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.

It was an awesome course , the instructor was very good at explaining it in a (hogward) like way .It was fun, i feel like anyone who doesn't have prior knowledge on programming can learn it with ease.

Great course. Great insights not only into Python but to Computer Science in general. I recommend to literally everybody, not just people that need it for work. Nowadays coding can be regarded as a necessary foreign language. Thus if you want to be successful, you should have at least basic understanding of how machines work and operate.

A Great professor, great explanation, and the assignments were also created professionally, they're not easy not hard. If you go through the course material and think for a while you can write the code and build up your self-confidence in coding.
Charles also has a great sense of humor that makes the course more fun...
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I found the course very useful, but faced problem with the external tool graded assignments while output execution. Talking about the instructor, he teaches so good and provided in-depth knowledge of each and every aspect and logic. Thank you University of Michigan and Coursera for providing such useful and knowledgeable courses for us.

Dr. Charles Severance is an excellent teacher and I got to know about how to start my journey of Python, which was made easy by this useful course Python for Everybody, which literally is "Python for Everybody". In today's world I would recommend everyone to take up this course and surge ahead. Thank you very much Dr. Charles Severance.

It was a very basic course. Suitable for someone who hasn't been familiar with any programming language. But for someone with a prior knowledge to basics to programming it just acts like a revision. It would have been better if there were more content. Altogether i enjoyed this course and the professor is very good at explaining things.

Thank you Dr. Chuck for being as awesome as you are. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and admire your passion for teaching the next wave of talented individuals. These are the people who will be able to help change the world with their newly acquired skills in programming. I hope everyone else has the same experience that I did. Cheers!

This course is so great. The course structure and course materials are very organized. Although I have never used, I could understand the basic concept and resolved all of assignments. And Teaching Assistant staff is so helpful; the quick response was so helped. I would like to take other Python learning course in the future. Thank you.

The instructor gives very clear explanations, making it actually fun to code. Although most of the assignments were fairly straightforward, they gave good practice, and there's an entire online book for extra practice and help. A much more pleasant way of learning how to program than the version my college has. Thank you, Dr. Severence!

Have given 5 stars for the explanation of basic concepts of not only Python but also of programming. Though people who are well versed with programming will find it too easy (Me too) and finish it within a few hours, but the way of teaching was effective and will help a lot to those people who are new to programming itself. Keep it up !

I personally feel it was an awesome experience while doing course with Mr. Chuck as my mentor although. The course contains each and everything from seed to fruit all that a beginner must know. Irrespective of the technical background I recommend this course to everyone. Thanks to Coursera for providing such a good e-learning platform.

I love how Dr. Severance explained the structure of Python language. This is my second time learning Python basics because even though I practiced a lot, I didn't understand the logic of Python during my first time. This course helped me understand the importance of getting "grammar" right for learning any languages (including coding).

Even a person, who knows nothing about computers or programming, can easily understand and learn programming and that too in Python, today's very popular and useful computer language. And, that too, at our own pace. Further, the teaching by Dr Charles Reverence, Ph D, is so lucid that learning becomes very easy and fast and accurate.

I have tried many online courses but always felt bored and gave up. But in this course the professor teaches in such an interactive way that it kept me interested and i finished the course and was able to learn a lot. Anyone who is interested or wants to start learning python or programming can take this course and will not regret it .

This is an awesome course with great details to basics. The details are explained in very simple way and it is very easy to understand and follow. Even though I am on Coursera from 2013, this is the first course that I completed 100%. So kudos to prof. Severance and the team for awesome content and helping me in completing this course.

I had a great time learning the basics of python programming. Sir Charles Severance teaching style is excellent and he explains the concepts very clearly. I enjoyed every lecture presented by him. I will definitely recommend people to learn python from this course. I will continue to learn the advance python from Sir Charles Severance.

Great course for beginners! Learn about basic programming principles, how computers actually run programs and how to think like a programmer. The instructor is very engaging and makes the class fun. Sometimes they throw in extra videos featuring relevant interviews by people in the tech field, which is a nice touch. Highly recommended!

I took this class in preparation for my Master's program in Business Analytics. I appreciate how it starts from the basics and goes through installing Python, best practices when writing programs, etc. I find the getting started part of programming can be intimidating, but this made it much easier to start (and hopefully stick with!).

For a one-directional learning, Charles did a great job keeping my engage. The discussion/forum is very active which is perfect for my learning when I have problems. I have tried learning python from different channels and this is by far the best. Thank you so much. I really feel that I learned a lot and motivate to continue learning!

I was familiar with python before this course and wanted to touch up on it. I found myself leaning new information that I didn't know before, and finding new ways to think about programming. Professor Severance is entertaining and motivates me to learn more. Great course, I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn how to program.

All those who had given 1 or 2 stars to this course,are the ones who always criticize everyone.This course is seriously quite amazing and everyone thinking of starting with python should go for it.DO NOT FALL FOR THOSE NEGATIVE COMMENTS AND REVIEWS. The instructor is very good and explains everything so beautifully. Hope this helps :)

The course is very well structured to suit the needs of a new programmer (me) who is trying to learn python from the very scratch. Prof Charles keeps the video lectures engaging and the assignments help get a grip on how to actually put them those learnings in a code. Would recommend to anyone who wants to learn python from the basics

This course is excelent, i learned a lot and will continue to navigate through the whole program.
Thanks to everybody who made it, and made it free access as well. Your work is much appreciated!
I'll try to help with the translation to spanish so other people in South America can do it as well.
Thank you again from Argentina! Much love!

The Teaching technique adopted by the Trainer was extremely helpful in adapting and absorbing the new programming language. The day to day and simple examples adapted in the said program to explain the new language really proved the name of the course-"PROGRAMMING FOR EVERYBODY ". It was an amazing introduction to the WORLD OF PYTHON.
