I love the teacher and I love the way he is teaching, though I felt sleepy sometimes {all because of myself, laugh}, I felt sleepy when it comes to programming, but I want to be a learner of it, thank you to Programming for Everybody.

This class is well crafted. I enjoyed it and thought it beneficial. It was a great jump point for understanding Python. I would recommend for anyone looking to get started in Python with a general understanding of systems and Bash.

Managed to finish the course during the free tryout week! Professor Severance is funny, easy to understand. He makes it seem so interesting and easy, at least for now..... I would gladly to subscribe to the next 4 courses on the list.

Excellently paced for a complete beginner. Other courses I've taken are much faster paced, it was nice to get a background on some procedures and functions that were glossed over quickly in other courses I've worked through in Python.

Dr.Chuck is amazing, I learned a great deal from his course materials and I am inspired from me myself tagging along all the way through the end of the course. Now I would love to continue discovering more in the world of programming!

Very helpful and clear instructions. I had audited other courses and the assignments did not give enough information and i ended up stopping part way. This is my first completed coursera course and its all thanks to the great teacher!

This course is crafted very beautifully and Dr.Chuck has done a fantastic job in explaining the various basic elements that form the base of Python Language . Looking forward to enrolling in other Coursera courses in the days ahead :)

Very useful introduction to Python for non-programmers as you'll learn not only basic functions but also get answers to the 'nagging questions' about how Python, or programming in general, works at all in the form of simple analogies.

The instructor is able to explain the materials clearly and interestingly at the same time. The pace is little bit slow, but it is perfect for students who knew nothing about programming and python. Can't wait to start my next course.

It is a wonderful experience in learning python. Professor Severance is such an interesting guy and his teaching technique is brilliant and suitable for almost everyone, including students majoring in CS or just programming beginner.

This is an excellent course for EVERYBODY, no matter where you are in your programming track. If you have not programmed, this is a great starting point. If you have been programming for years, it help to relate to those that haven't.

This Python programming language course is new for me. I have learned coding very easy way. The trainer is an excellent teacher, he demonstrates in a simple way. Python for Everybody is the best course for beginners to learn coding.

Es de los mejores cursos de python que he tomado, actualmente ya tenía bastantes nociones sobre Python, pero el profesor Chuck tiene una forma de explicar las cosas que ayudan bastante a comprender la lógica detrás de la programación

This is a good course for the new programmer who is interested in Python, the teacher did not just flood the student's head using syntaxes, variables, and functions but the easiest way to enter the area, the teacher is lovely too.

One of the best courses that can help you out on how to start learning python and also on how to help others learn python. Will definitely suggest this course to few interested people to help them out achieve their goals and targets.

Great course overall. The video-lessons where clear and didactic and the excercises difficult enough to help me assimilate every piece of knowledge. A great teacher also. He made the lessons really easy to follow. I highly recommend.

Easy-to-comprehend. By far the best course on python that I have encountered! All I needed was to know the meaning of every component in the code and reason behind every execution which was beautifully illustrated! Thank you so much!

Was good, if you want to succed in any area remember it's good make your own research and be hungry with the knowledge because programming is about that you need to research for a lot information tutorials, videos and forums to learn

Amazing instructor who is able to teach using simple language with a logical flow such that it is easy to understand. The lessons are well ordered and the topics covered have a chronological flow. This really is python for EVERYBODY.

Professor Chuck is just wonderful, enjoying and explains with his own ideas which are actually good. One thing that I am not satisfied is with the pace of the course, it's just opinion or probably due to my early knowledge in python.
