This course is a very perfect course for someone who want to start his programming life. As a rookie in computer science, I feel very gainful in this course, I will recommend to my friends this course and finally hope teachers here and students who study together with me have a happy day!

I've struggled mightily in the past with attempts at learning a programming language from the ground up. Dr. Severance really did a fantastic job with his lectures. The pace is just right for someone who doesn't just start off as a natural. Looking forward to the next course! Thank you!

The content is awesome and with a great lecturer like Mr. Charles, the course is extraordinary. the university is gifted to have a lecturer like him and its a pleasure to be one of his students. Thanks a lot sir and thank you Coursera for helping out students during these lockdown times.

This course is amazing! It is so fun to start learning a programming language that focuses on implementation rather than syntax. This course is made fun by the Instructor Dr. Charles Severance who uses simple language and effective demonstrations to guide us through the course. Loved it!

Un curso realmente bueno para un principiante, aunque no tiene muchos ejercicios de práctica, se explica muy bien de forma simple los conceptos fundamentales para empezar en este largo mundo de la programación. Los subtitulos y la buena dicción del tutor facilitan también el aprendizaje.

No me imaginé que hacer un curso me iba a hacer reír y aprender tanto al mismo tiempo..excelente profesor, organización y exposición de ideas..me hubiese gustado más prácticos de código, pero igualmente no queda más que seguir experimentando con soluciones a problemas que se me presenten

Coming from a long break after C++, this was really amazing and informative. The professor does not push information into your face, he explains everything, I mean everything, even how the computer processes your program. I truly recommend this course to anyone living in the 20th century

My major concern before starting this was could I keep up with the workload while working a full time job. The combination of community forums in addition to lectures that allow you to pause, and take notes makes it very easy to keep up! I enjoyed the lecturer and courses use of modules.

Charles Severance teaches the python language from the scratch. He teaches in a comfortable zone and more over he find how to travel the same in the future sessions too. the bridge between each lesson is built perfectly, such that the student can able to get the continuity of the course.

its awesome course .this is my first online course and i had a great experience its fun learning this course and its a new way i had learned its a better way to learn anything anywhere anytime .thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for having such a great experience of learning .

It was a really cool class. The instructor taught very well. The language was easy to understand and it felt like a real classroom. The exercises were helpful and gave me an introductory level heads up in Python. I would love to complete the next 4 courses in this specialization as well.

It completely took away my fear of online courses. The learning and assignments are smooth and well done. The teacher is great and knows how to approach the material so anyone can learn. The only negative is week two always shows incomplete. I wanted it to be all green, but GREAT course.

This course was amazing! The professor does an excellent job of presenting the material and the mentors are very helpful. Also the course has many useful resources: video series, ibook text, practice questions, forum , and help center. I am looking forward to taking the next course!!!

I had some experience with programming from 25 years ago, but I think that the videos, the book chapters, and the mentors that supported the discussions were all fantastic. I would highly recommend the class, and I would highly recommend Coursera in general. Thank you for the opportunity

I have taken a handful of programming classes through my university. This one beats them all.

Dr. Chuck explains complex concepts in simple terms that even I, a CS student turned Business student, can understand how to communicate with a computer.

All I have to say is: thanks, Dr. Chuck!

I loved this class! It was challenging but didn't take over my life (I have a full time job), and I think I got a good handle on the basics.

The professor is really entertaining and is great at teaching. I definitely recommend this to someone trying to get an introduction to programming.

Very good. But, I think the assignment session should be more flexible. For example, in the last assignment, the answer is "Maximum is 10", my programme result is "Maximum 10", I lost "is". I checked my code hundreds of times lol. Anyway, This is a very nice course for python beginner.

This is the perfect course for someone who has never coded anything before. As someone who was already coming from a CS background even, I found it extremely helpful how the teacher takes their time to explain the most basic concepts so that a student may not be confused between syntax.

A well-curated course, eloquently designed to effectively teach anyone, it is particularly easy to grasp especially among students who have not had any experiencing programming before applying for the course. All of the materials provided for the course are relevant and extremely useful

Very helpful if you just start to learn programming. Dr.chuck is good teacher and lectures are interesting. You will lost in assignments a bit but after you read text book, do exercises from textbook and give some time, it will pass easily. Overall i am quite satisfied with this course.

This course has really created an interest in programming! Its learning process is fun throughout the completion of the course. I am extremely thankful to Charles severance sir for making it look so easy for the learner irrespective of the background that the learner is coming from. :)

The courses are easy to understand and build up my knowledge in python gradually! It also comes with projects to practice. The practice video provides guidance and was helpful too. If one thing to improve, it could be better if Dr.Chuck gives more affirmations at the end of the course.

Python is very beginner friendly. Its conciseness, expressiveness and likeliness to English contributes to its choice for rookies. Its readability complements this and also it is an interpreted language. Just have a look at this Python Syntaxtutorial and see it is to be a python person.

Great introduction that got me back into Python programming. I had previously learned to use Python in architecture school, but it had been too long for me to remember much. I'm glad I found this wonderful resource. You're a talented teacher, and I can't wait to take your other courses!

Instructor is very good. If you've got any experience in programming, going through the first class can be a bit tedious, but I found I was able to complete it very quickly with the C++ and Python I knew going into the class and was able to complete the class in a matter of a few hours.
