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.

I love this class, and it makes to love python. If you guys do not know which course to take as a beginner, choosing this one is obviously the best choice for you. Also, a good teacher who make materials easier and more interesting to understand will help you think more on this.

A Great Course for absolute beginners who are starting their career with PYTHON.

Office hours, Introductory videos in between lectures gives more motivation to know more about the course.

Overall a Great Experience and looking forward to take more courses from Michigan University.

The course is totally worth one's time. Through his exceptional teaching ability, Dr. Charles is able to simplify the topic so that even a non-programmer would understand the fundamentals of the language. The quiz and assignments surely made sure that we understood the concepts.

Mr Chuck (The instructor of this course) is just awesome for the beginners and leveraging to the expert level. Despite, being so much educated he teaches like he's teaching to a 5-year old kid.Moreover, the interview with Mr Guido Van Rossum was just awesome and inspirational.!!

I genuinely appreciate how this course was taught to the students. I had zero experience in programming before I took this course and I am really glad that I learned so much after completing it. Professor Charles Severance is a very effective instructor. I recommend this course!

Dr Chuck is a brilliant teacher! He is very simple, humble and a wonderful sense of humour. I am thankful to Dr Charles and Coursera for making this easy and joyful to learn. The course also boosted my confidence in learning a programming language, so extra star for this course.

As a computer Science student i am learning many languages, this course helped me a lot and cleared all my doubts. I would strongly recommend this course for those who are willing to study python from basics. Also, it was a great journey with professor Charles Russell Severance.

I really enjoyed it! I'm quite new to this, but I had no problem understanding the content whatsoever. It took me some time to complete the assignment, but you have to be patient and keep in mind that you might mess it up 10 times before you get it right, and that's programming!

I think this python course is very helpful for me which taught me basics about python scripting. Indeed, I am a Environmental Science student and working knowledge of python is very important in this field. Overall, I am very thankful for providing financial aid for this course.

I really really love this course! This is my first time get in touch with computer related course. I thought I would be difficult and tough for me. But actually I found programming and python language really interesting! Thanks to this course a lot, and thanks to coursera a lot!

This is a great introduction to the Python programming language! You really don't need to know anything about computers or math to get through the course. Just get started, spend some time with it, and the end will come before you know it! I definitely enjoyed taking this class.

After this first course of five you will definitely have an understanding of what python is and how to utilize the language to begin interacting with it. Coming from zero knowledge prior to the course I feel confident enough to move forward and begin learning different concepts.

I've tried to learn programming through books and college courses. Unsurprisingly, all it takes me to get interested is to GOOD TEACHER. Dr. Chuck is a better instructor than I could've ever imagined for this course. I'm looking forward to these next parts of the specialization.

Great! I work at a tech company in a non-technical role. This course supplemented my knowledge that I've learned through osmosis; now I'm saying more of the technical terms when I'm speaking to my co-workers. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to level up their basics.

Thanks for the teacher's great instruction, I missed the first time to catch up the pace, but this second time try was finally completed.

It's quite interactive, feels like I'm sitting in the same room with the instructor, thanks greatly again and wish to learn more lessons soon.

I am really thankful to this course. The way it is created i never lost my interest in study & it was easy to understand. I tried learning python few times before from the several PDFs available online & lost interest within few hours. Thank you Charles for those lecture videos.

I already tried different courses on Python and they all were not really good or were tending in a direction that is not interesting for me. In this course it is not like that: I found it to be very informing and well structured. I learned a lot and will keep on learning Python!

Great course, made python learning challenging, but absolutely not terrifying. The assignments I felt were enough, nd look forward to trying out the capstone project when i have the available funds. Thank you so much Charles Severance for the intuitive and fun lectures and book.

I just finished the Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python) course. The way Dr. Chuck offers the course is a very appropriate way for you to complete it. I recommend taking that course before any other. Note: I will soon start the Python Data Structures course.

This is not only "getting started with python", it also will start from zero about programming.

Recommended for people who wants to start learning about programming. People already familiar who is looking to learn python might have an easier time and will be able to move faster.

The best of this course is actually the teacher, Charles knows how to keep his students entertained, laughing from time to time and of course learning each and every single session. He definitely makes Python look easy. Thank you so much for your effort, super enjoyable course!

This is a great course. Well taught and thorough. I love how much the instructor loves to teach and how he forms relationships with students across the globe. I also love how he has a very open personality and makes you feel like you can learn the content no matter who you are.
