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.

Good course for beginners and newbies in python. The lecturer explains really clear and nice step by step with a good amount of understandable examples the concepts of python, the syntax and the basic functions and loops. I definetely will do the next course in the series.

I've already learned so much. The hardest part is getting used to online learning if your only previous experience has been in person, but the so far everyone I've interacted with in Coursera and regarding this course have done everything to help you overcome that obstacle.

Very decent entry course into programming. It goes through the most used lines of codes in Python and I liked that each week had some exercises that bundled that week's material. I executed all the code that I observed during the lectures to develop some more muscle memory!

Really interesting introduction to Python, by Charles Severance Russell, focusing on the most important components of the language. Looking forward to other courses with the same format. Thank you so much Charles for explaining the course in detailed and clear understanding

Cool introduction to Python! videos are short and clear. Professor is nice and funny wearing a choosing hat from HarryPotter and filming blogs around the world with student. +interviews with Techpeople. assignments have deadlines; and are neither too easy nor too difficult.

This course is very useful for those who want to start learning programming. This course will help you get a basic idea of how to start your career with simple programs. I recommend this course for everyone. I am sure that you will regret if you won't choose this course.

Totalmente recomendable para no iniciados en programación. El profesor es muy didáctico y preocupado de que entiendas los conceptos fundamentales de la lógica de programación, más allá de la sintaxis del lenguaje propiamente tal, la cual se domina con práctica más que nada.

if you are an absolute beginner as me, please take this course. I completed the course in 2 weeks because is very easy to follow and to digest. The instructor is clear and the examples are explained from scratch. I have enrolled for the next course with the same instructor!

I already knew a bit of Python, but I was also missing a lot (standard issue for people who are self-taught). While I already had most of the basics, I got a lot from the lesson about loops and the None keyword (and, more importantly, about how they're supposed to be used).

This was a very informative course. I was able to learn the basics of python easily because the instructor was so good. I appreciate how the instructor explained every chapter as if if he was in our minds, therefore all the concepts would automatically become crystal clear.

This is a great course for learning the basics of programming with Python in a comprehensive manner. Emphasis is being laid on some fundamental programming logic, and nuances with the syntax is also explored to a satisfactory level. This is highly recommended for beginners.

this course is too good. I have trying to do so many other online courses online but never succeeded in completing as I never feel connected. but I really appreciate the efforts of prof. Chuck, he is incredible in his way of teaching.

It's fun. I will keep learning.

Thank you

Great course for beginners! Though the work was simple, I still found the material to be quite useful in helping me understand the code a bit better. The professor was very clear for all the topics, making Python so much easier to learn than I would have thought possible!

This course was so much fun! I started with zero knowledge of programming and now I understand the basic concepts of writing code, and I have the ability to write basic programs. The combination of video lectures and an easy to understand textbook made learning efficient.

Very good about breaking everything down to a beginner level. There are a lot of examples and walk-throughs that allow students to practice the lessons learned in class.

The textbook is easy-to-read and the course itself is very fun. Have already recommended it to friends.

Me gustó, mucho la elaboración del contenido. No hablo inglés perfecto y tampoco hay subtítulos, lo que me hizo tardarme mucho tiempo más, el contenido fue fácil de llevar, cada tema explicaba cada detalle, me hizo sentir un vínculo con el profesor, el tema y el contenido.

Frist I really want to thank Coursera and University of Michigan for giving me the chance to learn this course with financial aid. This course is absolutely amazing and Dr. Charles is very nice. I really enjoy the process. Just hoping have more opportunities to learn more.

This course is very good for beginners as it goes through the basics. The quizzes and assignments give you good command over the basics. I also belong to the non- programming background, but this course gave me such confidence to go through the rest of the related courses.

If you are thinking of studying Python, this course is perfect match. The content is not so difficult to understand and the length is suitable for people whose time is constraint. Also, the question and programming quizs at the end of each chapter is useful for reviewing.

It helps me learn the basic things from the python programming language. I was very confused at first which language should we learn at first and which one is comparatively easy. Now after taking this course I can say that Python is way better easy than any other language.
