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.

it was very good and informative course. I learn a lot of things in this course and I get interested in computer science and analysis. I think programming is really beautiful cause it is base on some very fundamental logics and when you thing vividly through these logics you see beauty of it

I am grateful I took this course. I really thank Charles. The videos are clear and entertaining. The examples are simple and this is particularly important if you are just starting. Otherwise, you may get desperate and disappointed. I can only recommend you take it. You will really enjoy it!

Just amazing start with Python! Learnt not just the syntax and semantics of language but the very essence of why we code and how it should start. Looking forward to next courses and understand more concepts.

Thanks a lot Team at University of Michigan, Coursera and the very special Dr. Chuk!

It was very well detailed and beginner friendly course.Professor Charles Russell Severance didn't assume the student was experienced in coding and created a fun environment and also introduced the python world which was inspiring.If you want to learn about Python i would highly recommend it.

Great foundation to build from if you are new to python. I'm an experienced R user and python is very different than R from a syntax and execution standpoint. This course was very helpful as a "level-setting" for me to focus myself within python and not approach it as an R user doing python.

One of the best course available to learn the basics of Python. The course not just teaches the theoretical aspects but also provides us to experiment the knowledge gained by programming the code for the given problem statements. Professor and the mentors help us a lot throughout the course.

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
