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 just awesome. Sir I truly feel that you have done a wonderful job in establishing this course. The content of this course is taught in a very easy way and so coding doesn't seem to me as much terrifying as it was before for me.

It was a great time learing about python as a beginier. Thankyou Dr. Charles Severance for introducing me to this language in such a good way. This Course taught me the basics of python like usage of variables, functions, loops and much more.

For someone who never coded before this was a great way of learning ,I finished the first 7 weeks in three days. keep in mind i spent between 5-6 hours a day and wrote notes while watching the video.I would recommend this than reading a book.

What an excellent professor! He starts with the basic of the basic material, and at no point does any of it seem overwhelming even for a newbie like me. His vision, ideology, and passion is almost palpable. Looking forward to the next course!

Really helpful and well explained. Was finding it hard to believe that as a beginning, I could start grasping the ground concepts of programming. And it is possible. Thank you Dr. Chuck, Coursera and University of Michigan for the oportunity.

Dr. Chuck makes the subject matter fun and easy to learn. Just need to follow along and he helps make sense of the control flow. Cannot wait for the next courses to expand on this foundation of Python knowledge of Python. Thanks Dr. Chuck.

Very good course! Amazing! I can easily follow it without much pressure and I am pretty sure I have learnt what I get from the class. The book attached by the course is also very good. I believe it would help me build a fundamental of Python!

I've started Python Basics course various times offered by many others but was never hooked to it as I was to this one. It was simplified for a non-programmer and alas I have made a head start with Python. Thank You for this wonderful course.

This is a great course. The teacher not only knows his material, but has a lot of experience working with first time programmers and so knows what errors they are likely to make and what questions they are likely to ask and addresses them all

If you don't know how to program, this is a great introduction. For me since I know how to program (but not in Python), it was an introduction to the Python language. I appreciated being able to run lectures at 1.25 speed to complete quickly.

A very good intro class for Python. Dr. Severance gives a detailed and interesting explanation for definitions and usage. Works great for people barely have programming background. Hope there would be more assignment or exercise for practice.

I recommend it to absolute beginners to programming. For those new to Python but otherwise, good programmers, this course gently introduces you to Python in an effortless manner. great course for programming beginners and those new to python.

This was my first ever course on Coursera and believe me I had an amazing learning experience I feel like there could have been no one other than Dr chuck who could have made me understand these python programming concepts in a more fun way.

Hi,

it’s an awesome program definition for 'def' was great because i have watched so many videos about 'def' none of information is not enough to understand it for me, but in this program i got the answer.

Thanks for Professor and the Teams.

Very good course! But of course, different ones offer different perspectives, and one cannot cover them all. So it might not hurt to take other courses at the same level in the future. But this one is solid in offering substantial materials.

I am very happy with learning the course. The professor is very good at explanation. He goes through every point in detail without letting us confuse. I could literally spend more time in listening and increase my skills. Thanks To Coursera.

Excelente curso. El instructor explica el material de una forma muy amena, por lo que el material no se siente pesado. De igual forma, los ejemplos que da son muy claros y concisos, por lo que no se batalla en entender el material explicado.
