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.

It is super easy and clear. The class is perfectly deisigned for people who do not have little coding experience. The only pity is that the class is wordy ( but of course, the purpose is to make coding fun). I will highly recommended this course.

Provides the very basics of Python. Lectures were colourful and easy to understand and the assignments were sufficient and helpful. Also provides bonus videos which are very informative.

The course could have progressed a lot faster in my opinion.

Realmente fácil de seguir y de entender. Ya había dado este temario en la universidad, pero recordarlo me ha sido útil para asentar totalmente las bases de estos conocimientos, y este curso me ha resultado la mejor opción para ello y para avanzar.

Professor Charles Severance is a delightful guide for Python, has a genuine infectious passion for the subject that has made completing the course an absolute joy. I very much look forward to the next courses within this specialization. Thank you.

I learned a lot from this course, having already used python before to write and define functions within my graduate courses. I believe this course will help to verify what I have learned and give me continuing opportunities as a lifelong learner.

It's my first time on Python and I was scared to not be able to understand how a programming language works. Nevertheless, the course is well structured and exciting specially due to Dr. Chuck's teaching. The best is when the assignment ends well.

Professor Severance did an excellent job at explaining and demonstrating the concepts in this course which made it easier for me to grasp the subject. This course was challenging, but rewarding as I successfully completed each quiz and assignment.

Professor Severance is a appreciably comical man and I've found it very easy to grasp concepts in Python programming under his guidance. I like the pace of his video lectures and suggest that he maintain this level of concision mixed with clarity.

The course is fantastic! Even though you have never heard about programming. The professor is awesome and really clear in his explanations. It seems to me like a real time lecture: whatever is my question, he answers it on the very next minute! :)

This course has taught me so much and challenged me in ways I didn't think code would. It's exciting to understand what Python can do and what you can make it do. This course covers the basics with difficult challenges and a great instructor. :)

Love the way the instructor delivers the information. Great instructor. The assignments require more information than that have been explained in the videos. The final project requires knowledge on appending the user input which wasn't discussed.

I liked this course very much, and I want to thank Coursera for providing this kind of information in this quality

The thing I liked the most was the method of Tests and Assignments

I advise anyone who wants to learn programming to take this course

I liked how the instructor broke down each topic in simpler terms. Personally I hate it when other professors use complicated terms, it is a hassle to me since I have to pause and then search for its meaning. I truly enjoyed learning this course.

This course was so understandable, more like the instructor made this course live up to the name - Programming for Everybody. I, a complete novice in Python, found wanting myself to learn more and more from the same instructor. Kudos to Dr Chuck!

I was novice to programming. Despite my hectic schedule of working (I am heading a department in a technical institute), Dr. Chuck made to understand the basics of Python I could complete the course in about 5 weeks. Planning to take next course.

The Overall Course is Perfect and the way instructor clears his message to the students is unique. The Interview videos in the course motivate students to learn more. I would suggest students to take this course before this course is worth taking

Great course for beginners who are learning programming new as well as for those who know programming but want to learn python. With help of this course I easily learned the basics of python and hope to learn more from 'Programming for Everybody'

Thanks for giving me this golden opportunity and I loved the way you taught me. My future goal is to be a Data scientist and I am gonna be back for the Data structure classes. Again Thanks a lot for teaching me what is Python in such an easy way.

This course was awesome. I've studied some Python, but Dr. Chuck was an excellent instructor and made it very easy to understand concepts that might be confusing to a new developer. I would recommend this course to anyone wishing to learn Python.
