The course content is well-organized that makes students easy to follow, but there is limited amount of examples and exercises for students to learn how to apply the knowledge in real world situation.

This was such a journey. impressive by content as well as delivery. Amazing classes deeper insights, I would say you have to learn not only python but also numerous other things while you do this class, like regular expressions, databases and stuff. amazing

The course was so comprehensive and detailed for everyone who is new in programming. I appreciate the efforts of the teachers who provided us such a great assignment,quiz and video tutorials for practice and giving us a sharp edge in this programming world.

Very good at explaining the fundamentals of thinking like a programmer. I think for absolute beginners more examples would be beneficial but as someone with an interest in programming (probably same as most on this course) I had a little experience already.

Good course and very well taught. The professor teaches it with a slow pace so that everybody can understand the fundamentals. I have taken other courses on Coursera in which the teachers skip explaining the important steps but this course does not do that.

This course is a good start to learn Python programming language, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn Python without any prior programming knowledge, the instructor is so good and the way he presents the concepts of the course is entertaining.

This course is wonderful for the most novice of coders (with no prior coding experience) to someone looking to brush up. Everything is clearly explained, with both the objective (why we do it) and the methodology (how we do it) described around each concept

Very good for the absolute beginner. I'm not an absolute beginner to programming but I am to python so I found I could skip a heck of a lot. Exercises are useful for getting into routine of writing programs and the worked exercise videos show best practice.

An excellent introduction to programming. It's classic in its approach, but it is generous in its pedagogy. Dr. Chuck is a warm and compelling teacher. The assignments get difficult quite quickly, and by the end of the course you are "in the thick of it"!

One of the most hands-on and insightful courses I've ever taken online and will definitely be coming back to take part two. I've wracked my brain on how to get into programming and this was it! I am 100% grateful for the opportunity to take on this course.

I wanted to learn Python as I was weak in it. So I selected this course on COURSERA. It was very much easy to learn Python from this institute. The Assignments are really quite easy to solve if you watched the videos. I would recommend to take this course.

I have tried learning Python from other websites but none can compare to this course by Professor Severance. He is brilliant. He makes the concepts very simple and easy to learn. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn Python.

A very good place to start for total newbies. But Dr. Chuck is right, many online courses start out the same, and then the floor drops out. I have programmed before so this was too easy for me. Finished in a day. Recommended to those new to programming.

Nice introductory course! I am looking forward to learning even more about computer science and programming. Very engaging material. Dr Chuck doesn't expect you to know any programming at all, so it is perfect for beginners such as me. 5/5 would recommend.

I wanted to learn python from scratch and believe me, you can't find any other course better. The explanation is very easy to understand. Even a high school student can easily understand python by taking this course. The course instructor is very friendly.

Great introduction to the basics of Python, writing and structuring. A good starting point to advance your knowledge. I would thoroughly recommend this. Chuck is a great teacher, and even via online learning, I found his method and style extremely helpful.

Dr. Chuck is great! Jumping into Python is incredibly easy even for someone without programming experience. Python's way of breaking down code into a more easily understandable sequence (almost like spoken language) makes understanding the basics a breeze.

This course was my introduction into computer programming. The instructor has been clear with his instructions. I have seen significant progress in my own limited computer programming abilities, and I am excited to continue forward with the specialization.

Good introduction, can be completed in a few day's even part time if you have some programming background. Extra videos from Python and Arduino founders provided excellent backdrop information. Glad that Python3 is now the default syntax for the course.
