I never thought to be able programing on Python so quickly (2 weeks).

Each lecture is very clear, indications are very useful no waste of time... at the end: no regrets.

Thank you Dr Severance and Coursera to give me this chance!

Dr. Chuck rules! He is such an engaging instructor, he makes learning Python fun. I have tried many courses and gotten discouraged but I am sticking with this one until I get it right. Thank you, Dr. Chuck, for being so awesome!

I know MATLAB perfossionally and I thought Python is different but when I started to learn Python I figure out that both of them are the same and it helped me to learn it faster. I believe that this course is the best to start.

Dr. Chuck has a deep knowledge of Python, and can explain a very complex topic in ways that are understandable and meaningful. The quizzes and homework support the lectures, making it more likely the knowledge will be retained.

Wonderful course, excellent Instructor, thank you, Dr Charles Severance. Looking forward to data structure after November. I need the course for the optimization of resources. Currently using Lingo which I also like.

Thank you!

I really enjoyed this course, well structured for beginners. My recommendation is that add additional practice exercises after the end of every video so that students can practice what they learn before going to the next video.

First of all, Thank You Professor and Coursera for making this Awesome Course.

I learn it too fluently which I didn't expect.

I think that Learning Python will be too difficult for me but this Course proves me wrong.

Thanks a lot

The best course I ever did on coursera. I started this course in python with zero knowledge and Charles has just made this so interesting that now I don't want to stop. If anyone has to learn Python, this is the place to start.

Did it during Corona lockdown with no prior Python Knowledge. Now, I'm able to understand basic coding terminology and can read and write simple programs. In addition, Professor Severus was very entertaining to watch! Good job.

The best, the professor Chuck is one the best I have ever seen. Teaching coding to non-techie is very difficult and the way he teaches is just amazing. Would recommend every one of you to take it to enhance knowledge in Python.

I thought this was an excellent beginners course. I think that the final assignment could be difficult for a lot of students but I did not find it to be hard. Looking forward to taking the next course if I receive financial aid

This is a great course. It is well-designed to deliver the core knowledge in a short time. The quiz and assignments are very helpful to use the knowledge I learned in real practice. I will keep learning and get the certificate.
