Being that I was familiar with other programming languages prior to taking this course, I appreciate the quality of this introduction. I do with that this course went further into classes and larger scope programs but I'm sure that is included in the subsequent courses. So glad I had the opportunity to learn everything I did in this course. Thanks Dr. Severance and Coursera!

A great way to learn and from the comfort of my own home. I am really getting a lot out of the course. I am taking the advice of the teacher and am playing with what I have already learned. That is making all the difference in the world to me. It is a good idea that I am lucky enough to take advantage of, thank all of you people that have made this happen.

Your the Best!!

It was an excellent course and I learned a lot from its content. This course taught me several things like: what cycles mean and how they behave in a code, what conditionals mean and how they behave in a code, what were the reserved words in python, how should I name my variables inside a code, how do the functions created by one behave and the reserved functions of python.

Thank You Coursera & the faculty members of University of Mechegan who for providing online courses & guidance for the students in the 3rd world like me . I have really really really liked and loved this course, It was very thorough and detailed ...

Now I can clearly and confidently say that I can write and understand python 3 and even 2 code.

Dr. Chuck ...God bless you

This was the most interesting course I did on Coursera. And it was all due to Professor Charles.

He made sure it was interesting to learn Python with his silly humor and a deep explanation of every topic with the help of examples. Although I had prior programming experience still I am quite sure even for a beginner this would have been a suitable course to start programming.

This is an excellent course for basic programming knowledge for many reasons:

The instructor,Charles Severance, has an easy way to break down concepts and make them easily understandable.

There are exercise with feedback and very well explained solutions.

The studying materials are also provided as pdf.

I highly recommend it for anyone that would like to start learning python!

My first step in becoming programmer. This curse don't teach you programming in exact meaning of this word. It teaches you syntax and general rules & how to put code together. What is more valuable is that it teaches you to think how computers think and so how to talk to them, which is in my opinion the most valuable skill you can learn in IT in general. THANK YOU Coursera!

This course was the first course I took in programming. I am an MD with zero math skills. It was fantastic. It was great for my level and I'm now more confident that I can learn and use python. The lecture and the book which are free were very understandable. Dr Charles is a fantastic teacher. This is by far the greatest course I've took via Coursera. Thank you Dr. Charles.

This is my first Python specializaiton course in Cousera. I am a non-programming learners, so actually I was a little nervous about I wandor if I could understand what the teacher might talk about. But as I joined in the course and watch the video materials, I become more and more relax and motivated to take this specialization. Dr. Charles was really nice and considerable.

The instructor for this course is very good at teaching the Python language. He also teaches in a way that makes learning the Python language fun. I made sure to take notes from this course, as I find the content of this course to be very helpful for me in learning the Python language. I am very thankful to be one of the lucky people to learn about this course on Coursera.

It was a very interesting class with a very interesting professor. The lecture content is easy to understand, and the course contains not only knowledge of Python, but also interesting vlogs of the professor's life, which also makes everyone understand the professor better. I really wish I could go to the University of Michigan and attend one of his live classes in person.

Coursera is the best platform ever for learning any computer programming language . i love the course Pythion for Everybody and i learned a lot . My instructor for this course was Dr Chuck clinical professor of University of Michigan , he is an excellent instructor and he taught me in best way and from his explanation I learned a lot . I thank the coursera team very much.

I enjoyed taking this course so much! Before I started taking this course, I knew nothing about programming nor Python. I still don't know a lot, but I was very surprised about how much I enjoyed taking this course, because I was in the healthcare field, and decided to shift my career path to 180 degree. I look forward to take more courses that are instructed by Dr. Chuck!

The course is really great.I know programming in C and so I could complete the course in short time.People who are new to programming can find this course very useful.Don't miss it.Start learning the language to communicate with python :) :).This is how the instructor says often.Really,I can't leave without appreciating the instructor.He is so cool and so good in teaching.

I really enjoyed the course. I would like to say explicitly that you can either watch the videos or read the chapter in the text. Since they were essentially the same information, I found teaching myself with the text more efficient, and then working on the assignments to work best for me. I also retained the information a little better (due to my personal learning style).

One of the best courses I have ever completed and it's all because of the way Charles Russell Severance teaches. It is simple, subtle, comic, and interesting. I had no prior knowledge before the course and now I can understand programming. It has also increased my enthusiasm and interest in Python. Thank you, Charles. Thank you, University of Michigan. Thank you, Coursera.

This course is explicit and easy to follow for those who have zero knowledge of Python or programming. The Prof. is nice and humorous. His instruction is natural as we are taking a physical class. If you are a newbie for programming and want to learn more about Python, I highly recommend this course. Thank you, Univesity of Michigan and Prof. for implementing this course.

Just like it says, it is programming for everybody - It lived upto it's name and ofcourse explained every bit in detail and anyone who does not know python would definitely get to know a major chunk to start of their work in python from this work. I would like to thank Dr Chuck, his team and also coursera and their members for putting this up for the benefit of the people.

The way he teaches is really beginner friendly as well as experienced python programmer friendly.

I just had to refresh my python 3, so I breezed through the course within 4 hours. I had to watch is videos but at 1.75x, it was really a refresher. If you're coming for a recap of python, you'll easily breeze through the entire course, right from Week 1 to 7 within 3-4 hours.

After completing the specialization, I can say that this is a thorough course for Python programming that starts from the very basics to a pretty in depth understanding of the programming language. It provides with a complete set of skills that can be applied to your very needs. Highly recommended for beginners and people that want to consolidate their knowledge in Python.

One of the best Professors. he takes things slow and same time ensures you understand everything and not miss on most obvious things. His experience with students helps a lot. Professor knows what mistakes student is going to make in certain programs and clarifies that for students very well before. Overall learning online experience is also very nice. Thank you Coursera.

Very good course, i enjoyed it very much.Any beginner student can do this course, Dr charles ,our instructor made it easy and full of excitement. Do this course without skipping a second because each second inspire you for becomming a good programmer. Thank you Coursera, Michigan university and also Dr. charles severance sir for building such good course on this platform.

This course is obviously a 5 star class..

But! I would appreciate a bit more help during some assignments.

I'm sure the staff is doing the best it can, but when you pay, you expect something small back. The certificate is really not the issue here, it's the knowledge.

Besides that, the course is amazing. Couldn't have asked for a better entrance to the world of programming.

The content of the first course is basic, I know that it ignores some complicated concepts so new beginners can get through Python quickly. I think this course is friendly for new learners and helpful for me because I can get into other courses as quickly as I can.

Thanks! The concepts contained in this class is easy to understand, and I will recommend it to my classmates

Great introduction to Python from a knowledgeable instructor who moves through the material at the right pace to maintain ones attention and interest. I managed the 7 week course (despite a full time corporate job, which asks a lot this time of year) in around 2 weeks which has made me motivated to keep going. Looking forward to moving onto the rest of the specialization.
