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.

This is a beginner friendly, computer science 101 course. Professor Chuck explains the concept and mindsets behind the programming language extremely well. I learned how to code, and, more importantly, how to think like a computer when executing.

It was a great learning from this course. Instructer Mr. Charles Russel Severance made the course easy by boosting my confidence in each session. Interviews with different developers and especially with Mr. Guido van Rossum was most interesting.

Dr. Chuck is a fantastic teacher. As he describes - It might not make sense in the beginning but as you keep learning it will all fall into place.

Keep at it folks. Revisit the lessons if your stuck and spend time until you crack the questions.

Dr. Chuck, your instruction is fun, clear, and empathetic to where the learner is coming from and where the learner might struggle. Your passion for access to quality education motivates me in my own work in education. Thank you for this course.

Slow enough pace for someone who is new to Python but has some programming experience. This is my first time using Coursera, and I love it. It also helps that you could speed up the videos. Great instructor, and I look forward to more like this.

Great course, i really enjoyed it and can recommend this to almost everyone - even to people that aren't into programming (yet). This was the 4th online course I took and is the 'largest so far' ;)

Thank you for providing such excellent content!

It is the best course for those who have no background in any programming language. In this course they started from the ground level and it's really easy to understand the python. And Dr.Chuck is best Teacher for Python. It's like Master to me.

if you're into computer coding and programming you should definitely think about taking this course. It will help you get a better understanding on how to write programs using Python and understanding how the computer interprets the information.

Very accessible and the prof made the material very easy to understand. I spent several weeks trying to learn from Youtube channels and this was the best class I was able to take. I am now signing up for the next classes. Thanks for the help.

It is a very good course for beginners as very basic python is taught in this course. Dr. Chuck is really good professor. Also, bonus videos were quite informative and we could look at the ideas through which some people started great platforms.

This course is easy to understand and simple. It's a little slow going at first but once it picks up I felt as though the information was well presented and I liked referring back to the videos if I was having issues with the graded assignments.

Is a great course to start with Python, they teach you the first elements, all the context, iterations, conditionals... I think is a great tool to get started, also the teacher had great examples to make his points clear and really good videos.

I very much enjoyed the course. And although I had no background in programming, I was able to follow the instructions and do the required coursework. The explanations each week were very good and understandable! I can only recommend the course.

I'm a mid-30s sales professional looking to pick up new skills. This was fun. I'm a little fuzzy on the big picture of what I can use python to do in my work, but I know I'll find an application. I'm going to continue the program to learn more.

This course is just wonderful for a newbie like me. Know nothing about programming before but still be able to catch up with the course and even write a bit of codes in the final assignment. I'm satisfied with what I accomplished in this course.

An amazing course that really starts in a way I could understand. I did not know anything about Python and now I can do some basics. This is a critical course to get started with and lay the foundation for all of the other courses. Thank you!

This course was absolute amazing. Professor Severance is both hilarious and so intelligent. He made learning this new language fun and beneficial. At times there were areas where I had to go re-watch one of the lessons but it was well worth it!.

Profound and accessible course to get into programming. Having learned C++ previously, I took this course to get into Python specifically and to refresh the basics. This worked great as you can do all the courses and exercises at your own speed.
