I completed the course in about three days. I've never programmed before to the learning curve was excruciating but nonetheless I managed to get through and finally get my python feet wet so to speak.

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.

One of the best online courses to learn Python. In my humble opinion, “Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python” by Charles Severance, is a fantastic way to learn Python. This online Python course is aiming at beginners. Python is a great and friendly language to use and learn.

Really Good! Professor Chuck is very good at teaching. His lectures have so much fun and every lecture contains exactly enough material that not too much nor too difficult. And it is not too easy that make you feel boring. You need to pay attention and concentrate. I really like the course.

Great course. Very basic. But well taught and clearly explained concepts. If you are already familiar with programming concepts take a more advanced course. But for anyone needing a boost in confidence, or to pick up programming without feeling intimidated this is a very good course to take.

A fantastic instructor. The course delivers what it says...programming for **everybody** and **getting started** with Python. I liked the gradual way in which topics and concepts were introduced. The exercises were challenging enough to keep me interested and easy enough to solve in the end.

Love Professor Chuck’s Python course. It’s the best. I really enjoyed learning online. The course is very engaging and easy to follow. Everything is explained well. It makes me looking forward to challenging myself and writing codes. Maybe one day I can also become a good software engineer!

The course is excellent. It is very well presented to beginners like me and although the homeworks look easy sometimes they are tricky and invite you to make an effort to completely understand your code.

Congratulations to the Proferssor and the Staff for these great job. Thanks a lot.

This was one of the best learning experience I've ever had. Never knew online learning was this much fun. Ass. Prof Charles made learning so much enjoyable. The explanation was pretty simple and to the point. As promised by Ass. Prof. Charles anyone can learn this regardless of his faculty.

As a beginner in programming, i felt this course very entertaining. All the assignments were so good. Also i was able to understand each and every material. I suggest everyone to go through this course as you'll be able to say to someone "yes i know. instead of saying i have heard about it"

I had never taken a programming course earlier. This is my first class programming class. And actually it is a very good and well organized course for a beginner. I had a lot of fun along learning new things. I highly recommend this course for anybody who want to start learning programming.

The video lectures are excellent for somebody with limited programming experience to understand the basics easily. The short videos followed by the exercises keep you motivated you to keep going. Thank you for making the learning process exciting. Looking forward to the subsequent Chapters.

An amazing course for beginners in programing. If you want to get more understanding regarding software programming that is definitely it.

The course is too easy for someone who has programming background, not a minus to course at all, just some information to be considered before taking it.

It is excellent, don't forget to take your time, and to read the free textbook. I flew through the weeks and completely forgot about the textbook which would have really reinforced my learning and committed it to my memory, hoping I can remember everything for the next portion of the course

It was great learning experience. Prof Severance is a fantastic teacher, though it's an online class I always felt I was getting an in class experiece. His way of teaching is very engaging and one doesn't feel like skipping a minute of the class also , if someone is eve aware of the basics.

Excelente para comenzar con el lenguaje de programación de Phyton, es cierto que si se tienen conocimientos en programación resulta mas sencillo y se realiza en menor tiempo sin embargo si no se tienen las explicaciones son claras para poder empezar de cero. Gracias por esta clase de cursos

This course is amazing. I didn't study any knowledge of programming before I Join the course. Now, I think I have not only the basic programming knowledge of python but clear logic . I pretty appreciate DR.Severance that he is such a great professor to teach me a lot programming knowledge.

The course "Programming for Everybody [ with Python ]" is a very good initial start up course who want to learn python from the beginning. After i have completed this course, i have got a level of confidence to program in python and the 5 week dedication has helped me to become much better.

Dr. Chuck is deeply inspiring in the way he makes this course so much more than just some information you could find in a book or internet forum. It's noticeable how he cares for keeping students interested, motivated and how not only he wants us to learn python, but to learn how to learn.

Great course for beginners. I already knew most of this material, but the instructor clarified a few things I didn't 'get' fully before. Also, there were a few ideas he presented that I had not thought of before. I have a new and clearer perspective and a better foundation going forward.

This is the best course for Python Basics. You don't need any prior knowledge to learn this course. The instructor teaches from very basics. He tries his best to combine coding things with real-world examples. If you are trying to dive into the world of coding then this course is worth it.

Really liked this course and was able to speed through it (it was a 7 week course and I finished in 3 days). Thought the pace of the course was perfect and the exercises were useful in learning the material- I would've maybe just preferred a few more exercises to complete for each chapter.

Before now, I've been trying so hard to crack into the Python programming language, but its been difficult. Taking this course seems to be the best decision I made towards my Python journey. The course was well thought and broken down to its simplest form. Thanks to Prof Charles Severance.
