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.

Excellent for beginners. You don't need any experience at all just access to a relatively new computer and the internet.

Dr. Severance is a great teacher and the Coursera structure of the course is great for low maintenance study.

I found this course to be very informative. The instructor presented the material in a way I could lean and kept me entertained while completing. I look forward to continuing the remaining classes and learning more about Python.

For an ordinary person who is trying to learn the python programming language this course actually describes at very basic level and easy to understand. The assignments in this course really motivates me as a beginner in python .

Best course on python I have done (and I've done a few). Dr. Chuck is the first instructor who I found that actually went over everything without jumping from topic to topic and assuming you had any prior experience or knowledge.

It's a great course for beginners! The teacher gives you everything you need to take your first steps in programming no matter if you've never coded before. And it's a good course if you've forget things that you learnt time ago.

I think this is a great course even if I am programming language for the first time. I am a native Chinese speaker, and I am very happy that the subtitles have Chinese, so that I have no hindrance in learning. Highly recommended!

If you are a beginner in programming. This is the best start. I'm revisiting programming after 3 years and found this a good starting point to get my logics and brain flowing with programming logic. Very nicely structured course.

Really easy for someone who's got experience on other programming languages. I was able to finish it in a day, yet I don't regret taking it at all because learning the basic syntax for a new language is fundamental in my opinion.

If you don't have any programing background, I suggest this course to understand not only about python, you can learn about the programing basics.

If you have any programing background, I suggest you to take more advanced course.

Very useful course if you want to relearn your previous experiences with programming. I used to do it in C++ and some Java but I always thought it was very tedious, here I felt very confortable and I actually wanna keep learning.

The instructor is too good and the things he taught got cleared in first go. The quizzes and the assignments given, were also of a level which can cover all the bases and the student if solves them once, will not have any doubts.

This course is a great first approach to python and programming in general.

I didn't know much about coding, by the end I was able to understand the flow of a code and to solve little problems with python.

Very clear and very good.

Perfect for someone getting introduced to programming. Went through it even though I am an experienced coder as it was part of the specialization - to see if I could find a way to improve th- cant think of a way to improve this!!

I liked the videos. The instructor was clear and helpful. The exercises allowed me to get familiar with the type of codes in each chapter and also let me think logically on each problem. I got more interested in computer science.
