way prof. teaches is the best way one can teach. Sir uses a lot of real-world example which infect is the key to get the modern knowledge of modern technology! Go for it without any thought, you won't regret.

Python for everybody course is awesome because of Dr.chuck, He began the course in a spoon feeding approach and finished it how one can do it on their own, it's really a fact that both the course and the instructor is awesome to play and teach the course to the students

This was a great learning environment (at my own pace, in my own place) and Charles is a great instructor. Wonderful introduction to programming, and I am excited to continue to the next section. My goal is to progress to data structures, and more powerful applications.

It is a course for people who have zero coding experience. This was my first try at Python and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The instructor is really cool and uses lovely analogies. Since I had some prior coding experience in C++, it took me around a week to complete it all.

Thank you very much, Chuck Sensei and University of Michigan for this wonderful course so much! This course is quite useful for understanding the basic of the programming and python. I'm sure to continue to studying the advanced course of python programming. can't wait!

I believe that this course is excellent for begginers. I knew my way around things cause im a CS student currently expanding my skillset, but i got to admit the instructor made it look easy and simple explaining some otherwise complicated topics to grasp while in class.

I am a senior high school student and this is my first course on coursera. This course give me an introduction about what python looks like, and the professor's teaching style is quite appealing and humorous:) Anyway, i'll keep going on until i finish the whole courses.

Tracebacks are your friend, to a dyslexic they are just the the squiggly red lines we are used to seeing in word! Only a traceback actually tells you what is wrong! Thanks to everyone who made and maintains this course, it really does make coding available for everyone!

I tried learning Python from other sources, but the professor for this course went very methodically through the foundation required to program Python well. This gave a deeper understanding to the language and made me feel much more confident about actually programming.

One of the greatest teachings by a professor. Good method of teaching and thus my way of learning has been differed from the orthodox classroom learning. Thank You Coursera! i'm enjoying the video learning and I'm keen to learn other courses from this very organization.

I really liked the course. Its a good course to learn the basics of programming through Python. The thing I liked the most was the flow charts of each program that helped me to understand the concepts easily.

Thanks Dr. Chuck. I would like to visit you if I get a chance.

that was the best course that I ever had. the teacher was excellent examples were great. video, assignment, subtitle, tools, exercise,... everything was good. you learn the lessons so easily step by step and slowly, they know how to teach Python to everybody worldwide.

THis was an outstanding class. Splitting Python into two parts is a good idea. One of the areas that needs to be improved is access to the teaching assistants. Sometimes a whole day can wasted on a syntax error or autograder problems. Hence, some guidance is necessary.
