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.

I am very much impressed with Dr Chuck as his method of teaching is phenomenal. Sometimes this course looks boring but Dr Chuck initiates some interesting topics and exercises. So auto-grader tool really helps and python is very interesting.

It is the best python introduction course i've ever learned. It makes you realize what is python and what we have to do with python. It was amazing.Now, I'm going to do the 2nd course of this specialization. Thanks to University Of Michigan.

Amazing course delivery, I have never understood programming easier than this, simple and easy to interpret and also slow paced for beginners to work on it. Loved it. Thank you so much sir for this wonderful course and excellent explanation.

The course has been designed in a comprehensible way which allows beginners to proceed without any confusions. I would recommend this course to anyone who would like to give a try to coding. Intuitive courses like this are really motivating.

The TA's are great. Quick to respond, and give insight without giving the answer. All the documentation has information worth reviewing, ie the chapters. I wish I had read the literature before watching the videos, but all in all it's great.

I loved it. I took a couple of other online "courses" before this one, but I liked this the best. I will be continuing on with the rest of the Python courses offered here. Thank you so much for creating such a great computer based course.

This is my first course in Coursera, it's so excellent a trip. The content is so friendly for the beginners to start with and the logic in teaching methods are nice, too. Hope someday I can continue my further study with again. Thanks a lot.

El curso es útil tanto para verdaderos principiantes que se introducen en programación como para quienes ya han programado en otros lenguajes. Clarísimo y magistral en la progresión del contenido y estructura de los conocimientos incluidos.

Relly love this course. Before I chose this course, I thought I am not the type of person who can grasp programming skills. I am 28 years old and never learned or contact anything related. I was really proud of myself to start this journey.

I was lost about how to start programming as I am graduating next year. I am glad that this course gave the boost up to practice more coding and stick into software engineering. Thanks a lot Professor Charles. It was impossible without you.

The course content is pretty concise. Because I have programming background of JAVA before, I can see the course is not only informative but also concisely concisely straight to the crucial point, although I am not familiar with the Python.

I have learn lot of things regarding python in this course including types of data types, variables, operators, loop and functions. Moreover, I would recommend this course to the freshers who are truly new to the programing and also python.

Dr. Severance is really engaging and he does a great job of explaining the concepts and he starts from the beginning - including how to open terminals and install python. In college, so many professors skipped those steps. Highly recommend!

In the certificate of coursera there is mentioned only the name of student but not mentioned from where that student belongs to and the institution of the student where he/she works/study and not any photo or signature of student.

Thank you.

AMAZING COURSE! For me as aa biologist who was always frightened by programming, it worked perfectly well.

Thank you for all the "python doesn't mean you are a bad person". It kept me motivated and helped me to believe that I can do coding.

Awesome course for beginners, even if you do not have any knowledge of programming, you can take this course as the course contents are taught from very basic level. The videos were explained very easily, it was fun while doing this course.

Good introductory class for Python programming language, though a little basic for my needs. I would have liked it to be coupled with the second course in the specialization, but ultimately that didn't detract from the utility of the class.

Thanks to Dr. Charles Severance, he conducted the course over python very nicely, this course helped me in knowing about python's basic and it helped to know detail about python program.

Once again a hartfull thanks to Dr. Charles Severance.

I have taken many Python courses, but taking this course from Dr. Chuck is like starting Python from scratch. Dr. Chuck doesn't assume that you know anything, which is great. I cannot wait to complete the other courses. Thank you Dr. Chuck.

The best Python course out there. I love this professor. I have tried many Python courses in the past from other sources, but I always got bored after the first initial sessions. Either too simple or too complex. This is perfect. Thank you!

This course enables us to get the basics quite quickly. As I have already experienced other programming languages, this was pretty easy to me. I am looking forward to getting to next chapters.

Thanks for your pedagogic approach of the course

This is a fantastic course for anyone who wants to learn more about the power of coding and has very little experience. The professor is funny and speaks in a way that is very easy to learn from and makes you want to continue learning more.
