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.

A very well designed and streamlined course for anyone looking to begin with Python. Prof. Chuck is an amazing instructor and explains every bit quite nicely. Assignments and quizzes are also well designed and very useful to supplement the learning.

Really good for people who have no programming experience and even better for people who know other programming languages because this course makes it easier to understand python fastly. The instructor is the best python instructor i have ever seen.

I have never been introduced to python before, in this course, I had a hard time studying. I need to watch the videos again and again. Not just python, I haven't been introduced to programming before, it's a very good introduction to my programming.

For an individual to get started with programming, this is the best course with all the fundamental concepts explained clearly with simple examples. This course also teaches how to program and implement all the theoretical concepts very efficiently.

its amazing to have such teachers to help students from the scratch.although Im an engineer and have learned the basics of java and C-language but for a fresher its also the best way to start the python career. I'm looking forward to all the courses

This is not my first programming class, but I did appreciate Dr. Chuck's approach to the material. I believe his style makes the subject matter much better approachable for persons not already indoctrinated to the art and profession of programming.

Nice course. Useful for a complete beginner to the world of programming. Not so much for a programmer who's trying to learn a new language as the course tends to focus a lot on the very basics of programming and it might get boring for a programmer.

I am very satisfied with the course. Our Mentor Charles Severance sir explained the entire course in a very organised and in a very sequential manner. I am extremely satisfied with coursera as well and Iooking for exploring more courses on coursera.

ONE OF THE BEST WAY TO LEARN.WHATEVER IT IS IT'S ALL ABOUT THE WAY OF TEACHING BY PROF.CHARLES AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN OR EXPERIENCED SUCH AN PLATFORM WHERE A TEACHER COMES TO LEVEL OF STUDENTS AND TAKES AN INITIATIVE TO TEACH HIS CONCEPT PRACTICALLY

This is a really clear and understandable introduction to Python. Dr. Chuck is the perfect guy to teach it. You'll not only learn how to write some good Python and solve some problems, but to understand the meaning and the 'why', not just the 'how'.

The course is very basic and a perfect start for a newbie and my major takeaway is learning how to identify silly mistakes which I learned during my assignments. The instructor is very good and spoon-fed everything, hence a great start for a newbie.

I thought It would be difficult to learn new language but as I went through the courses thoroughly, it was quite more precise and efficient. Thanks for the course, I suggest there is no regret in taking this course for beginners from any background.

This is the best introduction to python that I've seen. I've completed Codecademy's python courses and attempted to learn from various webpages and books, but it wasn't until this course that I finally understood how python works. Thanks, Dr. Chuck!

If you know nothing about programming and want to get started, this is the perfect course for you. Mr.Chuck, the instructor, explains in the simplest way possible and provides multiple examples for each chapter.

Definitely worth the time and effort!
