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.

Very good. But, I think the assignment session should be more flexible. For example, in the last assignment, the answer is "Maximum is 10", my programme result is "Maximum 10", I lost "is". I checked my code hundreds of times lol. Anyway, This is a very nice course for python beginner.

This is the perfect course for someone who has never coded anything before. As someone who was already coming from a CS background even, I found it extremely helpful how the teacher takes their time to explain the most basic concepts so that a student may not be confused between syntax.

A well-curated course, eloquently designed to effectively teach anyone, it is particularly easy to grasp especially among students who have not had any experiencing programming before applying for the course. All of the materials provided for the course are relevant and extremely useful

Very helpful if you just start to learn programming. Dr.chuck is good teacher and lectures are interesting. You will lost in assignments a bit but after you read text book, do exercises from textbook and give some time, it will pass easily. Overall i am quite satisfied with this course.

This course has really created an interest in programming! Its learning process is fun throughout the completion of the course. I am extremely thankful to Charles severance sir for making it look so easy for the learner irrespective of the background that the learner is coming from. :)

The courses are easy to understand and build up my knowledge in python gradually! It also comes with projects to practice. The practice video provides guidance and was helpful too. If one thing to improve, it could be better if Dr.Chuck gives more affirmations at the end of the course.

Python is very beginner friendly. Its conciseness, expressiveness and likeliness to English contributes to its choice for rookies. Its readability complements this and also it is an interpreted language. Just have a look at this Python Syntaxtutorial and see it is to be a python person.

Great introduction that got me back into Python programming. I had previously learned to use Python in architecture school, but it had been too long for me to remember much. I'm glad I found this wonderful resource. You're a talented teacher, and I can't wait to take your other courses!

Instructor is very good. If you've got any experience in programming, going through the first class can be a bit tedious, but I found I was able to complete it very quickly with the C++ and Python I knew going into the class and was able to complete the class in a matter of a few hours.

Professor Severance is pretty good at explaining the concept and his lectures were not only clear but fun! He also makes some jokes and lists some examples to help us understand the concept. I feel like I've learned a lot about python and get a good start at learning computer languages!

It's designed keeping Newbies in mind. It takes us through all the possibilities of Python in such a manner that even a person who has never coded before can start coding immediately. It's a must have for all Programming enthusiasts. One of the best courses for MOOC.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Very nice course to learn python
It starts from the very beginning and offers a very step by step approach. I had started to learn alone (with books) and i was afraid the course would be for beginners with none experience only, but i will recommend it anyway for "false beginners"
thanks !

I love this course, professor is so amazing, since I have enrolled in this course, my day doesn't end without taking a lecture (which is not easy after work). After DASI (Data Analysis & Statistical Inference) course from Duke University, I have found this the best course. Thumbs up !!!

This is an excellent introduction for beginners and there are good explanations by the instructor. I just wish there were more problems or assignments provided for practice. Overall, I recommend this course to anyone with no programming background looking to take a step into that world.

Brilliant for anyone totally new to programming, however even with basic experience in another language you may find it slow, in which case you may wish to skim through the lecture transcripts and pick out the important bits and just make sure you have the Python syntax etc figured out

Great introduction to Python. I had zero prior experience to Python and I must say that Prof. Severance made all the techniques in this course very clear. The videos were short and to the point, the slides were really helpful and the exercises well constructed. Overall, great course!

Great course for all those who wanted to learn programming but got disappointed or overwhelmed by too much language jargons or out-of-pace instructions. Dr. Chuck made this course so understandable and learnable that most of such enthusiasts can learn very easily. Great work Dr. Chuck!

Un curso muy completo que te enseña los conceptos básicos de python y te anima a seguir con los siguientes cursos del programa de especialización. Recomiendo totalmente este curso en parte también por el profesor que lo imparte, Dr. Chuck, ya que él hace mucho más interesante la clase.

This is an amazing course. Although I am a beginner in programming, and I enjoyed every single video of the course. Homework sometimes could get difficult, but everybody could overcome these difficulties; however, the satisfaction of running a program made by yourself is indescribable.

One of the best online courses I have ever taken. Very easy and descriptive enough to start and finish as a beginner. The exercises are quite engaging and lets the students do all the brain-storming and also helps the students with the solved answers if needed for the initial lessons.

I have been trying to upskill for sometime now. Charles is such an awesome instructor, he made learning Python( still in early stages though, but it got me engaged) like a cake walk. I loved the way he explained things. Looking forward to go deeper and learn Python to gain expertise.

I strongly recommend this course to those peoples who want start with python programming. Because it is starting from very basics. And the way of teaching of Dr. Chuk is awesome. I have cleared all my basics of python programming from this course. Thanks for reading ! Have a nice day !
