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.

Great course. Clear explanations with worked examples. The autograder is amazing - you can know immediately whether your codes are correct, and the autograder is flexible such that it accepts more than one way to arrive at the output.

This class is well crafted. I enjoyed it and thought it beneficial. It was a great jump point for understanding Python. I would recommend for anyone looking to get started in Python with a general understanding of systems and Bash.

Excellently paced for a complete beginner. Other courses I've taken are much faster paced, it was nice to get a background on some procedures and functions that were glossed over quickly in other courses I've worked through in Python.

Dr.Chuck is amazing, I learned a great deal from his course materials and I am inspired from me myself tagging along all the way through the end of the course. Now I would love to continue discovering more in the world of programming!

Very helpful and clear instructions. I had audited other courses and the assignments did not give enough information and i ended up stopping part way. This is my first completed coursera course and its all thanks to the great teacher!

This course is crafted very beautifully and Dr.Chuck has done a fantastic job in explaining the various basic elements that form the base of Python Language . Looking forward to enrolling in other Coursera courses in the days ahead :)

Very useful introduction to Python for non-programmers as you'll learn not only basic functions but also get answers to the 'nagging questions' about how Python, or programming in general, works at all in the form of simple analogies.

The instructor is able to explain the materials clearly and interestingly at the same time. The pace is little bit slow, but it is perfect for students who knew nothing about programming and python. Can't wait to start my next course.

It is a wonderful experience in learning python. Professor Severance is such an interesting guy and his teaching technique is brilliant and suitable for almost everyone, including students majoring in CS or just programming beginner.

This is an excellent course for EVERYBODY, no matter where you are in your programming track. If you have not programmed, this is a great starting point. If you have been programming for years, it help to relate to those that haven't.

This Python programming language course is new for me. I have learned coding very easy way. The trainer is an excellent teacher, he demonstrates in a simple way. Python for Everybody is the best course for beginners to learn coding.
