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.

One of the most exciting course I've ever learned. Everything is designed perfectly with all the materials, tools, feedback... especially taught by a very very special man, Mr Chuck. Thank you a lot, Dr Chuck and all members of Coursera. I wish you all a lot of health and success!

It's one of the best course out there for python if you are learning it from a scratch. The instructor has taken special care to make this course knowledgeable and beginner friendly at the same time. Regular quizzes and assignments will help you in analyzing what you have learned.

I loved the course, I struggled a lot with exercise 5.2 but in the end I made it. I liked Dr. Chuck's explanation very much, even though I don't know much English, I understood him without reading Spanish subtitles.

I'm going to take advantage of my vacation to continue learning.

First of all, I would like to thanks Coursera and the University of Michigan who make the bridge between me and this course. My heartiest gratitude to Prof. Charles Severance who tried his best to reach us with a strategic way to help us understand the basics of Python. Thank you.

The instructor was so good. He is really a good interpreter. When he visits different countries to meet his students, it looks nice. I wish I could meet him if he ever comes to Bangladesh. In a word, it was fun to do the course. I learned a lot and planning to continue the course.

Excelente manera de empezar, me encanto lo directo, fácil y bien explicado de los conceptos que el curso pretende enseñar. Aun falta que este disponible en español para que muchas mas personas puedan acceder a el. Recomendadisimo si apenas empiezas en programación como es mi caso.

An excellent course for beginners as well as for people coming from other programming backgrounds. The tutorials are extremely beginner-friendly and a great way for people from other programming backgrounds to learn the syntax and changes needed to adapt to the python environment.

This course is interesting and it really enhances my interest in field of programming specially in Python language.

It shows us that programming is for everybody not only for the professional programmers and python is such an easy language so anyone can do programming using this.

This course explained the basics of programming really well! I have already taken a java course(AP computer science) so other than the python syntax, it was all review. However, he really explained all the content in a completely understandable matter so this course was excellent.

This course attended bt Dr. Chuck is very useful and easy going. The docent explain all kind of algorithm quite detailed but still very easy for us freshman to comprehend. I really recommend this course to who are interest to start his\her PYTHON3 learning with a fantastic course.

Great introduction to Python programming language. Self-paced course with videos/classes that cover broadly the contents needed to perform the required exercises/assignments. The course book also provides extra material and consists of a solid reference manual for Python learners.

Course is very well structured, I really liked the way Dr.chuck is explaining, The exercises at the end of each week helped me a lot to actually implement what i have learned and some of the exercise seems to be a little complex, and yes this course is 'Programming for Everybody'.

A very well thought out and planned coursework with emphasis on general programming logic. I would like to congratulate Professor Charles on his contributions as a teacher. I really liked the flow of the program. Looking forward to more such topics !! Thanks a lot :))

Had an amazing experience in learning this course. Great effort by the Professor. He explained the topics in detail. Python is an essential course which required proper training in order to learn it. I was lucky enough to learn the course from Coursera By University of Michigan.

The Material was very easy to digest and understand which I found to be really very helpful and I really enjoyed how the class challenged me as opposed to just being a code along. You will definitely be seeing more of me!. Big Thanks to Mr.Severance on a well put together course.

The course is good despite some troubles in solving the problem. I wish the course coordinator providing some downloadable PDF lecture notes for student reference so that we can catch up the course without having to re-watch the video, in case internet connection gets cut off.

I loved the content and helped me a great deal to finally be able to program without crashing my computer with infinite loops. I'll definitely take the specialization on programming and data analysis.Professor Charles Severance is the best, i hope i can be as good as him one day.

The course has been explained beautifully and it is easy to maintain attention in the lectures as Professor Severance knows how to keep students focused by cracking random jokes in between. I am thankful for this course and looking forward to starting the next course in the bunch

This is a great course! Although I had learnt python when I was an undergraduate geology student, now I could learn a lot of concepts and details about programming that I did not know.

Congratulations Mr. Charles Severance, your passion and dedication made this course a great one!

Suitable for the first time learner of Python, even with someone who doesn't have any programming background. After I passed the test 5.2, I don't realize I have finished all the courses and gained my certificate! I will continue on further advanced classes of Python on Coursera.

The course is very nice for beginners with no prior experience or knowledge. The course also has lot of valuable information and stuff to learn from that I haven't found in usual internet sites. The course and videos are awesome and are best in teaching the concepts with clarity.
