I walked into this course very anxious about learning to program. I did not expect to love this course or to really understand python. I feel confident with what I learned. Dr. Charles Severance is a phenomenal professor; very knowledgable without being intimidating, engaging, lighthearted, and teaches you to think like a computer.

Je viens par cette note pour vous remercier énormément pour votre bienveillance envers les étudiants désirant apprendre des cours en ligne . Coursera est une meilleure plateforme, j'aime la manière dont les cours sont dispensés, les explications dans les vidéos sont formidables et bien détaillées. Une fois de plus ,merci à Coursera

It was an awesome course taught by a great teacher. I was tremendously scared of coding till now but now I have hopes incited in me to be great at programming , thanks to the professor. Also I have figured out a bug in the assignment mode of PY4E. I hope I have added some value to the course and hope that its worth an appraisal :)

One of the best courses I've taken on Coursera. The content is very crisp and not too overly simplistic and very, very engaging.

The faculty, Charles Severance is superb. His explanations and videos are a good balance of fun and learning.

This course rekindled my love for coding and the Bonus videos are kinda..they are simply great.

I have a prior (rather limited) background in Java from when I took AP Computer Science in high school, so a lot of the basic concepts touched in this course was more of a refresher for me than anything, but I found it to be very informative and easy to digest. I feel much more confident and motivated after completing this course!

I feel blessed about participating for this course. I gathered lot of knowledge to the beginning of my programing life. I also thank full to the instructor, Prof. Charles because of his very attractive teaching method. Finally Thank you to the University of Michigan for offer me this course & the certificate. GOD bless you all!!!

I conclude my course with the satisfaction of saying that I have remembered the Python language again. The indication were clear and there were enough examples to understand the purpose of each exercise. I recommend this course for all those who want to learn to program, even as a first contact in the world of software.

Five stars!

I completed the course. The course structure is well built. The instructor is really good. I learnt a lot and it helps me to eliminate some of my confusions. The video quality and assignments are too good. I really enjoyed to hear from Mr. Guido van Rossum. It is a priceless moment for me. Thank you University of Michigan for all.

It really help me a lot to brush up all the small and magnificient concepts of Python.Well represented ,illustrated and demostrated course. Will recommend every begineer to must go for this course.Thanks a lot to Coursera community.Coursera is really one of the best e-learning platform for accquiring profiecieny in various fields.

I am a researcher and C++ programmer and I wanted to learn python from scratch, I found this course as the best available resource for the accomplishment of my goal. What a great teacher What a valuable course, I just wanna say thanks for putting out such great materials. It 's just the very beginning for sure but I'm enjoying it.

I tried a Java class before and had a hard time staying motivated. Hard to say exactly what factors contributed to that , but didn't get that with this class. I liked the start from zero approach while still moving along at a decent pace. Dr. Chuck explains everything quite well so I never ended up feeling like I missed something.

Till you start the course you may be in a dilemma whether programming is your cup of tea or not, but after starting this course you'll gain confidence. This course is crafted in such a way that you will not be bored for a second! Really enjoyed this course. Thanks Dr. Chuck and team along with Coursera for this amazing experience.

It is a very simple and easy course for beginners.

The material is very simple and helpful. Dr. Charles makes it very interesting and I loved the way he teaches and the passion he has towards teaching people how to program.

I would recommend this course for anyone who wants to start learning python or even programming in general

Incredible course. I started with absolutely zero knowledge of Python (of course I heard of it before but I had never actually studied it or worked with it). It took me 4 weeks to complete and at this point I feel like I am developing a strong foundation with which to continue my studies.

I highly recommend this course to everyone!

Please view the HTML doc in 'resources' after every week, it helps out. His teaching speed is very concise, comfortable, and not too fast. He didn't mention all the types of functions and such, but I suspect, he has good reason too. It is a great intro. I enjoyed it. Also, downloading sololearn is a good compliment to this course.

This professor is just amazing. I just wish those tests and exercises were more difficult, but I totally understand why they are simple in the beginning. Hopefully things will get more interesting later on, since I have already learned C and C++, the beggining seems a little too slow for me. Other than that, 10/10 course for sure.

Dr. Severance is a great professor. The method he uses to introduce Python is great for someone who has no prior coding experience. He keeps in interesting and provides a strong foundation to learn more of Python and other computer languages. I would highly recommend this class as a starting point if you want to learn programming.

Easy to follow beginner class. Well rounded and progressive content. The instructor clearly explains and demonstrates the concepts. No surprises or ambiguous questions, and very clear directions regarding what to do in the projects. I think this was one of the best college classes I have ever taken (I have three masters degrees).

I had no background in programming and I am a slow learner. But the way Dr. Chuck explains makes it so easy. Just a tip for other slow learners out there, while Dr. Chuck is explaining, stop the video, read through the example till you understand it, then see if you can write the program on your own without looking at the answer.

Course was well delivered and well explained. It was easy to refer to lectures for assignments that were due. I liked that it catered to people that have never programmed before, and those that have been exposed to some programming alike. I was surprised by how much I learned and how fast the 7 weeks went by - highly recommend.

I have previously a bit accustmed with the programming with C++, but learning the basics of Python from Prof. Charles Russell Severance it was a great experience. This guy just makes the programming with python so easy that the learing becomes playful. Thank you Coursera, University of Michigan and Prof. Severance for the course.

First time i had any course online and this was a wonderful experience. I learn all the stuff and the explanation provided was very good and I did it so quickly because of Dr. Charles severance. I loved the way he taught the course. I would like to do more courses from here. And again lots of thanks and respect to the tutor(sir).

This is an excellent course for someone getting started with programming. The videos are clear and the subject is well described, and the textbook for the course is free. The ratio of videos to exercises is good. If you know another programming language, the course is a bit slow, but… the title did say “Programming for Everyone”.

Really great class. Dr. Chuck is a great teacher and covered all the areas where studets might have doubts. He was really thinking from the students' side and thought what all doubts could arise and cleared it very well. It was a really great experience. The only thing that felt bad is that the course is too short.That's it!!! :)

Excellent course, Great Tutor.

This course is extremely good and well packed for beginners.Compact, yet complete course for python. The way this course is made, students with zero programming language can also catch up with the language. I am really thankful to Coursera and Charles Severance sir for creating this wonderful course.
