It was a good introductory-level course and an overall good way to make it interesting. It was well designed and delivered. Being an educationist and an experience of 20 years, I think, instructor justified with these contents. Thumbs Up.

Thank you very much. I will definitely try to complete the whole specialization of Python.

After trying tutorial after tutorial and exploring many different resources to learn Python, I have finally found one that works! This is a very fun course, and the free textbook is simply incredible.Gives an interesting way to learn python and also provides online platforms to work with assignments. Easy to take in the basics.

It was a beautiful course and Sir Charles is one of the most beautiful and humble teachers i have ever seen in my life.I really am in a great sorrow that I didn't get his class in person and I'd love to get one.I look forward to all the courses that are offered by University of Michigan and Charles.I loved this course honestly.

It had been a great experience learning the basics of python via this class. The teaching is good and very easy for even a beginner to understand without any difficulty. I would suggest anyone who wants to learn basics of python, go for it. The teacher knows his materials and teaches in a friendly and easily understandable way.

Great course, excelent and simple explanations.

I'm familiar with most of the stuff here from other programming languages, but the course was more than able of pointing those small details that make python syntax different from others.

Thank you Mr. Severance for this introduction into python, made in a simple and concise manner.

Professor Charles explains the subject at hand in detail while making sure that students aren't overwhelmed by the vastness of the computer language. The assignments are a tad bit easier than I would have hoped but the videos and quiz are more than thorough. Resources provided are great and it has been a good experience so far.

Clear and concise introduction to python basics. For beginners, just be aware that this course will not enable you to program in Python well enough for most real-world applications. If you really want to learn Python, take the rest of the courses offered through the specialization to understand how to utilize the language well.

Really liked the way Mr. Severance approaches the problem and his methods of teaching. He is by far the goofiest teacher on coursera which is unique in a way and also desirable I think. He makes learning fun.

Great Job. All the best for future courses. Will surely want to take another course on python taught by Mr. Severance. :)

As I chose to study Python in Coursera I gladly chose University of Michigan. The overall experience and journey is very enjoyable while at the same time very informative. A must choose course and university! I studied this course for fun and I learned a lot. I think I really did great and passed the course with flying colors.

Actually, this my first Coursera course to ever take, I had zero Python experience, but this is a great introduction to Python and, without any doubt, it motivates me to delve deeper and learn more about Python. Finally, great thanks to Dr. Chuck and all whoever supports these courses, you really made it special and different.

It is a really good course, I've learned a lot about python programming, and you don't need to be a english fluenty speaker to get in this course, actually I have improved my skills in English while I was watching the classes and reading the extra lectures material, I really recommend this course, Thank you all from Coursera!

This was my first programming course that I've ever taken. I was happy to find that the pace of the course allowed me to also focus on my full time job, and the instructor had such a down to earth way of teaching. I've enrolled in the specialization associated with this course and look forward to completing the next 4 courses!

This class was absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend it for the person who wants to pursue this field, the person who has a general interest and wants to see if they would like it, or the person who just wants a basic understanding to start exploring on their own. I can't wait to continue the progression of these courses.

The professor is super easy to follow and the class is very easy to understand for all backgrounds. This is a very basic course, so if you have coded in other languages before, you're going to breeze through the course. Having said that, it is a good course to learn the basic syntax to do loops, functions, ifs, etc. in Python.

This course is both comprehensible and well-organized. The instructor is so nice that I had a great time enjoying the videos. There is only one problem which is actually not particularly attributed to this course. The coursera website sometimes got so hard for my browser to open, so I had to download the videos when it worked.

I like this course a lot, i understand it's an entry level course so i don't mind going though everything in detail, but as i was already confident in C and Matlab i had to skip most of the basic explanations of how computer works and basic understanding of what programming is. The teacher is very good and very easy to follow.

Very good class. I had previous programming experience in other languages, and this class helps you get the basics going very quickly with Python. I really appreciate the recommendation of the text editor "Atom" as well. I think it's important to be using something that is supported by the class, as opposed to your own editor.

I am completely satisfied with the course. I think that I have built a strong foundation for Python Programming. I fully enjoyed every single bit of the lectures by Dr. Chuck, quiz and assignments at the end of chapters. Auto-grading system is yet another big advantage.

Thank you Dr. Chuk, University of Michigan and Coursera!!!

I reviewed in korean for korean mooc learner.

전 이 강의를 통해 파이썬을 처음 접하고 있습니다. 이 강의에서 제공하는 교재와 더불어 출판된 한글 교재(따로 적지 않습니다.)로 같이 공부하고 있습니다. 한국에서 출판하는 일반적인 교재와 다른 구성이 개인적으로 마음에 들었구요, 다른 교재에서 본 적이 없는 몇몇 코드도 신선했습니다. 전체적인 강의 레벨도 아직은 초급에 맞추어져 있어서 공부하기 좋았습니다. 강의하는 Dr. Chuck의 설명도 쉽고 명쾌하여 초심자로서도 크게 부담없이 강의를 들을 수 있었습니다. 영어도 크게 부담 없을 것이라 생각합니다.

Really good intro into the Python language. Seems simple enough for students that have never programmed or scripted before. Very descriptive and helpful lessons along with interesting bonus material.

Can be kind of slow or simple for students with a background in programming but a nice reintroduction if you are out of practice.

very good course for beginners.

and I would like to put some suggestions:

1. might be worthy discussing a little about type conversion samples like: x= "1"; x = int(x);

2. for HW 5.2, if user put floating number, it will pass the try, but actually we need to output integer. which is easy to fix but might cause frustration

thanks!

I never thought that learning something like programming could be this much easy and fluid! Not for a single second I felt bored. I am feeling a new window of my life just has opened.

Many many Thanks, Love and Gratitude to the course instructor Dr. Charles R. Severance. He is a perfect example how this thing should be taught!

I have experience programming in a few languages including Python, so I found much of the course do be review for me. I did learn some new things though and I like the way he teaches. I've only used online Python tutorials before, so it was nice to have a better structured course. I plan on continuing with his Python courses.

I consider this course a great and meaningful way to start programming with Python. Each and every week the classes and exercises were quite useful and didactic. I enjoyed learning the principles and exploiting the potential of this programming language. I really hope new learners can be as amazed as me throughout the course.

This course is easy to understand. Instructor Charles has put his great effort to make this course one of the best among online python courses and he has made the course for everybody to understand. The course can get even better if the assignment's descriptions are written in easier to understand English, however, It's okay.
