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.

Very good course, if you have other experience with other language it would be easier....nevertheless it is still a pretty good one even if you don't. Looking forward to take the next ones and learn more of python!

Great course! This was my first time trying coding of any sort and I really enjoyed it. While I feel like what I learned is probably very basic I also feel like I've learned a great deal and am eager to learn more.

I enjoyed learning python from this course. Dr.Chuck is an amazing teacher. His way of teaching programming language is quite unique and I loved it. Finally this course will surely help me in my coding foundations.

Loved it ! The exercise/assignment provided at the last was excellent since it covered all the topic ideas used till now. The pace at which Dr. Chuck taught was perfect for any student whether beginner or advanced.

Great beginners course, as someone who has taken other CS classes at university, I can attest that Professor Severance is the person you want to be learning from. Great explanations, doesn't make the subject boring

A great introduction for someone who knows nothing about programming - Step by step & you have all the help in the world if you need it. I love the lecturer - the references to monty python - A thrill to listen to.

I found this course helpful to start python, so that i want to thank the university and the teachers for this great effort, and i want also to thank coursera community for letting me had this certificate for free.

I have said awesome enough times for this course. I loved all the tutorial videos, though tutorial would be a really kind of not enough word of expression. I am definitely coming back for the other courses up next.

Thank you !

I am 37 years old and hadn't done programing since college. I'm glad to pick up this course and update myself. It's very learning - friendly and well structured. Gonna learn the rest the next 2-3 months.

The course needs a lot of worked examples both simple and complex to make the student ready. Other than that the course is superb. Let the audit access assignments and everything just like accessing the autograder.

Looking at the powerful nature of Python and the advanced usage of it in the IT industry, I decided to do it and i must say i enjoyed it thoroughly and would recommend everyone to do this specialisation completely.

The course explains the basic concepts of programming in a way that is easy to understand, and with a bit of humour too. I really enjoyed it and can recommend this course for all who are beginners into programming.

Curso excelente, as aulas são divertidas e é fácil conseguir uma boa abstração da linguagem utilizada nas aulas. O professor é carismático e o material é amigável com os novos usuários de linguagens de programação.

Big compliment to Dr. Chuck and his team for the great course "Programming for Everybody, getting started with Python". Feels like a face to face course. Love the way Dr. Chuck explains the patterns of programming.

Excellent course to get started with Python. Even though I had prior experience of basic C coding I found this course useful in understanding the variations that exist between the two languages in a concise format.

Truly an excellent program, ideal for beginners in the realm of programming. The course has an aesthetically pleasing layout and an excellent instructor. All in all, it's a good option for those just starting out.

It is a somewhat simple start into python programming but it is a great start. I enjoyed this course a lot. It doesn't need to be considered a 7 week course, specially if you have some prior programming knowledge.

It was a really strightforward course. I love programming and learned all of the course in a few days. I am a medical intern and I wish I could get an offer for studing programming master at michigan university.

Thank you.

This course was very great and easy to understand. The instructor's teaching method was vey good that even a beginner could understand. But I think there should have some more questions to solve about the topics.
