Great introduction to Python and programming as a whole. Everything is broken down making it easy to understand. Had zero programming experience before and this class made it easy and fun to get into.

Excellent, although, even without having any programming experience except some Visual Basic at school about ten years ago, in my opinion the course could have bee more difficult and the pace quicker.

Very enjoyable and well taught course. This course will give me the ability in the future to utilize Python in my everyday learning, as well as hopefully aid me to learn and better understand other programming languages. The teacher Charles Severence was a fantastic teacher and explained things very well.

Having no prior programming experience, this class was a great introduction. Dr. Chuck's made the course material feel intuitive, and were complemented nicely by the reading material and exercises. Each chapter built on the previous chapters nicely. Looking forward to taking the next course in the series!

This is an excellent initiative to educate the world. I hope that the course reaches great heights. I believe that the one who completes this course will proudly say "Hey! If I can teach a computer (through Python), then I can teach anyone in need."
This course really makes "Programming for Everybody"!! :)

I used to do a lot of very simple programming when I was younger, but let it slide over the past decade or so. Being a total newcomer to Python, I really appreciated the solid foundation that this course provides, and I'm looking forward to furthering my knowledge of Python with the other related courses.

Videos were simplified and easy to follow supplemented by new exercises, support from experts on forums and the textbook. All materials were easy to access and could be paused or re-watched as needed to get a further understanding. Best coding class I have ever taken. Thank you Dr. Severance and team!!!!

it's a very great course for those who have zero background in programming. But if you have a little knowledge in other programming knowledge, I will suggest you skip this one.
this is very fundamental class, simple and catchy. The professor successfully made this topic very interesting and easy to learn.

Very easy and inviting approach, and at the same time, very detailed and interesting to follow. I never had a dull moment throughout my learning experience. Also, the teaching assistant in the discussion group is very helpful and always there. Now, I understand what it means that Python is easy to learn.

Es muy buen curso, me encantó, lo único que encontré de negativo fue el hecho de que dijeran que estaba subtitulado al español pero la realidad es que solo hay un par de capítulos que se encuentran en este idioma, pero lo demás esta muy bien como para empezar en el mundo de la programación. Lo recomiendo

As a beginner in Python Language, I found this 7-week course very comprehensive and also made me so comfortable to code. Our tutor, Prof. Charles, explains the basic concepts of programming and coding syntaxes very clearly and with a bit of humour :)
I thoroughly enjoyed all the classes of this Course-1.

Great course! I didnt think I could complete a course in programming... From the outside, I always thought it was too abstract. But Dr. Severance is a great teacher! He makes python programming seem so easy. I know it gets tougher from here but Mehn, if I can complete this, then I can complete any other.

It may seem like a slow start, especially if you understand the basics of programming, but actually it is great that Dr. Chuck walks you through it all with easy examples and a great teaching style!
Would recommend this to anybody who starts out with coding above self-teaching resources like Code Academy.

I found this course to be both well designed and interestingly presented. It kept my attention and has made me crave for more Python. I have already signed up for another course!
Many thanks to Dr. Chuck and the Teaching Assistants for all their efforts to help me along the journey to Pythonic excellence.

This course is very well-paced, organized, engaging, and fun, and Dr. Severance brings a lot of enthusiasm, passion, and humor to it that you might not expect in your typical computer programming class. I'm grateful that Coursera offers this course and looking forward to the next courses in this series!

Amazing course for beginners who want to pick up on Python. For the more ambitious student, it might be better to have another book with more exercises because the course don't have too many. Overall, Dr. Severance does an amazing job of presenting the material! Easy to understand and very entertaining.

I have attempted to learn python before but found it boring and difficult. However, after this course, I have not only grasped the basics of python, but am also moving forward to learn even more. I have also found the textbook 'Python for Everybody' incredibly easy to understand. Overall a 10/10 for me.

This is the best course for getting started with Python. I have done this course in specialization of Python. In this course I have learned the basics of python and willing to learn more. Dr. Chuk is really nice instructor. I liked this course very much and looking forward to complete my specialization.

Very well structured course content. Easy to understand and follow. Just don't forget that the included exercises do not automatically make you an expert so if you want to enroll make sure to set aside a bit of extra time for additional reading and hands on coding to really make the most of this course.

This is a wonderful course - both personally and professionally. Incredibly informative I will take away lots of things that I can quickly and easily apply in my professional career. The most important part is that I enjoyed every bit of the session & practiced well and completed everything in on time.

This course was very useful. I'am doing my M.E Automotive Engineering and i just thought knowing additional programming language would be very useful. The Instructor is very talented in making the audience understand the programming concept effectively. Thank you so much for letting me have this Course.

If you are a complete beginner in the Programming world then this course here is the perfect platform to kickstart your coding journey. The instructor always makes sure that he explains each technical jargon in simple relatable English and his way of teaching is good. He never makes his lectures boring.

It was a pleasure learning experience and I am glad I got this opportunity to learn programming at this point of my career. Being a non-technical person this platform is giving a ray of hope that I can survive in this technical world. I never thought I could start programming, but now I can say - I can.

It is such an amazing experience! Even though I am from life science back ground, I am now able to write programmes in python without any syntax errors. I am so fascinated to continue my learnings in data science and R in none other than coursera. Thank you so much #Charles severance and #coursera team!

This course was an amazing introduction to programming in Python. Dr. Severance does a great job introducing the material and walking the viewer through logic exercise/implementing code. I look forward to taking the next courses in the certificate program and expanding upon what I have learned thus far!

Chuck is a very good teacher, he using the simply example to explain the complex thing, and most "simple example" is genius ideal, they must be pay a lot on the background of the class. I learn python is for extend my technical knowledge and for more working opportunities, I trust the class can help me.
