Dr. Chuck is a great instructor. I love the humor in the lectures. Lectures are easy to follow and Dr. Chuck is engaging. I learned the basics of python and I really enjoyed that journey. I recommend that the students should also watch the bonus videos. Those videos are inspiring and broaden your understanding regarding the world of technology.

Professor Severence is an excellent teacher. He made it so easy and interactive that it didn't feel any difference compared to face to face interaction with teachers as in real life. His easy going explanation and test pattern made it easier. It's more like teaching students rather than judging students, which is very encouraging for beginners.

Great course for beginners in programming or Python. If you already know any other programming language you will finish this course in a day or two. I would advise you to learn a more syntax heavy language like Java or C++ first. Great professor, too easy quizzes, good assignments. Nothing challenging if you've done any other language, but fun.

This course is really something, its my first time that i'm enjoying a coding course and teacher was out of this world. I almost never knew that it was a course for studying a programming language it was more like learning a fun language with a funny teacher. You are the best sir and thank you for this course, heads off to all the team members.

Amazing instruction, the content is broken down into simple yet manageable chunks that doesn't make Python seem as intimidating or as complex as I initially thought it would be. It has truly been an eye opening experience and I'm looking forward to learning more in future.

I very highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn Python!

It's been a really enjoyable adventure with Professor Chuck. He makes programming with Python interesting and easy to begin. I had zero programming knowledge, but now I can understand the basic programming structure with is really amazing and incredible. I highly recommend this course to any beginners, you will love coding! Thank you Dr. Chuck!

It's really wonderful journey with coursera and of course Dr. chuck through out the course. Dr. Chuck take the course in such a easy way that enables us to get every lecture easily. He makes lot of fun in the class which does not let me to get bored and help me to enjoy the class. Hopefully i will carry my journey with Coursera for a long time.

The professor/instructor is what makes this course incredible - his passion and love for the subject are so infectious and inspirational - he is also incredibly intelligent and capable of conveying such complex ideas and concepts in ways that are quick to comprehend. Very enjoyable, informative, and course I would recommend without hesitation.

This was my first time learning Python and I really enjoyed the course. Dr. Chuck made the introduction of this language extremely approachable and I was able to find help on topics and answers on questions by visiting forums. I also loved the website: py4e.com. Overall, I loved this class and look forward to learning a lot from the next class.

Dr. Chuck is an amazing teacher. He is really knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge. He explains the concept in detail and engages you in this online course very well. The course was excellent, and I highly recommend this course.

I also want to thank Coursera for its support of universal access to the world's best education.

Thank you for making this course free!

The accompanying book is really great, and the examples are very well designed.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out a small typo on page 114 (Chapter 9. Dictionaries): in a code statement print a.translate(string.maketrans(' ',' '), string.punctuation there is a missing ) character at the end.

This is really a nice course for beginners and some one who has no scripting/programming experience. Course structure and pace of learning is designed very well. There are some interesting Video on office hours, Python development history and interesting interview bytes from Guido van Rossum which makes online learning an enjoyable experience.

Exceptionally clear, entertaining, and useful. Even though some exercises are not always straightforward, they are extremely well planned. So, for anybody who will go to face them, don't assume they are misplanned. The course achieves its mission. Finally, I would recommend using some interface different from Atom, which is not very intuitive.

I wish they taught like this back in college. Anyway this is where I learned python 3 years and was able to use it on my work. I like how they teach all of the basics and provide learning materials as well such as text books, real-life examples, etc. The instructor, Dr. Chuck also provides some humor to make the classes lively and interesting.

This was a very informative and interesting course presented wonderfully by Dr. Charles. One could never get bored as the courses are pack of short videos filled with lots of information and a bit of humour too.

i genuinely want to thank the presentor for creating an interest in me for this subject. Overall it was a wonderful experience for me!

The overall course structure was great in terms of the content, tutorials, assignments, quizzes, etc. Thanks Dr. Chuck for such a student-friendly approach to teaching, it was fun learning this course. I would highly recommend this course to anybody who is wishing to learn python regardless whether he/she has a prior experience of programming.

Very useful course for a non programmer like myself. The lectures and exercises are engaging therefore very motivating to continue to the end. The final assignment I found a bit of challenge compared to all previous assignments however with a bit of persistence by reviewing previous weeks lectures and assignments I finally managed to crack it.

An excellent starting point for anyone looking to learn Python, whether you're already a programmer or completely new to programming. Clear and concise examples used to explain the concepts, useful exercises to implement and practice your knowledge - it's one thing to watch someone do it and it's another completely to try to do it on your own!

I have some experience in programming, including Python. Nevertheless, this course was great, I strongly recommend it for everyone, who has no experience at all or is eager to start use this language. Everything is simple and clear, there is no way of misunderstanding material. Also, it is really funny. Charles Severance, thank You very much!

This is a well structured, well taught course for beginner programmers, or those seeking to learn another computer language. I feel confident in my ability to write basic Python programs, and am excited to continue with this course series. I would recommend this course to anyone who has a desire to pursue an interest in computer programming!

This specific course covers topics such as programming principles, variables and expressions, execution flow, functions, and iterations. Its study material explained concepts clearly, especially the textbook "Python for Everybody". Its work load was light, requiring only a few hours to complete all the lessons and assignments of a given week.

Excellent. Teaching is extra-ordinary. This is course so good for anybody. I loved the video content and materials. having so fun while learning python. Dr.Chuck is really great professor and he is excellent in teaching and l love coursera courses because they maintain high quality.

I shall be very thankful to teacher - Dr.Chuck and Coursera.

Dr. Chuck is amazing at making Python really interesting and personable for everyone. I love his humor and how he takes the time to really be thorough in his lectures. The fact that the course continually builds on the previous portion also helps us as students make sure we really grasp what we learned. I'm excited to continue in this series.

I tried to learn python basic from many source but I felt it was too difficult for me so I almost gave up on programming but after going through this course I really learned python basic very easily. Teacher charles teaching is good very easily understandable with good example. Thanks Sir Charles Russell Severance and coursera for the course.

From this course, I successfully controlled the basics of programming computers using Python, like sequence, condition, loop and iteration statements. What gave me huge confidence to study this course is that the course has no pre-requisites and avoids all but the simplest mathematics. Now I am ready to take more advanced programming courses.
