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.

Great course! I am an absolute beginner in programming, yet the instructor made it rather easy to master the basics of Python. Thank you very much! I highly recommend this course to anyone who would like to test the waters and see if Python is the right language for them.

Es un curso increíble, el insructor es miy amigable, y siempre hay respuesta en los foros de discusión ya sea por otros instructores o entre la comunidad. Lo que se pide en los cuestionarios y ejercicios prácticos es acorde con lo que se ve en los vídeos, ni más ni menos.

Professor Severance is really good at guide beginner to build a mindset of a programmer! I've learnt python through other videos and online course for several times, but never have been this clear about the concept and logic of coding.

One of the best online courses ever!

Dr. Severance is such a wonderful teacher! I had never done programming before, he built the course so well. Easy in the beginning and challenging at the end. Just the right amount of difficulty to keep going. It was a joy completing this course. Look forward to the next.

I hope that the "Python for Everyone tool" gets upgraded so we can have mor hints about the type of error we are getting. I spent 3 trying to solve my code, but the problem was a misspelling in the output.

Anyways, I had a great time. See you in next chapter. Thank you.

Its a great course especially if you are from a non programming background. The course starts from extreme basics to intermediate level. If you are already familiar with any other programming language, you might feel the course is slow but eventually you will learn python

Its a very easy course for a beginner who has zero knowledge in programming; The professor and the tutors online is amazing. You would definitely need to keep on learning with future classes from this series of Python specialisation courses to build your skills in depth!

One of the best courses to start learning to program. I have tried many times to learn to program but the material or teaching method didn't allow me to complete. But this course was complete in all regards and also it keeps one's interest in programming languages intact.

Really enjoyed it. I've messed around with some python code before but knew i needed to take a course for some basic understanding. The lectures were great, and assignments were just as great. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to begin their Python coding journey!

The course is very good at giving you explanations of how the different statements work and haves some good assignments to test your understanding of new coding functions you learn throughout the course.

highly recommended if you want to get started with python and coding

I have previous education in programming. This was a good refresher to start programming with again, especially Python - a language I'm new to. I just wish the interactive Python assignment submission tool would accept both Python 2 and 3. Otherwise, it's pretty great!

This class was a perfect beginner introduction to python. The instruction videos make sense and fully explore each aspect of the lesson. The coding assignments are straight forward and provide multiple avenues for requesting help if needed. I highly recommend this class.

It's really great experience to take part in this class, which is exactly as it said, "for everybody". This is my first time getting to know Python, but it's more interesting than I think before. Professor Charles makes this course full of fun. I love his teaching style.

Exemplary content for beginners and for those who want to get precise and to the point knowledge about Python.... A big thanks to Prof. 'Chuck' and his interesting approach towards the subject , which enabled me to cling onto Coding , something I was hesitating to learn.
