Its a very good course specially for those who would like to learn programming from level zero as well as for those who has some knowledge about programming but not clear enough for him or her to continue with so therefore this course will help him or her to strengthen the basic of programming (of course in Python).Thanks to the respected instructor and thanks to coursera for the course!!

The course was well laid out to build your skills in a seamless progression. Dr. Chuck presents the material in a clear and concise manner. The material was neither too challenging, that it was ineffective, nor too easy, that it failed to get the student to make the connections needed for learning to occur. This is said for a student that has never programmed (I fall into that category).

This was a great course for beginners. It teaches the basics of python programming such as variables, if statements, looping statements and function definitions. However, in order to learn more essential python skills I would recommend taking a further python class that will teach things like lists, tuples, dictionaries and other such topics needed to truly work with python productively.

absolutely terrific!

The course is very well designed and delivered; explanations are provided in a simplified language that anyone can understand and imagine what is being discussed vividly.

It helped me understand that with due effort and discipline one can at least try to undertake some steps towards becoming a programmer. Well done, Dr. Severance and Coursera. I thank you very much.

I have been struggling with coding for almost a year until I found this course...

Following the lead of Charles Severance and the power of Slytherin I was able to complete this course in due time! it was by no means easy but entertaining! I still have a lot to learn and practice but I must say this course is worth all of it and I will be doing all these courses made by this great teacher!

This class really helped me to successfully start python 3. As a doctor of polymer chemisty, I have experienced MATLAB programming but I don't really know any basics or definition of the terms people using; I learned MATLAB myself with no fundamentals at all. I think PY4E is really helpful for whom need computation works, like numerical calculations, but don't know anything about python.

Even though the course is designed for people that do not know anything about programming, and I am an intermediate level programmer, I find it very enjoyable and interesting. The bonus lectures are the best. The assignments are easy and clear. But the most important thing is that the instructor "Charles Russell Severance" is amazing, he has a nice personality and he is very informative.

Assalam u alaikum,

My name is Mah E Urooj and my instructor of IOT course Sir Mooazam of NAVTTC recommended this course. I find this online course very educational and informative. As I am learning Python it is very helpful for me. I improved my programming skills and enjoyed learning. I enjoyed watching videos and doing quizzes. Thank you Coursera, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I am a Java Developer . So It was kind of very easy course for me . But for a beginner , I can say it's one of the best basic python course . Anyone with no coding background will find it useful . Professor is fantastic . Specially I loved the approach of not giving extra load . Smoothly building up . Anyone who is planning to start programming , should give it a try. Thanks coursera .

I am very satisfied. This course offers a professional introduction to python programming. It includes personal experiences of the python makers and the teacher together with students around the world, a clear and well structured content including theory, explanations, examples, exercises, and tests. The teacher motivates continuously to think, to understand and apply the new knowledge.

After trying my hands at many online courses, I found this one to be THE BEST.

Reason: For someone like me who had no exposure to coding before this, this provided me the ultrabasic foundation. I have started to feel a little bit excited as I write code (and struggle too!). This had not happened earlier.

Thank you, Professor Charles. You are really a great teacher!

Very detailed course for who wants to understand the basis of programming. It really explains the ideas without assuming anything or jumping from a simple problem to a complex program without building the basis.. Is like being back to college, but choosing what you really want to study and at what time.. Thank you Dr. Chuck and Coursera for the opportunity.. keep up with the great work!

Really great course! It gives excellent introduction to programming. Complex things are put in a very easy to understand way. Clear understanding gives a good start to use in practice. Excellent assignments and practice exercises. Definitely I will recommend this course as a start to my colleagues who would like to start learn programming! Thank you very much for this great course!

The course has been tough, but good. I found Professor Charles Severance equal to the task. His presentation is excellent. I wish these courses could incorporate some practical examples before quizzes are given. This would boost students' confidence. I am promoted to the next stage of the course. I am therefore looking forward to it. Thank you 'Team Coursera, especially Prof Severance"!

It was interesting and new for me to take this online course.

I enjoy the way Dr.Charles gave the lessons.

But I still hope if there could be more exercises, like coding, that are not mandatory for us to practice.

And it will be better if there is explanation for each exercise question, which does help us to firmly review what has been taught through previous videos.

Overall, I did enjoy!

I have a background in music education, and wanted to dive into my husband's world so I took this course. It has really helped me to think more like my husband. I have started to communicate with him about his work instead of just listening intently and trying to understand on my own. I expect the other courses to continue helping me move into his world so I can share in his passion.

This is one of the best programming courses. Prof. Dr. Charles Severance is simplifying all the Python programming way as it should be for learners with no experience or background to programming.Overall, the course presented in an excellent way to match its title "Getting Started with Python"/ "Python for Everybody"print ('Thanks to Coursera')

Super easy and broken down to the basics for absolute beginners to programming. But if you're someone like me who's already had some basic knowledge about how programs and programming works it's going to be way easier for you and actually it might feel going a bit too slow at time. Keeping in mind that this was made for absolute new-comers, it's all understandable and works fabulous.

I am glad that to have come across this course especially because I am from a non-programming background. The instructor makes it very easy for students with no programming language to understand the concepts of Python. Considering that most the jobs today require some degree of know-how on data analytics tools, languages and software, this course is the perfect start to Journey ahead.

Its a good course having simple teaching style. i found a new Teaching style in here. If any mistake is in the code, tutor will always says its not you are not suitable for programming, it is python is lost. I really appreciate that sentence, because that is more encourage students like me. Thanks to Coursera and University of Michigan for giving me this amazing tutor and this course.

I successfully completed the course "Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python)" by Charles Russell Severance, and it was an incredible learning experience. Charles's explanations were clear and easy to understand. The course structure was well-organized, and the exercises helped reinforce my knowledge. I highly recommend this course for beginners looking to learn Python.

"This is the first time I have attended a class in this format and wondered how effective it would be. It was very effective and therefore I would definitely be interested in attending other classes in the same format. The instructor was very knowlegeable and provided a wealth of information about the current version, especially since the last version I used was several releases ago."

This is course is really good and useful as well as the instructor who has amazing way of explaining and introducing new concepts and material of science. I also like the bonus section very much with its interviews videos as well as the brilliant quizzes that really focus on the important points. I am really excited to complete the remaining courses. Thank You, University of Michigan!

I learned a lot from this course and Dr.Chuck is a great instructor, and I will take the new course and thanks to you for this certification from Coursera and the UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, I really enjoyed learning this course .. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to build programming skill using python, and from Egypt: God bless you Dr chuck, best instructor ever.

yours sincerely.

This course is really well organised for beginners to learn and have basic understanding of python and how actually computer works and how a set of statements perform specific work and gives us desired output.Prof. has put in a lot of effort to make this course very interactive for us.Thanks for developing this course for us.I would suggest everyone who's beginner to take this course.
