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.

Dr. Chuck did a very good job for lecture teaching, it is easier for students to understand and catch up. Besides, those interview session with different founders and students are inspiring me as well. Appreciate that! Great job, keep it up, Dr. Chuck!!! thanks :)

This course was fantastic. It was the perfect balance of "Oh this is easy, this is easier...wait what is happening" Dr Chuck Severance is a great teacher. I will look for courses taught by him in the future, starting with the rest of this specialization.Thank you

Great introduction to programming, I brought the course book, it makes the assignments easier and the content is better understood and retained. The pdf version is available free, but for me having a paper copy is just easier to flick through, read and reference.

Is an excelent introductury course for people interested in programming. Even, if the programming language is Python, the course gives the student the base of programming in an easy and understandable way.

I am happy to have done this course.

Thanks for the teacher.

This starter course is excellent. Very comprehensive for me who only knows basic programming from high school. It was well-designed. The lecture is easy to follow and humorous sometimes. This is just the beginning though, there's still more courses to accomplish.

As a person who wants to learn programming and all other stuff related to it, this is a great start.

The lectures are well thought out, with proper pacing and order, they don't suddenly jump to another topic that's completely unrelated or advanced.

Would recommend!

An enjoyable introduction to python programming. The learning curve can feel a little steep as the course moves on, particularly if you are completely new to programming. However, Charles Severance is a good teacher and he makes the course enjoyable and engaging.

Prof. Charles Russell Severance is one of the best teachers i have encountered. I am amazed he had me engaged in video lectures as it is difficult to have students interested in offline classes in the first place. Thank you sir for a lovely learning experience.

Great course! It was exciting, and it really helped me to develop my abilities and start programming. The professor has a lot of knowledge of the topic, and he explains each one in a way that is understandable even if you have no previous experience with coding.

Charles provides a clean and fast introduction to Python, going all over the basics like print, for loops and iteration, conditionals, logical and math operators, variable declaration etc. It is a good choice if you have never programmed, or programmed in python.

The course with Professor Dr Several was dynamic and enjoyable. In a light but consistent way it allowed me to learn the first steps in Python programming. I recommend it to everyone interested in the subject, and like me, looking to learn something totally new.

Understandable and enjoyable course! It is a good course to go around swimming of water of an engineering language before going a dive into deep as it is usually a difficult to learn language. I will surely be back soon. Thank you, Mr. Charles Russell Severance.

For beginners in python programming, it's an excellent course. I had some assignments to do using Python and though it would be nice to take some beginner's level course and I am totally impressed with the way Dr. Chuck delivered this course. I highly recommend.

Excelent course for everybody who wants to start with Python. It doesn't matter your purpose, this course is designed for people without programming skills as well as people who know other languages like C or anything else and wants to begin this other language.

Dr Charles Severance is a chill laid-back professor and makes learning fun. Prior to this course I had absolutely zero knowledge in computer science or python and found the coursework manageable and light. I will definitely continue this series with Dr Charles!
