Outstanding course by Dr. Chuck, the name is truly accurate, anyone can learn Python. It's been a while since I wanted to learn a new skill within Programming, but for some reason the learning experience wasn't as clear and direct as this one.

This course made my day! before doing this course, programming was a horror to me. But now this course helped me to love programming. A very special thanks to Professor Charles Russell Severance without whom this journey wouldn't be possible.

Easy to follow. Charles seemed to have put a lot of thought into the pedagogy. Foundational elements are strung together in a logical, reinforcing order that aids the learning process. Looking forward to the next course in the specialization.

Excellent Intro to Python and programming in general. Professor Chuck take the time to explain in detail the ins and outs for how functions work, for example, rather than rushing through it. Invaluable instruction for any beginner!

Thank you!

Great content, especially for someone without coding background. Online lectures are very useful for learning at my own pace. And I can replay the videos whenever I need to. Great quizzes and assignments to make sure I have learnt the content.

This course is amazing!

If somebody is already familiar with a programming language it'll take just about a week to complete this course.

The instructor presents the course in very simple and clear language which makes understanding even better!

If you have a programming background (I have) then this course really simple. Some might say too simple, but for me it was useful to 'get back into the game'. Also, simple isn't necessarily a bad thing. I understood everything, and enjoyed it.

Covers the very basics of python. Even if you are new to programming (not only python), this course gets your simple programming knowledge right. Charles is one of the best professor i have seen, who involves his student in the video lectures.

I saw different courses on python then I felt that this course is much deeper, having more exercise and the community is much more helpful.

All the materials and course teacher are awesome to complete the course and learn basic python deeply.

This Course is just awesome. Sir I truly feel that you have done a wonderful job in establishing this course. The content of this course is taught in a very easy way and so coding doesn't seem to me as much terrifying as it was before for me.

For someone who never coded before this was a great way of learning ,I finished the first 7 weeks in three days. keep in mind i spent between 5-6 hours a day and wrote notes while watching the video.I would recommend this than reading a book.

Very good course! Amazing! I can easily follow it without much pressure and I am pretty sure I have learnt what I get from the class. The book attached by the course is also very good. I believe it would help me build a fundamental of Python!
