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.

Fantastic presentation of the course by Dr. Charles Severance. I would recommend this course to everybody. Immaterial of what your level of expertise is in Python, believe me, you can take this course and be more than satisfied with your choice.

I have been programing Python for a few years but I found some useful stuff in this course. The way Dr. Service explains things clears up little questions that I have had in the back of my mind for years. I would take any course that he teaches.

It's a perfect course for beginners with as it is very paced and explains everything you need to even if you have no knowledge whatsoever of programming. I really really recommend it for people who want to start navigating the programming world!

This course was very funny and very easy to complete. The professor is great and i think that his method is perfect for someone who approach a programming language for the first time. Everything is explained in simple way, with a lot of examples

ótimo curso introdutório!! bom material e boas dicas para iniciar no desenvolvimento em Python. O curso é para iniciantes, portanto faz-se necessário dar sequencia nos próximos cursos da série para conseguir desenvolver uma aplicação de verdade.

For beginners in programming is very good. For someone who have some experience with other programming languages, this first course is too much easy but has interesting things (interviews, etc.) anyway so it is not a waste of time even for then.

Absolutely brilliant, I have taken many courses in the past and this is BY FAR the best one I've encountered. It is well-explained and well-structured, and the lecturer is incredibly smart and engaging. Would definitely recommend very strongly.

Dr. Chuck is such a good teacher. He made everything make sense in a way that not many others can. Furthermore, this is the only programming course that has made 2me feel confident in my ability to code thus far. Overall, it was a great course.

very simple to understand for anyone who have minimum computer knowledge, but it might become some what difficult to people u have no idea what a computer is, but don't worry keep learning with real time examples you'll get through it.

THANK YOU

Truly a python course for everybody I must say that even a guy without a CS background can take this course and get started with python. The lectures are very beginners friendly and made for you to get started with python in just a 2 or 3 weeks

It's the best way to start programming I've found so far. I mean for the very beginners, it helps to convert human thinking to the way computer thinking. This course does help me understand the principle of programming much better than before.

This course gave me a meaningful picture of what is going on in Python, and I find it different from lots of other online courses on Python out there. Plus, the instructor is a cool guy, that makes learning more enjoyable. He is not a robot :)

This course has exposed me to the basics of the Python programming language.

I have tried to learn three or more programming languages but

I made it this time. Thanks to our Instructor Charles Severance, Coursera and

the University of Michigan.

Awesome explanation from Dr Charles although I did feel like the exercises were more complex than the examples given, my feeling is that it wouldn't hurt to just do examples as complicated as the exercises , other than that, it was all amazing!

Learning Python with Dr. Charles Russell Severance was a great experience. I am very glad to have joined this course. Its very informative in the details of the words written in the code. I am very much looking forward to learn the next course.

Overall the course is great and the teacher is amazing.

Suggestions: might need a video to talk about the last assignment, coz even after I got it done, there are still some confusion, and really hope there could be one more video to explain it.

A highly encouraging course for people who have not interacted with code before. Professor Chuck's lectures were both concise, engaging yet professional. I will definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants a crash course on programming.

Great course for beginners. Not applicable for intermediate programmers but the video with the creator of Python, was awesome and very inspiring. The instructor was so cool. I love the course but the quiz and assignments seems really very easy.

I will definitely enroll to next level of this course. I spent 3 days to finish this "getting started" course without drop off. This showed the value of this course that a. bring me in the gate; b. keep me motivated; c. wider my view on coding.
