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 is deep in content, but the explanation is simple, and it really taught me the method of programming, which is very good.

The tutor's teaching was very kind and helped me finish the whole course smoothly. Thank you.

Good course for those who want to learn a new language. The instructor is very good when it comes to explaining concepts, He uses real-time scenarios for explaining the concepts which helped me to understand a concept quickly.

Marvelous! It's such a great MOOC. Charles explains everthing with simply words and everybody can undestand (even if you don't have any experience with Python). I recommend attend this course because programming is the future.

Great course to have a clear introduction to Python. The course is very well paced and consists of ample examples to make the concepts very understandable and challenging at the same time. Glad to have enrolled in this course.

The way in which Mr. chuck explains is amazing it feels like a friend is explaining to us which makes it very simple for us to understand. The quality of education provided by the University of Michigan is really good as well.

Nice course to start in python programming benefits. It was really easy to complete at first and very complete with ideas and info about the language. Internalize the knowledge by the guidance of Dr. Chuck it was really great!

As a complete beginner, it was exactly what I was looking for. It showed you the basic skills to learn Python while also pushing you to think critically with those skills to solve problems and build things. Highly recommended!

The professor was an excellent educator, learning me thing that I have not understood in other similar courses. He was taking the time to explain the small important details that other teachers may assume everyone understands.

Course was taught very nicely by our professor. The course covers the basics about python which can be taken by anyone who known a little bit about any language. You will be taught from very base so you do not get any problem.

Really helpful and friendly to bigginers. I had no coding experience before but I found the course easy to follow and it really strikes my interest on coding! I will definitely check other courses related to python and coding.

Charles is a fun and engaging instructor. The material is clear and the exercises are challenging enough but not impossible to keep you motivated and pushing through. Looking forward to the next course in this specialization!

It gives very clear and solid bases to learn to progam in Python. I already knew how to program before doing this course, but I wanted to learn Python. With this I believe I have a good understanding on how to write on Python.

I absolutely love it and I'm gonna keep going, becoming a Python programmer that would make Dr. Chuck beam with pride! I'm super stoked about this journey and I won't stop until I've mastered Python like a pro. Let's do this!

First of All I would say thanks to my teacher Dr. Charles Russell because his teaching style was very good and along with learning I have enjoyed this course. That was my first online course overall experience was very good.

100% Recomendable, no solo aprendí a programar en python, sino que aprendí la lógica de programación. Si bien los cursos son inglés los subttítulos son muy adecuados, las presentaciones ayudan mucho y Chuck es un MAESTRO!!!.

Explained all the stuff that many other course skip. The course dives into the concept and the how-to get setup to code, and the basics of coding. It was entertaining, I learned a lot, and I'm ready to now learn a lot more!

It is the first course that I completed in Coursera. I really love the way how Mr. Charles delivers lessons through 7 weeks. It's freaking funny, easy to understand, he is really patient to explain each section in the course.

I cant think about a better way to learn Python. The instructor makes you feel quite confident and explains details in various ways. Also the external tool is very useful given it allows you to actually apply what you learnt.

This really is geared for people with no experience in computer science or coding -- some of the explanations and concepts seemed very basic to me -- but it would be perfect for someone completely new to computer programming.

Excellent course. The topics were explained in very detail. This course is suitable even for a newcomer in programming who has not dealt with any programming in his/her life. Thank you Dr. Charles Severance. You are the best.
