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.

This course is extremely effective in the way it teaches Python. Charles Russell Severance spends a lot of time explaining concepts and helping his students better understand what they are working on. I also really liked the structure of the course as it allowed me to stay focused and meet deadlines much easier. Great course for those who want to learn more about Python!

Excellent Course...! Course content and Course flow is right up to the mark for beginners and persons like me who are totally newbie for Python and are not having background in Computer Science. Dr. Chuck is Outstanding. The way he designed this course and explains everything is way better then any course taught online for python beginners. I am highly satisfied with it.

Dr Chuck is one of the best teachers that anybody can definitely find for learning Python and programming as a whole. He is very thorough with the subject matter and very much helps you to improve as a programmer. Quite a few more exercises can have been more better as a whole for improving as a programmer. Still an awesome introduction to the work of python programming.

This was very helpful! The lecture was easy to follow, and all the materials including quiz and assignments were extremely helpful for me to try what I've learned from the lecture. I highly recommend this course to anyone who has interests in learning python, but hesitating because of the fear of learning unfamiliar stuff. Looking forward to taking other courses as well!

First of all, I would like to thank Dr Severance for this amazing class. It is an amazing opportunity for people who want to learn the very basics of Python programming ; Python for everybody course is the right way to choose. Courses are explained in a simple way, and it is meant for people with no programming experience at all. I would definitely recommend this class.

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude towards Dr. Charles Severance sir for providing free and worldwide education. Through your courses , I am becoming familiar with Python and able to learn many new things about it. It's really helping me in understanding as well as clearing the concepts.

Thanks a lot Sir for providing knowledge as well as scholarship.

I have yet to see a better beginner's course, especially for people that are completely new to programming. Its contents are more than enough for a "getting started" course.

Most importantly, the instructor's teaching method is second to none. He is able to break down concepts that would typically seem confusing to most beginners in a very simplified and accurate manner.

I can't imagine a better introduction to programming. The instructor was knowledgeable, on point, engaging, and explained the reasons/the WHY behind what we were learning. The course book is excellent, as are the course exercises. Thanks to this course, I feel confident in my ability to do basic programming tasks and encouraged to keep learning and growing these skills.

I've been trying to get into programming for years(!),but have failed over and over because I thought it was boring and I just couldn't wrap my mind around its purpose. It wasn't until this course that I was able to get as far as I've gotten. The instructor is excellent and made seemingly difficult concepts very easy to understand. Highly recommended. Thank you, Prof S!

Its a beginner way to learn python easily and efficiently. The working modules are very efficient from the chapters we learn the day and helps us to recollect the topics we learnt so far. Prof. Chuck is amazing , he always taught in simple yet in interesting. Thank you for the this Course, University of Michigan. Grateful to Coursera for providing me the financial aid.

This was a very well-structured course by Dr. Chuck. I have done programming before but not in python language. Some concepts were confusing to me before which were cleared while taking the course. Even if you are not from science background I don't think you would have any problem understanding the concepts. Thanks for designing a course like that. I've learned a lot.

I would take this opportunity to extend my gratitude for Mr. Charles to help us understand the entire course with precision. He kind of explains complex and difficult stuffs in a manner that the listener grabs it immediately. All the slides and the content were thoughtfully prepared so as to teach all the possibilities one could face while writing a code. Thanks a lot!

Several years ago I could barely operate a computer beyond online shopping and drafting a letter using Microsoft Word. Now I am able to write simple codes; this has given me valuable insight into the various types of technology I rely on day to day. If this course can teach me how to code using Python, then it really must be for everyone. I highly recommend this class!

I have never learned python before this class, and when i finished this class, I think this is very useful to me that I realize the basic conception of python . Now I can write some basic programs by myselfs.

I will give this course 5/5 stars because the professor's teaching is very clearly. I can totally understand what he said and how should I thinking as a programer.

Great course for programming beginners. Professor Chuck does a great job starting with the basics. Programming is essential and the course does a good job at making you think without rote memorization. The assignments encourage one to think about the process and how one can apply the learned material to a given problem. 100% recommend to anyone wanting to learn python.

This course is very clear, elaborative and explains basics very nicely. Especially the Professor is very interactive and is providing a lot of insight into each and every topic with apt examples and comparisons. I feel very blessed to be a student in this course. I hope with some more practice and logical thinking I can achieve my goal of learning and coding in python.

A great course to start learning the methods of computer programming and also a perfect platform to revise and re-memorize programming logic and skills. Thank you Dr Chuck for such wonderful presentation and making python learning such a fun. The motivational talks by some of the pioneers in modern day production indulged me to think different and move forward in life.

I started this course with a healthy bit of skepticism. I never thought that in the course of 7 weeks this baby boomer would be able to sufficiently gather a basic understanding of programming and actually write simple scripts. But many thanks to Dr Chuck's visuals, and detailed explanations this course was enjoyable and rewarding. On to the next Python course !

Estoy muy contenta de haber trabajado en este curso. La felxibilidad de realizar el curso a cualquier hora es muy vaiolosa para mi. El Prof. Chuck es fantástico! es la primera vez que logro entender cabalmente cómo funciona el flujo en python, muchas gracias por los ejercicios sugeridos y explicados. Recomiendo mucho este curso a todo el que desee comenzar con Python.
