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.

Very beautifully taught. I gained basic python programming knowledge quite easily. The lecturer is fun and encourages students to want to learn more. In general, it was an awesome learning experience.

I loved the lecture, and I believe I have acquired the fundamentals of Python. I am planning to expand my knowledge by attending the remaining courses. Dear Dr. Chuck and the University of Michigan, thank you very much for your energy and efforts.

El profesor ser nota que disfruta explicando y se centra en lo fundamental. Incluso doblado, me entero mejor que con cursos en mi idioma nativo. Dejan los pdfs de las presentaciones y el libro completamente gratuiro, a diferencia de otros cursos.

if you are new to coding this is the best course you could have. I will also recommend read free ebook python for everybody book it is available at py4e website. Dr.chuck teaching style is very absorbing the way he explains topics is just awesome.

Dr. Chuck's lectures are pretty well detailed about it contents. The way he explains the topics, it is very easy to understand and grasp the concept behind it. It is must take course for new programmers, irrelevant of their educational background.

Well frankly speaking, i had no prior coding experience in Python. Prof. chuk has definitely made it too simple for every noob to start this language without fear. I am planning to go ahead with this course in order to upgrade what i started with.

First of all, I recommend buying or printing the book, most of the time you don't need it at the begining, but when closing in to week 5, 6 and 7 I found it useful.

The course: I have tried several online courses and this is, imho, by far the best!

This course was thorough, was instructive and was incremental. I had no trouble following the concepts or the flow of instruction. I should have started here, long ago, when I first started learning to code. Thank you for constructing this course.

I had some basic knowledge of Python before I took this course. This course filled some gaps especially in the field of loops and I really enjoyed it. Since I actually knew the material and only had some gaps, finishing this course took me 3 days.

In this course with Dr. Chuck it was an amazing experience with the teaching skills of his and the curse material provided in it was also an amazing source of learning.

after this course I would also like to take the subsequent course from coursera

Most programming languages and most classes require a substantial amount of time installing and just getting going. I was able to dive into both within minutes. The explanations are outstanding and easy to follow. Am really enjoying these courses.

It is super easy and clear. The class is perfectly deisigned for people who do not have little coding experience. The only pity is that the class is wordy ( but of course, the purpose is to make coding fun). I will highly recommended this course.

Provides the very basics of Python. Lectures were colourful and easy to understand and the assignments were sufficient and helpful. Also provides bonus videos which are very informative.

The course could have progressed a lot faster in my opinion.

Realmente fácil de seguir y de entender. Ya había dado este temario en la universidad, pero recordarlo me ha sido útil para asentar totalmente las bases de estos conocimientos, y este curso me ha resultado la mejor opción para ello y para avanzar.

I learned a lot from this course, having already used python before to write and define functions within my graduate courses. I believe this course will help to verify what I have learned and give me continuing opportunities as a lifelong learner.

It's my first time on Python and I was scared to not be able to understand how a programming language works. Nevertheless, the course is well structured and exciting specially due to Dr. Chuck's teaching. The best is when the assignment ends well.

Professor Severance did an excellent job at explaining and demonstrating the concepts in this course which made it easier for me to grasp the subject. This course was challenging, but rewarding as I successfully completed each quiz and assignment.

Professor Severance is a appreciably comical man and I've found it very easy to grasp concepts in Python programming under his guidance. I like the pace of his video lectures and suggest that he maintain this level of concision mixed with clarity.

The course is fantastic! Even though you have never heard about programming. The professor is awesome and really clear in his explanations. It seems to me like a real time lecture: whatever is my question, he answers it on the very next minute! :)
