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.

I had a great experience in learning Python for Everybody. The course can be taken by someone who is a bit interested in learning a programming language without having any prior knowledge of programming. This course gives you the complete gist on how a programming is done.

For a beginner in programming this course provides basic information. It makes the task of learning a new skill simple and easy. For experienced IT professionals, who know other programming languages, this course is too easy and they can finish the course in a week or two.

The Most Excellent professor Ever!!! He's so interesting and teach me Python in a easy-to-accept way. He could always use metaphor to describe something not so familiar with us novice and my favorite is the one of listening to music in Chapter 1. What an attractive course!

Please Make the code test more accurate , like we write our code and you can automatically test it using pre-stored samples' list of different inputs .

in case the code passes all the sample tests then that the code is 100% correct .

Thank you very much for this great COURSE

As a virtual beginner in computer programming, I found this course very useful. The course covers important common programming concepts and Python syntax. If I were someone who already knew another programming language well, I suspect this course would be too elementary.

The course was very basic and really good for those who are totally beginner I am not the good candidate for the course since I am working with JAVA from last 3 years since everything is very easy for me as such this course is really good but I am not a good one to review.

This course by Prof. Dr.Charles Severance from University of Michigan is very good for people who wanted to start with Python. His teaching skill is genuinely good. He teaches how python works internally which helps us understand more and remember better.

Thanks,

Very nice course. It was a little bit too simple for me personally, as I had some programming background already, but I believe, the way things were explained throughout the course was really helpful. In my opinion, the course is very valuable for the beginners. Thank you!

Excellent programming introduction to everyone. Very detailed lectures and readings. It builds from the basics and gradually introduce more complex situations, leaving no sense of big confussion compared to other courses I've taken. Thanks Dr. Chuck and thanks to Coursera.

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

Its a very well taught course that covers all the basics and teaches not only how to write basic code but why it is done that way, learning this course has opened a world full of possibilities for me ,

I cannot thank coursera and professor Charles enough for his teachings

Como siempre el profesor Charles Severance nos brinda un material de excelente calidad al alcance de todos. Un curso imprescindible para aquellos que deseen indagar en el apasionante mundo de la programación con este fantástico lenguaje como lo es Python.

Que lo disfruten!

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!
