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.

pretty easy and clearly to get start with a program even you never try this before, especially , there are a lot of bonus that can expand your horizon about python or even the computer science. So, take a try if you never do programming.

Excellent! Even if it is an introductory course to programming in python, examples and exercises are a great challenge. Instructor teaches incredibly and invites to learn more as much programming as python language. Thank you very much.

Excellent course to get started with Python. I have no prior experience in the field of programming but this course was so easy to follow, had multiple practical exercises to solve, and most importantly, Prof. Charles is a great teacher.

Thanks to Dr.Charles Severance for his great method of teaching that let people even without strong background on coding pick up the lessons easily.

If you are new on coding, here is the best start without any fear of coding or confusion.

it kind of easy for me since i have some programing knowledge. but teacher tring really hard to make you understand basic concepts. so it is very good for beginners know nothing about programing. btw i spent a hour a day for only a week.

Great first course to start programming for the first time or to familiarize yourself with Python if you have experience. For the latter it will be a quick review (fun and interactive) and it will get you started on the syntax in Python.

I really learn a lot from this course. The professor declare those conceptions in a very detailed way. Although I have learned C++ before,I still get a lot and have a better understanding in programming. Next I will learn data structure.

I am excited to finally start learning Python and I found the structure and approach used in the first course in the series very easy to pick up and follow along. Thanks for making this Coursera experience interesting, engaging, and fun!

Great introduction to python. Good for everyone that never programmed before. And good for everyone that wants to learn the basic syntax of python. Beginners need 2-4 hours per week. Students with prior experience need 30-60min per week.

It was very useful to understand the first steps in programming and helping me to advance my analytical skills. I would recommend everybody to take this course, especially in today's society where computer programming is key for success.

Really good course for a person who is new to programming although writing assignments with the autograder is a bit irritating as it catches mistakes like an extra space or small and capital so make sure u take care of these small issues

Muy buen curso para empezar a aprender de Python y programación en general. El profesor es muy carismático y explica de una manera senzilla. Sigue un ritmo bueno, aunque para algunos puede ser lento. El curso del material está muy bien.

This was recommended to me after an IT course at my university. We received a brief overview of Python, and I asked my professor for additional learning material. This course satisfied my curiosity and taught me great, pracitcal skills!

Professor Severance goes on a bit much, but he gives you a lot of helpful information and really tries to teach you about the ideas behind the code, along with the nitty gritty stuff you have to say to make your computer understand you.

It is the interesting course that I've ever taken, and it is a more interesting course than the course I've taken in the university. I can say that it is a great opportunity to improve your programme language if you are not in CS major.

As a complete beginner to programming , this course serves as an excellent introduction to Python. The pace, content, length of videos, assignment are just right. Dr Charles made the whole learning experience even more fun and engaging.

My institute syllabus does not include python. This course gave me an opportunity to learn this language in an easy and efficient way. It was indeed an interesting course. The professor explained in a very easy way and learning was fun.

Very simple but effective course, I already had programming knowledge prior to this course, and seeing how Prof. Charles breaks things into small pieces was beautiful, he truly makes things easier for students and is a great instructor.

My best programming course ever. Chuck is an awesome instructor. I just love this. i must continue to the next part as well.

Course orientation and distribution of the topic were good. I must recommend starting python with this course.

This is an amazing course. When I started i knew nothing about programming, and now I understand how programming works and can make my own programms. The teacher is amazing and the course and resources are really good. Best course ever!
