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've started Python Basics course various times offered by many others but was never hooked to it as I was to this one. It was simplified for a non-programmer and alas I have made a head start with Python. Thank You for this wonderful course.

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

I feel good to take this class. The content of each class is very clear, the structure of the whole course is reasonable. I learnt it day by day, step by step. I can feel my progress. I will continue learning more couses about Python. Thanks.

If you don't know how to program, this is a great introduction. For me since I know how to program (but not in Python), it was an introduction to the Python language. I appreciated being able to run lectures at 1.25 speed to complete quickly.

A very good intro class for Python. Dr. Severance gives a detailed and interesting explanation for definitions and usage. Works great for people barely have programming background. Hope there would be more assignment or exercise for practice.

I recommend it to absolute beginners to programming. For those new to Python but otherwise, good programmers, this course gently introduces you to Python in an effortless manner. great course for programming beginners and those new to python.

This was my first ever course on Coursera and believe me I had an amazing learning experience I feel like there could have been no one other than Dr chuck who could have made me understand these python programming concepts in a more fun way.

Hi,

it’s an awesome program definition for 'def' was great because i have watched so many videos about 'def' none of information is not enough to understand it for me, but in this program i got the answer.

Thanks for Professor and the Teams.

Very good course! But of course, different ones offer different perspectives, and one cannot cover them all. So it might not hurt to take other courses at the same level in the future. But this one is solid in offering substantial materials.

I am very happy with learning the course. The professor is very good at explanation. He goes through every point in detail without letting us confuse. I could literally spend more time in listening and increase my skills. Thanks To Coursera.

Excelente curso. El instructor explica el material de una forma muy amena, por lo que el material no se siente pesado. De igual forma, los ejemplos que da son muy claros y concisos, por lo que no se batalla en entender el material explicado.

I am very much impressed with Dr Chuck as his method of teaching is phenomenal. Sometimes this course looks boring but Dr Chuck initiates some interesting topics and exercises. So auto-grader tool really helps and python is very interesting.

Amazing course delivery, I have never understood programming easier than this, simple and easy to interpret and also slow paced for beginners to work on it. Loved it. Thank you so much sir for this wonderful course and excellent explanation.

The course has been designed in a comprehensible way which allows beginners to proceed without any confusions. I would recommend this course to anyone who would like to give a try to coding. Intuitive courses like this are really motivating.

The TA's are great. Quick to respond, and give insight without giving the answer. All the documentation has information worth reviewing, ie the chapters. I wish I had read the literature before watching the videos, but all in all it's great.

I loved it. I took a couple of other online "courses" before this one, but I liked this the best. I will be continuing on with the rest of the Python courses offered here. Thank you so much for creating such a great computer based course.

El curso es útil tanto para verdaderos principiantes que se introducen en programación como para quienes ya han programado en otros lenguajes. Clarísimo y magistral en la progresión del contenido y estructura de los conocimientos incluidos.

Relly love this course. Before I chose this course, I thought I am not the type of person who can grasp programming skills. I am 28 years old and never learned or contact anything related. I was really proud of myself to start this journey.
