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 am an amateur programming enthusiast who, although familiar with Python, has never undergone formal training. Thank you for this course that has helped me to reorganize my thinking and gain a fundamental understanding of Python's logical structure from a novice perspective.

This course is amazing. Dealt with some really decent assignments but quite challenging. As autograder also checks for optimum code according to usage of python concepts learned from this course. Which makes sure the student learnt and applied those concept to get certificate

This course is designed in such a way, even with little knowledge of any programming language you can finish this one. After completing the course you will have adequate confidence to start with Python and dig deeper into it. Thanks a lot Dr. Chuck and University of Michigan.

For beginners this course is very helpful. From very basic they have tried to teach you about python programming. If you are making your first step in python ,then i think this course is very helpful. Specially,the pdf provided with this course "Python for Everybody".

Thanku!!

Thanks Dr Chuck

It's just the right course for someone who wants to know about the basics of programming and python. I would surely recommend everyone to once go through the course as it would be fun to watch videos and complete the assignments which would add to your knowledge about python.

Excellent - The first time I have really understood elements that so many other courses assume you are already aware of - even down to indenting. The programming I usually do has no indenting structures at all - I could never understand Python as a result - now I (almost) do!

The course was great overall, it covers all the fundamentals. It is ideal for everyone who wants to learn to code, irrespective of their professional or educational background. The week 7 external graded test was what I found a little vague otherwise, it's a beautiful course.

Dr.Charles did a great job and explaining things in a simple and comprehensive manner, I almost thought this course is a little 'too easy', all thanks to our teacher and this course will pave the way for many students like me into careers of programming and computer sciences.

The course is perfect with it's logic flow (from easy to more difficult, but trust me, you can definitely handle with it), contents and assignments, you can feel your skill on programming is really strengthened little by little, and that gives you a real sense of achievement!

Dr. Severance is amazing. He breaks down concepts in such a simple and straight forward manner. He is also entertaining. He has done an amazing job for making this course accessible to anyone. It is all about logic. I am going to continue to take his other courses! Thank you!

Excelente curso para principiantes en el arte de programar. El material adicional sobre la programación y el mundo de la computación en general es muy valioso, tanto por la información que aporta sobre la programación como por la cultura general de la informática que exponen.

Dr. Chuck has that gift of bringing complex ideas down to a level that is understandable to everyday people, sprinkled with humor. Truly, this course is about programming for everybody. A course that has been designed to jumpstart and boost your confidence toward programming.

It's perfect for what it set out to do: give a light introduction to programming and python. I should point out. The assignments were clear enough that, having a programming background, I could learn the basic idioms of python in maybe two hours of total work on the course.

Awesome course, it covers the basics in very dynamic and easy to digest sessions. If you have previous programming experience you will still enjoy this course; if your don't, this is the right course for you to start dipping your toes into the world of programming..... enjoy.

This is a very good learning series for python beginners. The course has been designed beautifully in a way to keep you interested throughout its span. the quiz and the assignments are both simple and at the same time enough to provide a brief revision for the entire lecture.

This was an excellent course that was highly effective in introducing the basics of the Python language and computer programming. It breaks down concepts into very manageable pieces, and progresses gradually in difficulty. Very excited about continuing on to the next course!

The perfect introduction. I have learned programming before but now wish when I learned that it was explained as clearly as this!! Charles Severance's enthusiasm for teaching this topic is incredible and makes taking on a new challenge extremely palatable. Great Job, Charles!

The class is very easy to follow through. Video lectures followed by well designed exercises help you to understand and retain information. Could complete the entire course in less time if you put in the needed effort. Really a good start for learning computation and Python.

One of the best introductory courses I've taken. Short, to the point, has enough information to learn the all-important fundamentals of the language and boost your confidence. Professor is engaging and the pace is great. It encourages you to learn more. Highly recommended!

This course was so interactive, the lecturer was connecting effectively with the audience despite the fact that they were pre recorded classes. I learnt a lot from this course, lecture materials were so detailed and i look forward to continue learning python on this platform
