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.

Python made easy and captivating. Dr. Chuck just knows his thing and he has a hold of how to deliver it to other people. Thank you for this amazing course and to Dr. Chuck, many students await your amazing way of delivering the course material.

Informative, easy to learn and a great stepping stone for anyone wanting to learn python programming (especially for those without any prior programming knowledge like me). Thank you Chuck and all the associated staff for this wonderful course.

Highly recommend this course to everyone who has little coding experience. The content is fundamental and useful. Love Dr. Charles's teaching method so much! And you can also attain great help from TA through attending weekly discussion board.

I didn't buy the certificate, but I really love this course!

Dr. Charles Severance explained python in a very interesting way so that we can understand it easily.

I will continue to other python courses he taught and enjoy my programming journey!

Amazingly simple (too simple at times) and easy to understand. This instructor is clearly passionate and knowledgeable about the subject, and makes the examples as funny and interesting as possible. I learned a lot and enjoyed every assignment.

Excellent for beginners and people who already have knowledge in programming but want to do a quick refresh. If you have programmed in a different language but a long time ago, watch in 1.5 speed and you'll finish the course in a week or less.

Great course for the beginners. Dr. Chuck's teaching style is very engaging & understandable. Examples & practices assignments help build deeper understanding. Bonus lectures & interviews especially of Python founders are like cherry on cake.

Wonderful course. Charles is a great professor for an amateur like me. Lectures are at the same time easy to follow, shorts, and enough to learn exactly the fundamentals in programming using Python. All the best from Uruguay, Germán Hernández.

A direct approach to Python programming language. I had taken another basic Python but it wasn't nearly as practical as this one. This is really a nice starting point for everyone who has an interest in starting learning any programming skill.

A wonderful course useful for beginners and the style of the lecturer is beautiful and interesting ...

But the level of translation in Arabic is not at the required level ...

However a useful course on which future information can be based ...

Charles Russell Severance is amazing teacher! Course is absolutely great for the beginner level: clear explanation, good examples, very efficient lessons, short and to the point.

So far this is the best program I have taken on-line. Thank you!

I loved how the course instructor took from 0 and made python seemed so easy to grab. Amazing work with the assignments and quiz, it does test the our knowledge well. In all, it was worth my time. Thank you Coursera for this service of yours.

Интересный курс "для самых маленьких в программировании". Классный профессор, с юмором и очень подробными объяснениями как всё работает. Единственное, хотелось бы более профессиональную среду разработки вроде Visual Studio с отладкой и прочим.

I wasn't new to programming but awful at it. I was new to the syntax of Python and took up the course to learn the language. But it was a fun course and I also improved my Fundamentals. Thanks to Professor Severance for the amazing experience,

This is a great course. The teacher not only knows his material, but has a lot of experience working with first time programmers and so knows what errors they are likely to make and what questions they are likely to ask and addresses them all.

Rather slow in the Introduction with technical stuffs on computer hardware and all, not quite related to programming skills, but in the end I picked up lessons quite nicely. This is my first-ever online course that I've successfully completed!
