First of All I would say thanks to my teacher Dr. Charles Russell because his teaching style was very good and along with learning I have enjoyed this course. That was my first online course overall experience was very good.

100% Recomendable, no solo aprendí a programar en python, sino que aprendí la lógica de programación. Si bien los cursos son inglés los subttítulos son muy adecuados, las presentaciones ayudan mucho y Chuck es un MAESTRO!!!.

Explained all the stuff that many other course skip. The course dives into the concept and the how-to get setup to code, and the basics of coding. It was entertaining, I learned a lot, and I'm ready to now learn a lot more!

It is the first course that I completed in Coursera. I really love the way how Mr. Charles delivers lessons through 7 weeks. It's freaking funny, easy to understand, he is really patient to explain each section in the course.

I cant think about a better way to learn Python. The instructor makes you feel quite confident and explains details in various ways. Also the external tool is very useful given it allows you to actually apply what you learnt.

This really is geared for people with no experience in computer science or coding -- some of the explanations and concepts seemed very basic to me -- but it would be perfect for someone completely new to computer programming.

Excellent course. The topics were explained in very detail. This course is suitable even for a newcomer in programming who has not dealt with any programming in his/her life. Thank you Dr. Charles Severance. You are the best.

It is an excellent course for beginners to understand what is Python. Dr Chuck is a wonderful lecturer to make the class more fun and he tries to use simple examples to explain abstract concepts from Python. I enjoy it a lot.

This is really the best course that I have found yet for a complete beginner - I am pretty sure that this course can teach the fundamentals of Python programming to someone who just recently learned how to turn on a computer.

Really well done. I appreciated the humor sprinkled in. I felt as I did when I was actually sitting in my college classes. I know it's an online course, but Professor Severance really made it feel like I was in his classroom.

It is a good course for begineers. I recommend that , if you are going for this course , you should complete it as soon as possible. Because it does not cover all the aspects of python. Its basic python syntax and semantics.

This was a great intro class to learning python. I was impressed by the instructor, and how he was able to break down each concept to the basics so that someone who is new to computer science has an opportunity to learn well.

Excellent course to get acquainted with Python's syntax and essential structures. It is truly a class for all: from strict beginning beginners more experienced programmers looking to refresh base concepts in a Python context.

This course has been taught exceptionally well mainly for people without programming background.

Exercises were moderate. The lecture videos are helpful to get started with Python. Dr.Chuck videos are truly inspiring to learn.

The videos provide clear instructions about how to start python programs and essential information related to the program. I am also attracted by the teaching style of Dr. Charles, because he is both intelligent and humorous.

It's a decent course, good for starters with no background in programming. Course instructor is great, he teaches everything from basics. You'll enjoy this course if you are looking forward to learn Python from the beginning.

great and easy to understand. Finished it within a week if you really get into it. Recommended for beginner! It might take you slighter longer, but if you are really into it you can finish it faster then the recommended time.

The course was very productive in terms that it gave some strong basis of what coding is. I was an absolutely beginner before taking this course. Special thanks to professor Charles Severance because his energy is contagious.

Approach of teaching was awesome! It also brings some relaxation with the office hour videos. By the way, I like and enjoyed your interview with Pooja, the Piazza founder and that of Guido van Rossum. Big Thanks to Dr. Chuck!
