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.

Overall, a great introduction for newbys like myself.

The lecturer/professor knows what he's doing and that's what important factor is. You just can't rush towards something because you want master, it takes time and needs patience; I am sure Chuck knows all these and hence 5 stars.

This is one of the finest courses for people who want to get started with python. The resources available here are abundant to review, learn and attempt the assignments . Besides, Dr.chuck(instructor) simplifies the complex concepts in a way that a novice can understand programming.

Course 1 is accessible for most people, even those without any basic Python knowledge. I had been studied social science for almost 6 years but I feel comfortable when I took this course. I would like to thank Dr. Chunk for making this Python course understandable and acceptable :)

I have always attempted to learn Python in bits and pieces, But after opting this course, it was all systematic. Dr. Chuck is so easy and do understand what the student must be thinking. I loved the course and now my confidence level In Python has increased to 1 level. Thanks again.

This course is well-paced and the instructor is engaging. It's clear if you don't have any experience with programming, but not insanely boring if you already do have some. It's also well structured. The order of the weekly topics is logical and leads well from one week to the next.

Dr. Severance has made Python easy to learn by explaining all aspects of code. I have taken several Python courses and they would add code but not explain their meaning or use making it difficult to learn. I was making assumptions and not learning. Thanks, Dr. Severance, Great Job!

I usually don't like lectures, but I really enjoyed these. They were quite short and straight to the point. I knew some basics and at first i though it was too easy, but the last tasks were a bit confusing and the last one took me 2 days to complete. Brilliant course for beginners!

Detailed class content that give me a clear understanding on basic knowledge of Python Programming. I recommend this course especially to beginners, this course can really provide you a great foundational knowledge. I hope that I chose this as my first Python course but not others.

I enjoyed the course very much. One interesting section I observed here is the bonus videos in every week. the office hours chats, interviews of different tech personalities. Recommendation and Provision of book for self detailed study was just awesome stuff.

Really Really Good!!!

The course was an excellent introduction to Python. I had learned Python once 10 years ago, but need to learn it again for graduate school. The concepts were presented in a logical, engaging, and straightforward manner. I was motivated to continue with the course series at the end.

An extremely helpful course for programmers with existing knowledge who are just looking to learn the structures in Python. The classes are perfect for beginners too! Everything is taught from the ground up so that people who are completely new to programming can also learn easily.

My Heartily Thanks and Compliments to the Coursera Team and my Teacher Doc. Chuck who invoke me to learn more n more day by day and make me stand from beginner to a Level where I can understand what the Python is. Thank you so much to all and pray for everything best in your lives.

Great course for those wanting to get into python. If you are already a programmer, you probably will want something more intensive. As someone who last took a programming course 25+ years ago this was a perfect re-introduction to the field and most specifically to python syntax.

This is best course I ever took and I took many of them. Prof. Charles Severance is best teacher I ever had including real life :) And trainings are really challenging which makes successes more delicious :)

Thanks everybody who worked in this project. I am looking for next courses.

Really enjoyed this course. A great source for beginners. The instructor is very clear and easily understandable. His method is also very engrossing, which is a great thing because sometimes programming courses are so so much filled with jargon, that they get boring. 5 stars!!!! :D

Glad I had someone to tell me about this. I was trying to learn just by reading and was not getting it at all. This course is awesome. I am actually just a business major with no programming background at all. I am very excited to continue to the other courses! Thank you very much!

Great course for beginners. I am a student of Electrical Engineering and had no previous hands on experience of Python. This course is very basic and Dr. Charles is an awesome teacher, the way he explains, he is also humorous and makes sure that you don't feel bored in any video..!

Thought I reviewed already. Is a great introductory class to not just python, but programming in general. I highly recommend this course for beginner programmers. Intermediate and advance users who have to take this for the specialization should just do the quizzes and assignments.

I really love this course and Dr. Chuck who makes those new concepts very easy and funny to grasp. I am looking forward to seek new opportunity for my career by studying python through some courses provided by coursera. And I find this course a really good introduction to python 3.

This was an excellent opening to the later, more advanced classes. The instructor is very good at presenting the material in an easy-to-understand style and the advancements are in just the right incremental level to give a student a good feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction.
