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.

This course has exposed me to the basics of the Python programming language.

I have tried to learn three or more programming languages but

I made it this time. Thanks to our Instructor Charles Severance, Coursera and

the University of Michigan.

Awesome explanation from Dr Charles although I did feel like the exercises were more complex than the examples given, my feeling is that it wouldn't hurt to just do examples as complicated as the exercises , other than that, it was all amazing!

Overall the course is great and the teacher is amazing.

Suggestions: might need a video to talk about the last assignment, coz even after I got it done, there are still some confusion, and really hope there could be one more video to explain it.

A highly encouraging course for people who have not interacted with code before. Professor Chuck's lectures were both concise, engaging yet professional. I will definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants a crash course on programming.

Great course for beginners. Not applicable for intermediate programmers but the video with the creator of Python, was awesome and very inspiring. The instructor was so cool. I love the course but the quiz and assignments seems really very easy.

I will definitely enroll to next level of this course. I spent 3 days to finish this "getting started" course without drop off. This showed the value of this course that a. bring me in the gate; b. keep me motivated; c. wider my view on coding.

Highly recommend this course to everyone who has little coding experience. The content is fundamental and useful. Love Dr. Charles's teaching method so much! And you can also attain great help from TA through attending weekly discussion board.

I didn't buy the certificate, but I really love this course!

Dr. Charles Severance explained python in a very interesting way so that we can understand it easily.

I will continue to other python courses he taught and enjoy my programming journey!

Amazingly simple (too simple at times) and easy to understand. This instructor is clearly passionate and knowledgeable about the subject, and makes the examples as funny and interesting as possible. I learned a lot and enjoyed every assignment.

Excellent for beginners and people who already have knowledge in programming but want to do a quick refresh. If you have programmed in a different language but a long time ago, watch in 1.5 speed and you'll finish the course in a week or less.

Great course for the beginners. Dr. Chuck's teaching style is very engaging & understandable. Examples & practices assignments help build deeper understanding. Bonus lectures & interviews especially of Python founders are like cherry on cake.

Wonderful course. Charles is a great professor for an amateur like me. Lectures are at the same time easy to follow, shorts, and enough to learn exactly the fundamentals in programming using Python. All the best from Uruguay, Germán Hernández.

A direct approach to Python programming language. I had taken another basic Python but it wasn't nearly as practical as this one. This is really a nice starting point for everyone who has an interest in starting learning any programming skill.

A wonderful course useful for beginners and the style of the lecturer is beautiful and interesting ...

But the level of translation in Arabic is not at the required level ...

However a useful course on which future information can be based ...
