One of the best on-line courses I've done so far. Dr. Chuck is very knowledgeable, with a much-needed sense of humor for this type of "dry" course. I'll give myself one day break before enrolling for part 2 of the course. Thank you!

This is a good course for getting your feet wet with a programming language. I haven't learned a language in over 20 years, but the instructor made me comfortable with Python and provided a good foundation for learning the language.

Love to come back again for more ... I now really understand what coding is and i know where to start from . Python is one of the best and the instructor makes it easy and understandable .

Thank you Coursera for such a great program

Great course for a beginner at programming and python. Definitely helped me challenge myself at learning how control flow works and have a realization of how much have I learnt throughout the course by solving the exercise problems.

I've taken courses to learn Python before this course but weren't clear at all. i'm not a programmer but after this course, I'm more confident about Python. Besides, the instructor makes you laugh a lot. I really love this course!!!

This is a great course to start with and get the feel of python. It leaves with a cliffhanger to learn more in the coming courses of the specialization. Looking forward to learning more. And Charles's expression at times is awesome.

Absolutely loved it. The Professor makes the learning process very fun and also puts in a lot of effort in doing that. It not only teaches you about Python, but also many other things related to computers and programming in general.

Amazing! This was fun! I tired to learn Python from some other sources as well such as Youtube, udemy etc. but they are all boring. This was fun. I finished it in a week with 0 Python knowledge. Can't wait to take his other courses!

Thought that Python would be difficult to learn. But from the beginning the course was so fun to learn and easy to understand. I would really recommend this course for the beginners of python. "Charles Severance is a great faculty".

It's a really very good course for beginners. In this course all concepts are taught very nicely and easily.

I recommend this course for all students who want to lean coding but my suggestion for them is to first complete c and c++.

good course for people with no programming background. very clear and easy-paced. for those of you who are familiar with python or other computer languages, i would suggest to use 1,5 of the normal speed when watching the lectures.

Dr Chuck's introduction to programming where he is explaining variables, constants and later functions, arguments etc. is really good and I would say universal for any programming language. So definitely excellent course for anyone.

So far, I am really enjoying this class. I am so thankful for this free source. I have taken a few python classes, the the beginning was a review, however the instructor makes the course beginning very enjoyable to watch. Thank you!

I wanted to learn how to program, but I had no prior knowledge of programming. This class helped me learn some basics and gave me practical coding experience. I enjoyed it, and would recommend it to anyone who is just starting out.

This class was great, it was so informative and the professor is GREAT! The time required to complete the course is totally manageable, and you might find yourself completing it even faster than it's lined out, because it's so fun!

The best introduction to a programming language one can possibly imagine . The instructor was very explicit in the logical approach and took care of the basics and technicalities while switching between text editor and the prompt .

it's very friendly for beginner(I'm at the level zero). I like this course very much. The way the teacher speak makes the programming course not boring at all. Of course I will continue my programming study with this online course.

Excelente curso introductorio para quienes no tienen ninguna experiencia en Python. El instructor es muy bueno, muy claras las explicaciones, muy buenos ejemplos. Las clases son muy entretenidas. Seguiré con los siguientes módulos.
