A very insightful course especially for ones with little to no background of Python or any programming language! Also, credits to Dr.C.Severance who kept the sessions very lively and the general learning environment light and positive without compromising on quality of content!

Excellent course. I've had minimal exposure with Python up to this point, but this class has made me familiar enough that I can read basic programs and code as well. Of course I would not say that I am an expert programmer, but I am certainly on my way towards being proficient.

This course was very clear and easy to follow. The teacher's humor and enthusiasm made taking this course an incredibly enjoyable experience. Coming from no previous programming experience, I believe this course helped me gain a very clear understanding of the basics of python.

This course was really helpful for me as i was not knowing a single word of python.

This course help us to lear from basic

I have control flow of Language , conditional operators , functions and many things in this course and eagerly waiting for next course of my speacialization

Very help explanationa and metaphor for illustrate how a bunch of codes are excuate.

When I first started to read a python book to learn things, it was difficult for me to understand how the code runs. Flowchart and real person explantation help me to understand the sequenceso.

Fantastic course! This fit nicely with my work life balance as a full time engineer. Dr. Severance taught at a pace which kept me engaged while still providing pertinent information. I anticipate the curriculum taught in this specialization will mirror solutions to real issues.

The material is well packaged and presented for learners with no prior coding knowledge or experience. The instructor has a pleasant, positive demeanor - he speaks clearly and concisely using vocabulary and concepts that can reach a wide audience effectively. Would recommend!

It's total a beginning course. Don't be afraid of can't understand. It's pretty easy and interesting. Professor Charles is very nice and teaches in detail. Quiz and homework are really helpful. I believe everyone can enjoy this course and want to go through the next process lol

This is a must take course for those who just started Python or who are at the basic-mid level. The instructor knows how to make the course interesting and easy. But make sure to complete the whole specialization along with reading the book (python for informatics) in parallel.

I highly enjoyed this course. The workload was just enough to keep me busy but short enough that I could work around my busy schedule.

Being a novice, I learned quite a bit and has made programming and Python much less intimidating. I think i'm ready to tackle the next course.

Really good for beginners and great professor. The professor possesses a deep mastery of Python and programming principles, which is evident in every lecture. But what truly sets it apart is his ability to break down complex concepts into digestible, easy-to-understand chunks.

A great start to learning python but I strongly suggest spending time on your own familiarizing yourself with the basics and not just relying on this course. The course is a good start but there is much more to learn at an introductory level than what is taught in this course.

This was my first time in Coursera , I know a little basics of python but my all concepts get cleared from this course and I am very excited to learn more about python and learn more from the excellent instructor Dr chuck it was very fun learning with him. Thank you Coursera

This has been the most elaborate and easy to learn online course I've ever undertaken and all credit goes to Charles Severance Ph.D. and his team for putting together such great content. Last but not least, thanks to the Coursera team and platform for the wonderful initiative.

I want to thank Coursera and the University of Michigan for this course, it was my first beginning in Python, at some moments I wanted to leave this course but I resisted till the end, I'm so happy to succeed in this course. That will helps me with my PhD. Thanks by my heart.

Loved this course. I am continuing on in the specialization. This is a great introduction to the language. I feel very comfortable with my new base of knowledge thanks to this course. So much better then just following a book. The lecture videos really made some ideas sink in.

i had always a fear to learn any language. The way of teaching is too good. I have got rid of that fear. Very excited yo learn more and more in order to groom my skills as well as advance my carrier. Thanks Coursera and also the Professor Charles Severance, you are amazing!!

Really great professor! He explained everything thoughtfully and slowly. I knew literally nothing about computers and programming before this course and he managed to develop in me a deep appreciation and passion for the subject. Thank you so much, Professor Charles Severance!

Instructor wins you over. He is engaging and very lively

Basic concepts taught very well.

The bonus material engages you to explore more than just leaning the course.

Overall it's very good for getting basic knowledge and also to develop curiosity about the world of programming

Amazing course! The teacher is funny, easy to understand and I enjoyed the bonus materials at the end. You really feel like you are a part of a class then on your own. As a newbie with no background in math or computers, it was a perfect fit! Excited to start the next course!

excellent teaching . examples, exercises, quizzes and assignments were apt and facilitated conceptual clarity and reinforced understanding. course content, in general and teaching/instruction, in particular, by Mr.Charles Severance, will make anybody 'get started' with python.

Excellent course, excellent teacher. This has not been the first course I've done online, but if the first one I've completed, this is due to the well-developed program of the course and to the good pedagogy of Charles Severance. Thank you Coursera, thank you Charles Severance

My first ever programming course! Started out easy and became very challenging towards the end. I have learned a great deal and can't wait to start experimenting with the knowledge I've gained. Dr Chuck is an amazing teacher!! Looking forward to the rest of the specialization!

This is an excellent course for a beginner. I walked in with very minimal previous experience with coding and was able to keep up with the class. The teacher is really good at explaining the very basics of python which is good for a new learner. I highly recommend this course.

Curso excelente, fácil de entender, los vídeos son muy completos y permiten aprender de manera rápida lo que está explicando. Muchas gracias al Dr. Charles y a todo su equipo por ofrecer información de calidad y todo el esfuerzo por ayudar a otros en su desarrollo profesional.
