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.

This course was awesome, I have learned lots of things about python in this course, like data structures, different modules, defining functions etc. I would like to give thank to Coursera and Dr. chuck for this wonderful course.

As an Electrical Engineer I found this course easy to follow. I had difficulty with understanding the way loops work which I overcame with this course. Clearly explains the order in which instructions are executed. Very helpful.

I'm a total beginner and I really enjoyed this course. It's challenging enough to be interesting but not so hard that it gets scary. Lectures are clear, the book is great and Dr. Severance is a great teacher. Highly recommended.

What I loved about the course is it started from the very basic, I've also wanted to program but I've felt the topics were very complicated, but after Sir's explanation I know understand a lot of topics I once found complicated.

This is a great course. It is well-designed to deliver the core knowledge in a short time. The quiz and assignments are very helpful to use the knowledge I learned in real practice. I will keep learning and get the certificate.

An excellent, clear introduction for people who are brand new to programming. If you've done a significant amount of programming before, you may find it a little slow paced, but it's always good to remind yourself of the basics.

This first series is the most basic Python. The professor gave the lecture in a very clear and dynamic way. I really enjoy the whole learning process and I am expecting to learn more advanced knowledge in the following lectures!

I never thought to be able programing on Python so quickly (2 weeks).

Each lecture is very clear, indications are very useful no waste of time... at the end: no regrets.

Thank you Dr Severance and Coursera to give me this chance!

Dr. Chuck rules! He is such an engaging instructor, he makes learning Python fun. I have tried many courses and gotten discouraged but I am sticking with this one until I get it right. Thank you, Dr. Chuck, for being so awesome!

This is a very easy to understand course, suitable for people who have no or some computer knowledge, and the teacher's teaching style is humorous and easy to accept. With appropriate exercises after class, people benefit a lot

I know MATLAB perfossionally and I thought Python is different but when I started to learn Python I figure out that both of them are the same and it helped me to learn it faster. I believe that this course is the best to start.

Dr. Chuck has a deep knowledge of Python, and can explain a very complex topic in ways that are understandable and meaningful. The quizzes and homework support the lectures, making it more likely the knowledge will be retained.

Wonderful course, excellent Instructor, thank you, Dr Charles Severance. Looking forward to data structure after November. I need the course for the optimization of resources. Currently using Lingo which I also like.

Thank you!

I really enjoyed this course, well structured for beginners. My recommendation is that add additional practice exercises after the end of every video so that students can practice what they learn before going to the next video.

First of all, Thank You Professor and Coursera for making this Awesome Course.

I learn it too fluently which I didn't expect.

I think that Learning Python will be too difficult for me but this Course proves me wrong.

Thanks a lot

The best course I ever did on coursera. I started this course in python with zero knowledge and Charles has just made this so interesting that now I don't want to stop. If anyone has to learn Python, this is the place to start.

It was a great beginner in the course. Our teacher was able to provide great examples and teach how certain variables, functions, etc. worked. I learned a great deal from this course and would recommend it to beginners as well.
