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.

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.

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.

I have loved this course so far. I had a bit of knowledge of coding Python before but this gave a much more solid basis to move on than doing it alone might have. Dr Chuck is a really good teacher and I would definitely advise taking this course and any others that he may be teaching.

Awesomely constructed course for beginning Python programming. As a programmer in C++, I found this course refreshing and helpful in getting into the syntax. Most of the ideas are the same across from Python and C++, so I was able to finish it in 3 days. Overall great course! Go Blue!

This was a great course but i have one big problem that encountered me

Dr Chuck reads the code from power point sheets and even if there was a worked example he is only read the code and run yes he explain it but i need to learn how and why i write this code not just see it and run it

The course was well structured, materials and instruction videos were clear and to the point and Prof. Chuk, course instructor was very hands-on with relevant and easy to understand code samples that helped drive home the point on every course. I highly recommend python for everybody.

The pace for every class was a little bit fast for real beginners and the instructor did not explain every details on the slides. Sometimes you need to find definitions and explanations for the content on your own. But overall a great class for beginners if you have time and patience.

Great course. Even as a college instructor myself, I found the course entertaining and useful. Even from a pedagogical standpoint, I took away a few tricks, and also learned some of the nuances of Python that are substantially or sometimes just slightly different from other languages.

A good introductory course. Quite 'easy' but an excellent primer for what comes later. Giving 5 stars as could run lectures at 1.5 speed / pause at appropriate times. Most importantly I did not need to conform to the advised weeks and could just do at own pace. So very convenient.

I am a new learner of Python. The structure of this course helps me a lot to understand Python. It starts from the basics so that I can follow the lesson easily. The interesting and, at the same time, challenging is that they also provide exercises. It is great to follow this course.

Very good course to start your programming journey with. It's very important that you don't move on to the next chapter until you have read, taken notes, and understood the same chapter in the book. READ THE BOOK, very important, video lectures explain well, but the book covers more.
