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.

Really great professor! He explained everything thoughtfully and slowly. I knew literally nothing about computers and programming before this course and he managed to develop in me a deep appreciation and passion for the subject. Thank you so much, Professor Charles Severance!

Instructor wins you over. He is engaging and very lively

Basic concepts taught very well.

The bonus material engages you to explore more than just leaning the course.

Overall it's very good for getting basic knowledge and also to develop curiosity about the world of programming

Amazing course! The teacher is funny, easy to understand and I enjoyed the bonus materials at the end. You really feel like you are a part of a class then on your own. As a newbie with no background in math or computers, it was a perfect fit! Excited to start the next course!

excellent teaching . examples, exercises, quizzes and assignments were apt and facilitated conceptual clarity and reinforced understanding. course content, in general and teaching/instruction, in particular, by Mr.Charles Severance, will make anybody 'get started' with python.

Excellent course, excellent teacher. This has not been the first course I've done online, but if the first one I've completed, this is due to the well-developed program of the course and to the good pedagogy of Charles Severance. Thank you Coursera, thank you Charles Severance

My first ever programming course! Started out easy and became very challenging towards the end. I have learned a great deal and can't wait to start experimenting with the knowledge I've gained. Dr Chuck is an amazing teacher!! Looking forward to the rest of the specialization!

This is an excellent course for a beginner. I walked in with very minimal previous experience with coding and was able to keep up with the class. The teacher is really good at explaining the very basics of python which is good for a new learner. I highly recommend this course.

I am an amateur programming enthusiast who, although familiar with Python, has never undergone formal training. Thank you for this course that has helped me to reorganize my thinking and gain a fundamental understanding of Python's logical structure from a novice perspective.

This course is amazing. Dealt with some really decent assignments but quite challenging. As autograder also checks for optimum code according to usage of python concepts learned from this course. Which makes sure the student learnt and applied those concept to get certificate

This course is designed in such a way, even with little knowledge of any programming language you can finish this one. After completing the course you will have adequate confidence to start with Python and dig deeper into it. Thanks a lot Dr. Chuck and University of Michigan.

Thanks Dr Chuck

It's just the right course for someone who wants to know about the basics of programming and python. I would surely recommend everyone to once go through the course as it would be fun to watch videos and complete the assignments which would add to your knowledge about python.

Excellent - The first time I have really understood elements that so many other courses assume you are already aware of - even down to indenting. The programming I usually do has no indenting structures at all - I could never understand Python as a result - now I (almost) do!

The course was great overall, it covers all the fundamentals. It is ideal for everyone who wants to learn to code, irrespective of their professional or educational background. The week 7 external graded test was what I found a little vague otherwise, it's a beautiful course.

This is a perfect course for beginning computer programming. No prior skills are required other than basic mathematical knowledge. It's fairly cheap and the work load is light so there is no stress! I highly recommend this course to anybody interested in computer programming.

Dr.Charles did a great job and explaining things in a simple and comprehensive manner, I almost thought this course is a little 'too easy', all thanks to our teacher and this course will pave the way for many students like me into careers of programming and computer sciences.

The course is perfect with it's logic flow (from easy to more difficult, but trust me, you can definitely handle with it), contents and assignments, you can feel your skill on programming is really strengthened little by little, and that gives you a real sense of achievement!

Excelente curso para principiantes en el arte de programar. El material adicional sobre la programación y el mundo de la computación en general es muy valioso, tanto por la información que aporta sobre la programación como por la cultura general de la informática que exponen.
