This is a very basic course. Everyone can understand the concepts well. I have already know the programming concepts and proficiency in C++. But the amazing thing is that my high school going son has studied this and even he can understand the concepts of programming. Now he is a position to write small programs. We are moving to the second course in this section. Thank you very much

I'm super happy that I found this course as the first course I chose to learn programming, before this course, I just believe that programming is way too hard for a girl like me to understand.

Professor Severance really the kind of teacher who can ease your mind and teach you some amazing skills at the same time, the way he explains python really amusing and easy to understand.

Thanks.

This is a very helpful course for beginners of Python. The instructor did a good job organizing the contents and explaining the concepts and code structure. I have some experience with some other programming language so the content is quite familiar, since there is lots of overlaps. However, I think people without any programming experience won't have any problem following the course.

The course was very complete for the themes it went through. Though, I found it very repetitive at some point but I do not think this is big of an issue as some might find it helpful. The last thing I would add is to give more exercises. The lessons are thorough but we would need more exercises to apply what we have learnt.

Thank you very much for the past 7 weeks,

I am grateful to Prof. Charles Russell Severance. He starts from grassroot of programming and covers each topic with so simple manner it's is really easy to follow and understand every topic . I had very little amount of understanding about try and except. It just got cleared. Thanks to Coursera and Prof. Charles. Such a grate learning session it was. I enjoyed it throughout. Thanks.

I had no clue about how python would look and feel like even though I had basic C++ experience. I would say the course is designed so well and especially Prof. Dr. Chuk explains so calmly that I could easily understand and digest it. Thank you for such a wonderful course and an instructor for introducing me to Python in such a wonderful way. A memorable introduction to Python for me.

The instructor Dr. Charles Severance is really amazing he keeps you connected and learning. The course is very interesting and you will learn a lot. About 4 weeks ago I didnt know anything about python and now I have proudly completed the course learning many new things and can't wait to use my skills further and pass on the knowledge.

Thankyou Coursera

Thankyou Dr.Charles Severance

The course was designed perfectly for a person who is unfamiliar with any kind of programming language. The instructor has put a great effort into making things easy. With a little effort, one can create his base for python. Watch all the lectures, read chapters from the book provided, and you are good to go. Overall, the course is exciting. You will not get bored during this course.

On completing this course you will have a basic idea on python language. I really enjoyed taking this course. The in-between assignments will test your understanding and helps you to get the better knowledge about the language.The quizzes which are simple yet gives more fun.If you are interested in learning python language then complete this course for getting a good basic knowledge.

This course is great!!! It will teach you the beginning of python syntax but more importantly it gives you a really good foundational understanding of the concepts behind the code you are writing. Like any new language there are moments when you get stuck and it is frustrating however Professor Severance's videos and the book actually make those moments quite navigable and rewarding.

Dr. Chuck's way of teaching is always wonderful. This is a second course i have taken for Dr. Chuck and i am planning to take all the courses for Python specialization. This course is very helpful for the people who want to learn Python programming as it contains very basics of programming and designed in such a way that anyone can learn it without having any programming background.

Everything was good, but as seen in the forum, more explanation around how to deal with "None" with respect to the minimum could have been included. Additionally, I think there have been modifications and the final assignment has changed. Specifically on the latter, the last assignment no longer ask to compute an average but rather a maximum and minimum. Really good class overall.

This course is very interesting and very helpful.

Though most of points I've already known, but I can always learn something new from the instruction of Professor.

I am grateful for the financial aid Coursera provided.

And thank you so much, Coursera, University of Michigan, and the team of Professor Charles Russell Severance. I am looking forward to have a next session of learning.

I actually knew python before taking this course. For employment purposes I'm getting some certificates on subjects I already know (but don't have any certifications or experience to show) on coursera at the moment. My emphasis is on Data Science and I found this course quite helpful to refresh my python knowledge. I would definitely also be suitable to learn python from the start.

my name is zaid. it was really an amazing course. i had no idea that 'Dr. CHUCK' would explain things so nicely. although i had few hiccups in graded assignments but it was overall fun. i forgot programming after my BTech from IIT (several years back). But now i again feel very enthusiastic and eager to do more and more programming. thanks a lot coursera and thanks a lot Dr. Chuck.

Hey there I just completed this course which was sponsored by my university, I want to tell you guys that this is a very easy course for learning basics of python plus the way of teaching of Dr chuck is very interesting, assignments are super easy. I just loved it.Note: you can complete this 7-week course in just 6 days if u want, as I did, so best of luck stay blessed stay inspired

As someone who is already fluent in Java, "Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python)" was a great way to start familiarizing myself with the general syntax of Python. I blew through this course in a couple of days, and really learned a lot about how to transform simple Java statements into Python. Great work in designing this course Dr. Severance! Onto Data Structures!

This training session is really a good kick start for the beginners who dream to learn an easy coding language, I would say I love Python now which would like to see myself from beginner to mid-level and advance level and thereafter to reach my goal to be a professional python developer.

Thanks a lot to the trainer for spending his valuable time and sharing knowledge with us..!! :-)

Professor Severance is an excellent instructor who focuses on clearly explaining the different components of Python. As a beginner to coding, I found this course to be very accessible, while still being challenging enough that I remained engaged throughout the series of lectures, quizzes, and assignments. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning Python.

Wow.. what a journey!! This course is a great path for someone who wants to have a gentle taste what a programming is about.. Dr Chuck has done amazing job and sitting every evening on lectures and assignments was so enjoyable.. Thank you so much for an opportunity .. I have gained such a great skill thanks to your dedication.. what a great job! Thank you !! See you on Course 2!! ;)

I took a Coursera course several years back for python with Chuck when it was free, however, my career prevented me from moving forward with becoming a bona fide programmer. So when I decided I REALLY wanted to learn Python this time, the first resource that came to mind was Coursera with Dr. Chuck. I love Chuck. Great teacher! And I just downloaded my first certificate. Thank you!

It has been forever since I could actually love a course tought by a professor. Felt really great to keep up with the legendary Slytherin prof. Charles Severance!!! . His obvious talent in empathy and subtle jokes made this programing course one of my favorite moment of my day in this challenging times. Looking forward to embark new programing wonders with Coursera and Charles Sev.

i am very thankful to coursera and it was my first course in coursera. i loved and like the way lecture teaches to student like me and the materials which are provided are good. i never felt bore in class and i am very thankful to have lecture like Dr.Charles Russell Severance and ii wish i could have get teacher like him in future. i liked continue my remaining courses in coursera

I wish i had a Professor Like Chuck in my college. His Style of Teaching is Very Interactive & Unique. While taking his course i would feel Tired or Bored. Once you sit to watch his lectures you'd want to just keep going & going & test what you've learned by completing the assignments which a given after each & every topic to keep you focused throughout the course. thankyou Chuck!!

Dr. Chuck is an amazing teacher, i am a design student, and i had no prior knowledge of programming, still i could comprehend each new topic as it was introduced by sir, almost immediately. i recommend everyone who wants to learn python to take up this course irrespective of your academic background. all you need is your phone and an internet connection and you are ready to start.
