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 is not my first programming class, but I did appreciate Dr. Chuck's approach to the material. I believe his style makes the subject matter much better approachable for persons not already indoctrinated to the art and profession of programming.

Nice course. Useful for a complete beginner to the world of programming. Not so much for a programmer who's trying to learn a new language as the course tends to focus a lot on the very basics of programming and it might get boring for a programmer.

I am very satisfied with the course. Our Mentor Charles Severance sir explained the entire course in a very organised and in a very sequential manner. I am extremely satisfied with coursera as well and Iooking for exploring more courses on coursera.

ONE OF THE BEST WAY TO LEARN.WHATEVER IT IS IT'S ALL ABOUT THE WAY OF TEACHING BY PROF.CHARLES AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN OR EXPERIENCED SUCH AN PLATFORM WHERE A TEACHER COMES TO LEVEL OF STUDENTS AND TAKES AN INITIATIVE TO TEACH HIS CONCEPT PRACTICALLY

This is a really clear and understandable introduction to Python. Dr. Chuck is the perfect guy to teach it. You'll not only learn how to write some good Python and solve some problems, but to understand the meaning and the 'why', not just the 'how'.

The course is very basic and a perfect start for a newbie and my major takeaway is learning how to identify silly mistakes which I learned during my assignments. The instructor is very good and spoon-fed everything, hence a great start for a newbie.

I thought It would be difficult to learn new language but as I went through the courses thoroughly, it was quite more precise and efficient. Thanks for the course, I suggest there is no regret in taking this course for beginners from any background.

This is the best introduction to python that I've seen. I've completed Codecademy's python courses and attempted to learn from various webpages and books, but it wasn't until this course that I finally understood how python works. Thanks, Dr. Chuck!

If you know nothing about programming and want to get started, this is the perfect course for you. Mr.Chuck, the instructor, explains in the simplest way possible and provides multiple examples for each chapter.

Definitely worth the time and effort!

The class is very helpful, especially for beginners with no programming fundamentals. He teaches in a simple but constructive way yet he also makes the otherwise complex topic less taxing through his humour filled and student friendly teaching ways

I indeed enjoyed learning this course from Charles Russell Severance who made programming seem simple and fun. Now it is safe to say I am acquainted with Python at a basic level. I am really grateful that I had the privilege of using financial aid.

Fantastic course! I have been so excited for all the lectures, quizzes and assignments during this course. I cannot remember the last time I was challenged to this extent on Coursera's platform. I cannot recommend this course enough - go do it now!

A good course for beginners who have little experience in programming. For more seasoned programmers a bit more detailing. A big thanks to professor Chuck for making the course highly interactive and the motivational series after chapters is great.

Ottimo corso per chi è alle prime armi con la programmazione in generale. Per chi ha già fondamenti sulla logica di programmazione e conosce gia alcuni linguaggi il corso lo svolge più rapidamente e senza troppe difficoltà.

Nel complesso molto buono
