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.

It was really simple, but it gives us the idea of what we can do with programming in python. It's a start, done with very good foundations and instructions. I loved this course, it helped me to start in programming and to understand a lot of what I've been missing out.

Well-explained lessons that provide students with a better understanding of analytical problem solving and basic coding for a variety of mathematical problems. I'm not sure why I wasn't able to complete the Practice Peer-graded Assignment on my own desktop as directed.

Excellent professor, excellent course. The material is covered in a comprehensive, but not tedious, manner. This is a wonderful place to start for anyone who has never done any programming before. In fact, I intend to recommend this to a few family members and friends.

This is a very good course, teaching step by step. You can learn the very basic things which can be a common part of all programming languages. But, in a way, this can be too easy for programmers even who has never written Python, like everything could be done in 5min.

Charles is a good teacher who can explain the operation of a program in a fun and simple way. Although the things taught are reatively primary for me, he really helped a lot that I am able to build my own knowledge structure and understand the concepts of Python fully!

It was my first stepping stone into the world of Python. Prior to this course I had no idea about it. Under the amazing guidance of Dr. Charles Russell Severance of the University of Michigan, I’ve learnt to make sequential codes, conditional codes, repeated codes etc.

Extremely acessible course. It contains full guide to install python on your computer and even offers a built-in python compiler in a website for those who can't have a computer at the moment. Certainly helped me to fix the basics, so I can thrive in python programing.

Very good. If you're already into Python programming it is way to easy but it's always good to refresh all that basic knowledge which is important to move forward to more complicated stuff. If you're completely new to programming, it is an excellent way to get started.

El curso es muy fácil de usar y de entender sobre todo por que usa herramientas externas. Puedes acomodar el curso a tus tiempos y horarios y no es tan largo como parece ya que lo acabas rápido. El maestro conoce muy bien el tema, es gracioso y tiene mucha experiencia.

The course is great for learning the basics of programming (through Python). Even somebody who has absolutely no experience in the subject can learn and complete the course very comfortably. The instructor is a very nice, friendly person who is very easy to learn from.

Totally interesting, from the systematically curated content to the clarity of each minute element delivered by the instructor. And as name suggests, it is well-suited for anybody who wishes to learn programming as it assumes hardly any previous programming experience.

Very beginner friendly course. I have a bit of python experience through other MOOCs. This course kept my attention and made me want to finish the course. If you have prior experience, you should aim to finish the course within a week. The bonus videos were also great.

This is a well-taught introductory course. The course instructor, Dr. Chuck is a very engaging teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed taking this course. If you have a background in programming in another language, it should be possible to go through this course pretty quickly.
