The instructor is very positive and he encourages the students to think and solve the problem.I have taken my courses taught by doctor Charles and I can say that he is amazing professor .I wish he taught at my university.

This course was challenging for me as a beginning programmer but it was taught very well. The professor and the book are awesome. If you have a question there is always a Mentor with coding experience around who can help.

Professor Chuck is stellar. He is knowledgable and very likable. I appreciate that the videos aren't scripted and polished. The lectures feel like I'm having a conversation with him. He also makes me laugh in every video.

Learning curve is high but worth it. It took me days to come up with a solution on some problems. I had to review everything I learned so far just to answer the problem and it is a good thing to build a solid foundation.

The instructor is amaizingly knowledgable. I had liked Python before starting this course; however, he made me love Python during these two courses. I will go to attend the other three python courses as soon as possible.

It has been a very enriching experience, the clarity of concepts, the perfect balance of theory and practice, the methodology, everything is spectacular, as well as the mastery of the subject by the instructor. Thank you

The course deals with file, three data structures i.e list, dictionary and tuples. The assignment are good to test the knowledge and skill of a learner. The course has been actually designed from begineers point of view.

Very informative and helpful, the pace of the lessons for those who have zero knowledge of Python is very comfortable. At the same time, there's room for students to explore on their own and did not feel too restrictive.

This course has helped me in advancing my journey in Python to a level where I can now understand all the basic data structures and various methods associated with them. We can use these methods for various common tasks.

Did this to review some basic Python, and it did just the trick. Got some good practice in and learned a few tips and tricks I missed when I first learned the language. Great intro to basic data structures in CS as well.

Very easy and useful to get data structures in Python. Highly recommend for those who have no prior Python experience or to those who want to move to Python from other languages but has no clue where to start. Good luck!

I love this course, so clear also supported with great assignments where you can train your coding skills immediately. I am planning to take more class with Mr Chuck, I like his way of teaching. Highly recommended class.

Loved the new information learned from this course. I have completed other python courses before but I guess all courses aren't created equally. I just wish the videos were shorter. :) Can't wait to take the next course.

This course is awesome!! I was always an amateur programmer with php and html and thanks to Dr. Severance, I am actually being able to discuss with IT professionals toe to toe!

Thank you very much for such awesome course!

I love the teaching style, and he's really great at breaking things down simply and with enough repetition to give you a clear understanding on any remaining unfamiliar topics. Looking forward to the rest of the course!

The pace of the course is slow if you are already a programmer and are familiar with the basics of Python. However, the course is well-organized and well-delivered. Dr. Severance is funny and makes learning Python a joy.

This course provided me with much more information and learning than I expected from the start. If you want to learn python or simply want to expand your knowledge, then this is the right course for you. Happy learning!

As always, a VERY interesting and complete overview of the inner guts of Python functionality. Dr. Chuck is engaging as ever and the content he provides has clarified things for me that I often struggle with. Well done!

I continued this course after 'Programming for everybody' one of the five of the bunch 'Python for everybody'. And I feeling confident about programming skills I've learnt.

I am looking forward pursue the next courses...

again done another course by Dr. Chuck. He is a wonderful teacher for the beginner. Makes Everything really easy to understand. This code is amazing for the beginners as it starts from scratch after the Beginner course.

This is the most fun teacher I've seen on Coursera. He made this course so much easy and interesting. I don't like programming that much because I rarely understand it. But now I can't wait to advance to the next level.

I feel incredible that I knew almost nothing about programming just a month ago. Now I have done two of the courses of the specialization and I can actually understand other basic codes. Great course! Thank you coursera

Such an amazing and educational course! Being a 9th grader in school, this was a flexible course and it was also very detailed and simple to understand. I also loved how helpful and efficient the discussion forums were!

It's the second course of the Python specialization course. Dr. Chuck just made programming so funny and consice. Very good for beginners even if you don't have any background. I love this course. Thank you Dr. Chuck :)

I love Dr Chucks way of teaching and making you see how fun programming can be! This is one of the main reasons that keeps me here, even though I'm a junior Engineering student + part time jobat a lab. Totally worth it!
