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.

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.

The level of teaching is unique! The teacher is amazing and i believe is the best course to start learning programming! Python is very interesting, with a lot of potentials and i think is a very good start for programming skills and deep understanding of how languages are structured.

My first online course that I completed. I dedicate this accomplishment to Dr. Severance. I looks him as Prof. Snip of Harry Potter who teaches us the language of snake. He is one of the best professor I met. Anyone who is new in programming I would recommend this course very likely.

Very entertaining. Classical way of teaching. I like it very much. And "Thank You Coursera" for sponsoring it to me. I would like to learn more if get financial assistance. I hope Coursera will allow me to learn and upgrade my abilities with best of knowledge they had.

Thank you ALL.

Fue un curso sencillo pero completo, con todo lo básico que hay que saber para empezar a aprender Python. Cumplió todas mis expectativas y me ayudo mucho a recordar lo que sabia anteriormente de Python y algún tema que no había visto. Pienso continuar sin duda con el resto de cursos.

great content ! great teaching style ! I like the way the teaching staff has a flow of contents one after the another.

just one feedback, w can increase the number of problems in the assignment which will give us a better grasp of the learned concepts and help us further in the course

For someone who never got in contact with programming I think you pass fast by the contente, but you have all you need in here, you just need to pay more attention to the class and do a lot of exercises. For me it was a great review of basics and particularities of python and syntax.

The best online course I've taken so far! The instructor does an amazing job of breaking down the basic principles of Python in an easy to understand way! The forum mentors do a great job if you're stuck as well! Finally, the course assignments and auto-grade tools were fantastic!

This course is pretty well taught. As one may infer from its name, is an introduction to the Python language. The professor gives clear examples for all the key concepts he presentes. I would totally recommend this course for anyone who doesn't have prior expirience with programming.
