I loved it! Dr. Chuck is extraordinary in his explanations. A great way to start on Python programming. As a person that hasn't programmed in years it was an encouraging and educational experience :-)

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.

First of all the instructor is great and his way of teaching is awesome. None of the lectures is boring and everything was so well explained.
The greatest thing about this course is that in this course the language is taught in such a simple way that even a person that has never used a computer can understand it.

Really love that there is a textbook that goes along with the course. I like to read the textbook along with the lectures and I really like having a reference for review in the months and years to come. Without a textbook we have nothing to come back to one or two years later when we want to refresh our memories.

Very well structured to give a basic understanding of python. Good ratio of worked examples to assessments, where the assessments force you to apply knowledge gathered throughout the videos and not simply copy worked examples. Instructor is very likeable and you can tell he is very passionate about his profession

This is the ideal course for a beginner. As I already knew the basics of C programming some of the concepts was already clear to me. Still I would recommend this course if you already know another programming language and trying to learn python. However in that case you will be able to complete the course early.

This course is amazing for every beginner who wants to step into the programming world. Anyone can learn the basics of programming from this course. Also, it has a playground (Online coding environment) to run your program and to test them. Very thankful to Instructor and Coursera for availing this course for us.

In the beginning, i knew nothing about python but now it is 20% . I think computer languages are difficult to peoples if they haven't learnt from good teachers like you because you have started this course from zero. you taught us the very very basic point.
so thankyou sir to make python easy understandable to us.

Very good one for the once who are starting fresh on this programming knowledge. I know couple of programming languages, but i wanted to learn python. So not a bad one, in fact it turned to be the best on for me. Now I'm pretty good with the basics as well and i would like to take this to next level.
Thank you :)

I really appreciated the structure of the course. All of the video content easily covered the topics needed for the assignments. I also find the course textbook to be incredibly concise and to the point. I didn't feel like any information was missing and it was very easy to navigate if I needed to find an answer.

This course is suitable for those who don't have any previous knowledge or very little knowledge of programming. And the instructor, Dr. Chuck is very funny and makes the concepts so easy to learn and interesting that the learning experience turns awesome! I really wish I could meet him and learn tonnes from him.

excellent videos by Dr chuck
although i will recommend this video to only beginners to programming.those who already have experience in c and java can fast forward the videos and complete just the assignments as a lot of stuff is same .overall very nice .ill definitely like to watch other videos related to python.

This is a great course. The teacher not only knows his material, but has a lot of experience working with first time programmers and so knows what errors they are likely to make and what questions they are likely to ask and addresses them all. He is fun to listen to. He was interesting and even funny at times

A wonderful, engaging and confidence-boosting introduction to Python programming for those new to programming. Great job! For more experienced coders looking to learn Python as a new language, it might seem slow but stick with it -- there are many syntax idiosyncracies of Python that are covered in the videos.

I liked the teaching style of the professor very much. He teaches the concepts very clearly and makes the session not boring by telling stories about old computer technologies. The assignments were good and made my mind refresh and apply the concepts I have listened to. Thanks to the system adopted by Coursera.

I am very happy with the course content and presentation. It really turned out like a Magic. I have done multiple courses and trainings both online and in-class, but the way this particular one was covered was exceptionally good. Thanks to Dr. Charles R Severance and Coursera for bringing this beautiful content.

A Very good introduction to basic programming of Python. Extremely helpfull for beginners who has no previous experience in programming.And Dr. Chuck is an excellent teacher.He explains the concepts in a simple way with proper examples. This course is highly recommendable for new learners. I enjoyed this course.

Professor Severance was a great teacher, and he was kind of a nerd. I say this in the most kind manner possible, because I enjoyed this class a lot and his mannerisms helped me focus. I enjoyed the examples he provided, and overall thought this course was an amazing supplementary course for my MTA certification.

Great class! and a thorough introduction to Python to people totally new to programming. I took this class after taking another intro to python (from another institution) which was so fast-paced and which skipped so many basic concepts that I could not complete the final exam. Thanks Mr Severance for this class.

It was really an amazing course I must say . I had been too afraid about programming language . So I took a daring challange in quarantine and Alhamdulillah successfully I am done with my course 1 . My instructor learned me in the easiest way . Thanks ! So from this inspiration I am going to take my 2nd course .

great course , really suggest this course if you are just starting with programming and have no previous experience of coding, the structure of the course is very systematic , helps a lot of keeping track in terms of what you have learnt and also , you will just be able to start coding at the end of this course.

Great. It is easy to understand. The course content is at the appropriate level. You can feel like improving step by step. And the assignments are well-designed to consolidate the knowledge. Overall I am satisfied with the course design and will continue with the following chapters despite the free trial passed.

This is a good programming course for a beginner. The instructor, Dr Chuck, is a great teacher. His teaching somehow manages me as a beginner to be a `real` programmer, following a good track, rather than a random track if we become a programmer by ourself (self-taught).
Thank you Dr Chuck, wish you good health

Enjoying the learning process already! The introduction made me want to get more involved in the learning process of python. It's normally hard for something or anything at that, to keep my attention long enough for me to learn anything. Thank you so far in making this experience feel a little more easy and fun.

Never thought I will be able to program but here I am.The lectures are easy to follow. The assignments are very hands on and aides what is taught in the lectures. The lectures are brief so you don't get bored. The mentor and other teaching staff are very prompt to reply and solve any doubts that you might have.

It is a very basic course for beginners, so the pace of the lectures is kind of slow and the content simple. However, most of the time, I found it very helpful and inspiring, because Prof. Severance explained everything in detail for beginners like me, and he was such a funny teacher! I quite enjoyed the course.
