I love that the lecturer gives all the information sequentially and in such high details. Even the beginners will be able to get them easily. I was able to complete course 1 within 3 days thanks to how interesting the whole program was.

Dr. Severance organized this course very well, and the assignments are beneficial for me to master the concepts (teaching staff in the forum are very responsive to learner's questions!). I will continue to learn this series of courses.

Simple but effective course for beginners in programming. The instructor is friendly, the videos are well paced. You can increase the speed of the videos if you fell you are grasping things faster. Would recommend to absolute beginners.

Great materials and practical examples which guide you step by step through the basics of Python.

However, this introductory course is also universal, shows language structures and logic which is used in many other programming languages.

Great introduction to programmng and Phython, I never wrote code before, now I want to enroll in the specialization and learn much more! It could be improved with aditional practical excersises, or externl sources on where to find some.

Very clear and friendly for beginner of Python. And the best part I think is the course design, from the basic control flow introduction to data structure, deeper and deeper, which really help me understand programming systematically.

Dr Chuck is a good teacher. If you are a beginner to programming and want to learn python then go for this course with closed eyes. For a veteran it may seems to be slow paced but its good to build up the foundation. Happy Programming.

This is a great course for beginners. I was already using Python for my own programming projects prior to this course but I still wanted to take it to renew my knowledge. Professor Charles Severance is now one of my favourite teachers.
