Dr. Chuck makes it easy to wrap your head around the (initially) obtuse language of Python, that humans use to issue commands to machines. Just remember, Traceback Error is not to be feared, but to be expected!

An overall great teacher and interesting material provide a pleasant learning experience. I definetly recommend this class to anyone who like to have a structured class with the freedom to choose when to learn.

Basic and innovative. The very first lecture that introduces us "What python is" is especially interesting and fundamental. The discussion about the essence of one programming language is helpful for beginners.

Nice course! The instruction is clear and fun. I enjoy the "interaction" with Dr. Charles Severance during the lecture. And I really like the bonus videos, like interview with the creator of python every week~

A very basic beginners entry into computer programming.

If you are a beginner this is the place to start. If you have some experience then you may find this course a bit simple (but a refresher is always useful)

Excellent professor and the last problem, 5.2, was especially challenging. Great course for Python beginners, especially when bundled with CodeAcademy's Python beginner course. Highly recommend Professor Chuck.

This is a great course!! It moves a good pace and allows those with full time job to continue to learn and sharpen their skills. I love the material that they make available to the students, it is very helpful!

I really like the course; it is self-paced one can come and learn anytime he/she wants and thats so great. our course teacher is sooo good . keep up the good work, i hope i will continue on the specialization.

I likes this course because of it's easy to understand, even when you don't know anything about programming. The instructor (Charles Severance) is easy to understand and he keeps it fun to work on this course.

Starts off with the most basic concepts that one needs to know before diving into the world of programming. Professor is fun and explain everything in a way that it stays with you beyond the classroom as well.

Great course to start learning Python at beginner level. The course is well structured with videos, assignments & then tests finally getting certification with pass percentage. So happy that I took the course.

If you want to learn the fundamentals of programming in Python in a quick manner, this is the course for you. But if you already know the fundamentals, just look for a free tool to help you learn the language.

A great place to learn python and other programming language. I'm so happy to learn basic of python. Looking further to continue some more programming courses here. I'd like to give special thanks to Coursera.

Loved everything about: The exercises were difficult enough. The lecture videos were easy and interesting to follow through. The instructor was fun and relatable. One of the best MOOCs out here on the internet

Very amazing course! I didn't know Python language, but I'm not beginer in computer programming and I may say that the introduction to Python and, overall, to fundamentals of computer programming is very good.

First of all thank you so much for improvising my knowledge to Next extend. This is the best in everything I really mean a lot it's been perfectly good in everything like teacher, guilding, responding ....etc.

this course is mainly useful for the beginners who doesn't know the basic about python or any other language, the explanation of the topics are very good and thanks for the awesome materials which are provided

This course was very helpful. I learned a lot and love this course. Dr.Chuck is a great teacher. His explanation is very good. If anyone wants to learn python from scratch I will definitely suggest his course.

I just want to thank the "University of Michigan" for providing us this course and the instructor Sir Charles Severance has nailed the course with his teaching. The course is interactive though it is not live.

One of the best course I have ever encountered. Thank you Dr. Chuck. I will finish every course you have on this platform. Hope in near future, I could learn personally from you by visiting to your university.

The course is awesome if got stuck there are staffs to help it out. But I suggest please provide the solution to each assignment in learners' mail who have completed the course. Or the learners who ask for it.

Great course to get started with Python for both who are completely new to programming as well as those who have some experience in some other programming language like me. Looking forward to learn a lot more!

This course was amazing. I have learnt a lot of new things about programing. Though I had a previous experience with what programing is but this course cleared most of the tough parts I didn't understand then.

I never took a course from Severance before and I must say I am really impressed with him. He can explain and make you understand something in a fun and good way. It's been a pleasure to learn Python with him!

Everyone think that learning a program language is very tough.

But Python made it all inverse it is very fun to learn this language and Dr.Chuck was good enough to train this course to learners. I love Coursera
