Professor Severance is pretty good at explaining the concept and his lectures were not only clear but fun! He also makes some jokes and lists some examples to help us understand the concept. I feel like I've learned a lot about python and get a good start at learning computer languages!

It's designed keeping Newbies in mind. It takes us through all the possibilities of Python in such a manner that even a person who has never coded before can start coding immediately. It's a must have for all Programming enthusiasts. One of the best courses for MOOC.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This is the best Online course i have ever had in my life.The session feel more alive and learning is really so fun and all the credits goes to Charles Severance, Associate Professor .I would like to THANK him for the best course and purely suggest everyone who are interested in Python

Very nice course to learn python

It starts from the very beginning and offers a very step by step approach. I had started to learn alone (with books) and i was afraid the course would be for beginners with none experience only, but i will recommend it anyway for "false beginners"

thanks !

I love this course, professor is so amazing, since I have enrolled in this course, my day doesn't end without taking a lecture (which is not easy after work). After DASI (Data Analysis & Statistical Inference) course from Duke University, I have found this the best course. Thumbs up !!!

This is an excellent introduction for beginners and there are good explanations by the instructor. I just wish there were more problems or assignments provided for practice. Overall, I recommend this course to anyone with no programming background looking to take a step into that world.

Brilliant for anyone totally new to programming, however even with basic experience in another language you may find it slow, in which case you may wish to skim through the lecture transcripts and pick out the important bits and just make sure you have the Python syntax etc figured out

Great introduction to Python. I had zero prior experience to Python and I must say that Prof. Severance made all the techniques in this course very clear. The videos were short and to the point, the slides were really helpful and the exercises well constructed. Overall, great course!

Great course for all those who wanted to learn programming but got disappointed or overwhelmed by too much language jargons or out-of-pace instructions. Dr. Chuck made this course so understandable and learnable that most of such enthusiasts can learn very easily. Great work Dr. Chuck!

Un curso muy completo que te enseña los conceptos básicos de python y te anima a seguir con los siguientes cursos del programa de especialización. Recomiendo totalmente este curso en parte también por el profesor que lo imparte, Dr. Chuck, ya que él hace mucho más interesante la clase.

the tutor is really amazing.he never at a moment made me realize that i am learning one of the toughest thing once i thought.it was really an amazing course i have atttended.thank you for making me realize that computer languages and programming is not that much difficult as i thought.

This is an amazing course. Although I am a beginner in programming, and I enjoyed every single video of the course. Homework sometimes could get difficult, but everybody could overcome these difficulties; however, the satisfaction of running a program made by yourself is indescribable.

One of the best online courses I have ever taken. Very easy and descriptive enough to start and finish as a beginner. The exercises are quite engaging and lets the students do all the brain-storming and also helps the students with the solved answers if needed for the initial lessons.

Oh my god. The professor is the coolest professor on earth. He can connect with students very easily.The course was full of learning with fun. Really helps me a lot. Thanks to Coursera for offering such an wonderful course. This course gives me a jump start to programming with python.

I have been trying to upskill for sometime now. Charles is such an awesome instructor, he made learning Python( still in early stages though, but it got me engaged) like a cake walk. I loved the way he explained things. Looking forward to go deeper and learn Python to gain expertise.

I strongly recommend this course to those peoples who want start with python programming. Because it is starting from very basics. And the way of teaching of Dr. Chuk is awesome. I have cleared all my basics of python programming from this course. Thanks for reading ! Have a nice day !

An excellent course which explains the basics of Python in the best way possible. Thanks to Dr. Charles Severance. Overall gave a very good idea about the python programming language. Thanks to University of Michigan for introducing a course like this with the support of Dr. Severance.

Even though I knew I could count on the teaching staff to get help, Charles Severance is so clear and thorough that I did not even need that help.

Sure, I got stuck on one exercise. Sure, my friend pasted my code and successfully run it without making any changes. Life sucks sometimes.

I loved coursera bu this platform i can learn python basic and in future i expand this course.

The tutor of the python everybody is good and easy explanation and easy understanding.

finally i want to tell thanks for all employe who is work for the coursera thaks a lot thak you very much.

Fantastic course! It suited for absolute beginners and programming newbies. All concepts are clearly explained, jargon is minimal and defined before being used and practice questions and assignments are a great way to put theory to practice. Overall, a brilliant and well-paced course.

Great course, and great instructions, videos and exercies too.

For those that want a bit more training than the quizzes and assignments in the actual course, a wonderful book is available, with great presentation and useful exercises.

Great job. I'm signing up for the next one right now.

Professor Charles Severance makes learning the basics of python a very interactive and smooth experience, i had no issues at all while doing the assignments in the course because of how he had explained everything step by step and i could go back to his lessons and correct my mistakes.

This is my first online course outside of the ones that my company has generated. It has been more enjoyable than i expected. I am very please with the format and content so am looking forward to the course.

It did get more challenging as I got closure to the end, but that a good thing.

I am a real fan of this MOOC and this is why.

I followed many MOOC and always had the impression the people were reading some sort of script. here I have the impression the presenter is talking to me, in my language and in a comprehensible language.

Please carry on and high five to you!

This course is a fantastic intro to Python for beginners. Dr. Chuck does a great job breaking down programming basics, like loops, functions, and variables, in a super easy-to-understand way. No prior experience is needed, and the exercises help you practice what you learn right away.
