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.

This course explained the basics of programming really well! I have already taken a java course(AP computer science) so other than the python syntax, it was all review. However, he really explained all the content in a completely understandable matter so this course was excellent.

Great introduction to Python programming language. Self-paced course with videos/classes that cover broadly the contents needed to perform the required exercises/assignments. The course book also provides extra material and consists of a solid reference manual for Python learners.

Course is very well structured, I really liked the way Dr.chuck is explaining, The exercises at the end of each week helped me a lot to actually implement what i have learned and some of the exercise seems to be a little complex, and yes this course is 'Programming for Everybody'.

A very well thought out and planned coursework with emphasis on general programming logic. I would like to congratulate Professor Charles on his contributions as a teacher. I really liked the flow of the program. Looking forward to more such topics !! Thanks a lot :))

This is my first time learning from a foreign Professor. It was a great experience for me. And this course was very understandable. The way Professor Charles Severance explaining things is very interesting. As a beginner I have learnt so many things about python from this course.

Had an amazing experience in learning this course. Great effort by the Professor. He explained the topics in detail. Python is an essential course which required proper training in order to learn it. I was lucky enough to learn the course from Coursera By University of Michigan.

The Material was very easy to digest and understand which I found to be really very helpful and I really enjoyed how the class challenged me as opposed to just being a code along. You will definitely be seeing more of me!. Big Thanks to Mr.Severance on a well put together course.

The course is good despite some troubles in solving the problem. I wish the course coordinator providing some downloadable PDF lecture notes for student reference so that we can catch up the course without having to re-watch the video, in case internet connection gets cut off.

I loved the content and helped me a great deal to finally be able to program without crashing my computer with infinite loops. I'll definitely take the specialization on programming and data analysis.Professor Charles Severance is the best, i hope i can be as good as him one day.

The course has been explained beautifully and it is easy to maintain attention in the lectures as Professor Severance knows how to keep students focused by cracking random jokes in between. I am thankful for this course and looking forward to starting the next course in the bunch

This is a great course! Although I had learnt python when I was an undergraduate geology student, now I could learn a lot of concepts and details about programming that I did not know.

Congratulations Mr. Charles Severance, your passion and dedication made this course a great one!

Suitable for the first time learner of Python, even with someone who doesn't have any programming background. After I passed the test 5.2, I don't realize I have finished all the courses and gained my certificate! I will continue on further advanced classes of Python on Coursera.

The course is very nice for beginners with no prior experience or knowledge. The course also has lot of valuable information and stuff to learn from that I haven't found in usual internet sites. The course and videos are awesome and are best in teaching the concepts with clarity.

I love this class, and it makes to love python. If you guys do not know which course to take as a beginner, choosing this one is obviously the best choice for you. Also, a good teacher who make materials easier and more interesting to understand will help you think more on this.

A Great Course for absolute beginners who are starting their career with PYTHON.

Office hours, Introductory videos in between lectures gives more motivation to know more about the course.

Overall a Great Experience and looking forward to take more courses from Michigan University.

The course is totally worth one's time. Through his exceptional teaching ability, Dr. Charles is able to simplify the topic so that even a non-programmer would understand the fundamentals of the language. The quiz and assignments surely made sure that we understood the concepts.

Mr Chuck (The instructor of this course) is just awesome for the beginners and leveraging to the expert level. Despite, being so much educated he teaches like he's teaching to a 5-year old kid.Moreover, the interview with Mr Guido Van Rossum was just awesome and inspirational.!!

As a computer Science student i am learning many languages, this course helped me a lot and cleared all my doubts. I would strongly recommend this course for those who are willing to study python from basics. Also, it was a great journey with professor Charles Russell Severance.
