It is an amazing course for beginners. Explained in detail and in the simplest way possible. For students with no prior knowledge of any programming this is the best course for python!!

Thanks for getting me going with online learning. I can see the old coding bug is back and I loved seeing small code blokes run. Excited to progress to the next phase of handling data.

Chales has to be the funnest lecturer i've come across, he's able to take the most complex subject and break it down to small understandable bits while throwing in bits of humor! Thanks

As a master candidate, this course is one of the most excellent courses I have ever taken! Python is a future common language, just like English, so I will try harder to learn it well.

This course teaches us the basics of programming. Being a non-programmer, I could easily cope with the course. I would really like to thank our mentors who have helped us to learn more.

The progress of the classes is slow, which enables students to follow the class perfectly. The lessons are pragmatic, which give our student an overall scene of the python language use.

This is perhaps the best course among all the courses (not just Python-related courses) I've taken on Coursera. The Powerpoint materials are well crafted and the instructions are clear.

Associate Professor Severence is very good in getting the message through. Lectures are very explanatory and Python itself is very interesting. Recommend to those, who love mathematics.

So approachable. Started the course on Friday and by Tuesday I had upped my game at work, scripting data manipulation that had taken hours previously. Looking forward to future courses.

Amazingly lucid. Instructed in such a comprehensive manner, which does not let a novice or a newcomer, wonder, as in what is happening....

Thank you so very much, Dr.Chuck and Coursera !

This course was amazing. Kudos to Dr. Chuck and Coursera for hosting it. The only improvement I could recommend would be to add more assignments/problem sets for practice of new skills.

I have experience with scripting, so most of the concepts weren't new to me. What I valued here was the Python-particular gotchas, such as indenting and adding colons to if statements.
