I am excited to finally start learning Python and I found the structure and approach used in the first course in the series very easy to pick up and follow along. Thanks for making this Coursera experience interesting, engaging, and fun!

Great introduction to python. Good for everyone that never programmed before. And good for everyone that wants to learn the basic syntax of python. Beginners need 2-4 hours per week. Students with prior experience need 30-60min per week.

Really good course for a person who is new to programming although writing assignments with the autograder is a bit irritating as it catches mistakes like an extra space or small and capital so make sure u take care of these small issues

Muy buen curso para empezar a aprender de Python y programación en general. El profesor es muy carismático y explica de una manera senzilla. Sigue un ritmo bueno, aunque para algunos puede ser lento. El curso del material está muy bien.

This was recommended to me after an IT course at my university. We received a brief overview of Python, and I asked my professor for additional learning material. This course satisfied my curiosity and taught me great, pracitcal skills!

Professor Severance goes on a bit much, but he gives you a lot of helpful information and really tries to teach you about the ideas behind the code, along with the nitty gritty stuff you have to say to make your computer understand you.

It is the interesting course that I've ever taken, and it is a more interesting course than the course I've taken in the university. I can say that it is a great opportunity to improve your programme language if you are not in CS major.

Very simple but effective course, I already had programming knowledge prior to this course, and seeing how Prof. Charles breaks things into small pieces was beautiful, he truly makes things easier for students and is a great instructor.

This is an amazing course. When I started i knew nothing about programming, and now I understand how programming works and can make my own programms. The teacher is amazing and the course and resources are really good. Best course ever!

I am very much satisfied with instructor for the way he was teaching. My undergraduate languages(C or FORTRAN) experience was useful while learning this course. Who ever NO other programming languages experience, it was the best course.

The course is very knowledgeable and has very well explained the basics of python for a beginner. From the basics of installing and starting work on python through with variables. conditional statements and loops, it's taught very well.

Best introduction to programming that I can possibly imagine. As a non-computer person I'm extremely grateful to Dr. Severance. I had never seriously attempted programming until now (and way to go). Thank you very much again from Spain.

Best course which starts from basics and put you at position to start career or write complex coding.

Though it's a basic course it gives confidence for moving ahead with python for exploring more and more new things in computer science.
