Very good introduction to basic programming. Very easy for beginners in python who have already some programming background - but still extremely useful to quickly and efficiently learn python basics.

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.

This is the first online course I 've ever taken and this is beyond my expectation. The course is sequential with the detailed points made by the professor, which is very catchy for a rookie to start. I really like it!!!!

The course is designed in very well manner, especially Dr. Chuck explanation about each fact in detail. Not too lengthy not too short focused on practical assignments which is important rather than theoretical knowledge.

extremely basic but Dr. Charles Russell Severanc is so interesting that you never get bored. You can pass the course in a few days with minimum or even no programming knowledge. It's a good starting point for beginners.

Dr Charles Severance lessons are never boring. I have enjoyed attending his class and his humor never fails to make me laugh. I'm sure I can excel better if the lessons are conducted face to face with Dr Charles. Thanks!

An excellent course taught by an amazing professor! I am really pleased with how professor Charles transmitted this knowledge and gave real meaning to the title "Programming for Everybody". It was a wonderful experience.

I can write a program without any second thought. But in this course, I learn lots of insight into computer and engineering in the machine. And lastly, python is a super language for any noob who can fit themselves here.

Excellent beginners course for python. Anyone can learn the basics with the topics covered. And end of week assessments help to assess yourself, if you are sincere enough to give them by yourself without taking any help.

This is the best python course for someone who has not dealt with any programming language. Since I have some experiences from Java, I found this course a little bit low level ,yet still useful. Thank you Mr. Severance .

I was just revising my python skills while I came across this course, and have to say this is one of the best courses out there to learn. The professor goes slow for beginners and intermediates can easily go at 2x speed.

Fantastic first course. It explains the fundamental concepts at a good pace, perfect for a person with a non-programing background (myself). Exercises were well structured and suitable for people with minimal experience.

Dr. Chunk give a very great introduction for using python to program, the content is easy to catch up, and Dr.Chunk uses multiple flow chart and block diagrams and lots of example to make me understand the points faster.

This was a very easy and gentle approach to programming. I wish there had been more exercises for the Autograder to get additional practice and that the course instructors did not provide starting code in the Autograder.

Good introduction level course for Python and more. Besides learning Python, it's also a good review of programming logic and style. This course is relatively easy if you have experience with other programming languages.

I gave five stars because the course was very easy to follow, the lectures gave a feeling of sitting in a class room and listening to the professor. Secondly, the exercises were good at making me understand the concepts.

I took the first two classes last year when I was trying out coursera. Now that I really want to pursue a python certificate, I'm going for all the classes this time.

I highly recommend this class if you're new to python.
