Excellent course! I was lucky. I "accidentally" decided to pass it. I experienced great pleasure from successful analogies in the process of explanation. I listened to wonderful stories told by people! I saw many places around the world with grateful students. Thank you to the creators who gave me the opportunity to get into the spirit of Python! P.S. (I...I...I...) It's a little pathetic, but it's true... :)

It was an amazing experience. Thanks to Professor Charles for making it clearly understandable and easy to apprehend., he uses very pertinent exampes that help you cease the matter. The course covers enough basic knowledge on Python Programming to make you understand different blocks of codes and write some simple but efficient code. I have learnt a lot in this course and I'm so excited to go to the next one.

A brief introduction to programming. If you are a beginner, you're probably going to love it. I already have a background on programming and I would say that for a advanced person, It will lack bonus materials and exercises as it is very simple and slow going. But despite of this fact, It is interesting to see how different teachers approach on the introductory subject using the most varied ways and examples.

this program is too god,and my instructor is pretty good and a lot of stuff is with him.his way of teaching attracted me to watch the course without fail.i'm a mechanical student and this course learns you from the scratch without any prior knowledge.i suggest all to take a chance to enroll if you are intrested in programming.Finally,i thank my instructor Dr.Charles Severance sir for learning me a new skill.

I just want to thank all the mentors and my fellow classmates for helping me achieve my first Python certificate here on Coursera!

This course was challenging but not impossible to learn, i am so grateful to the University of Michigan and Mr. Charles Severance for helping this learning event happen. I recommend anyone who is interested in learning about Python take this course. It is affordable and effective!

Wow I have to say this is really a good course with excellent teacher! Before this course I have no idea of Python, I struggled and wasted a lot of time considering which language I should learn, Java or Python. Now after this course, I fall in love with Python, it's an elegant programming language easy to start with! For those who want to get start with their coding career, I strongly recommend this lecture!

Excellent beginner course for learning Python. The instructor slowly guides your thinking so that your thought process matches that of a Python programmer. Quizzes and especially assignments are relevant to testing your newly acquired skills. If you have a bit of experience in other languages, I recommend going quickly through the course, as I found a great deal of overlap in language that let me speed ahead.

Oh, I love this course so much. I never though that I could learn the basics in the first attempt. Dr. Chuck is highly recommended for everyone who is willing to have a shot in python coding. He's the best lecturer for sure. he's so friendly. The course content is so clear so anyone can get it clearly. I would like to thank Coursera programs for letting us learn so much online. Thank you for the opportunity.

I loved this course and Dr. Chuck makes it easy to follow. I have prior programming experience, but was self-taught, so this helped structure some of my learnings. My only suggestion is to use a different color instead of white on neon for the blackboard drawings to make them easier to see. Other than that, I give this course 5 stars. I'm looking forward to my next course in the Python specialization series.

Good basic intro. Professor doesn't take himself too seriously which makes the lectures entertaining as well as informative. I would recommend this to someone who has no coding experience.

I have some programming experience with Python. I didn't need to watch the lectures to answer the questions. There may need to be some way to 'exempt' out of certain courses to get to next course in the specialization.

This course is an easy to understand, fun, and very informational program that anybody can learn from. While taking this course I have gained the abilities necessary for managing large quantities of information while executing simple commands. This system has aided me beyond just helpful. I can now provide others with this information ranging from close friends, work, and even my own instructors. Thank you.

Aprendi las bases mas impotantes para empezar a hacer pequenos programas y ademas fue una linda experiencia porque fue muy entendible y ademas pude ver en los videos que le maestro compartia como este mismo curso a estado ayudando a muchas personas al rededor de el mundo y tambien fue muy emocionante ver al creador de Pyton siendo entrevistado y me da algo de ilusion poder llegar a ligas tan altas como esa.

This is how things get done! One of the best online course for Python-2.7 for getting started. This one for sure, break the ice to get onto the advance level. Dr. Chuck is a real master; his method and style of teaching is very effective. I truly appreciate his time and effort putting this course and materials together. The Coursera platform is brilliantly tailored with this course. Thanks to Team Coursera!

I went through this course really fast because I'm already a bit acquainted with the Python environment, since I self though myself how to code in it. Despite this fact, I have to tank this course to fill many gaps on my knowledges. The Exercises were a good training method to test my skills, and the book is a really great material to start to learn Python. I wish I've attended this course many years ago :)

Professor Charles guide learners in a very enterteining manner through the programming basic concepts. I really reccomend this course for everyone who wants to start from the lowest level or scratch so as to begin understanding how to interact with logical and human- computer interaction. Even if you know something of programming, I think this is a good way of starting or modifying our logic to programming.

This is a splendid introduction to a delightful and powerful programming language for the first-time programmer. But it's even more than that: Charles Severance is a gifted teacher who gets the neophyte up and running in a gentle and engaging style. Really! Anyone can learn to program a computer, and get a whiff of mastering technology. But beware! That whiff can lead to addiction... and not in a bad way...

Dr. Chuck was an awesome teacher. I really wished i had someone like him in HS and College for my CS classes. I wasn't a CS major, but it was taught like we were...he speaks in such easy and understandable terms. His examples are spot on. I am still learning and making mistakes, but it's not frustrating in a bad way...it's actually making me try to figure it out and learn. The sign of a great educator.

I am very impressed with the videos, book, auto-graded tests, exercises. I have never paid $10 for a programming book before and its helpful to quickly lookup an explanation. This is my first online course and it has motivated me to consider other classes. I really like be able to binge for a while and stop to look at other reference material. I have a second Python book Automate the Boring Stuff.

thank you

Studying python with Professor Severance was such fun! This course is very friendly to people with even next to zero understanding of programming. It's so nice.

Professor Severance's lectures are easy to comprehend. The assignments are good brain exercise for me. And solving each task gave me great sense of achievement.

Thank you, professor. I couldn't have done it without your help. This course is amazing!

I loved this class. It's been over 15 years since I've been exposed to programming. I alway regretted not taking the opportunity to learn it. Now I'm getting into it, and I really like it. Even with no background in programming, I did think the class moved a little too slowly though. I finished the whole thing in less than a week and even did some additional exercises. I can't wait to start the next class!

It is a good course. I know C and CPP, so I navigated through it pretty easily, English not being my native language still I understood it nicely. First few weeks were like revision for me and I focused on the differences in C and Python. And there are many new functions I learned. It was fun to learn, there are many paced assignment and quizzes which are helpful. I will definitely suggest it for everyone

I had so much fun taking this course. Charles Russell Severance is a great teacher, even though I had my prejudice for coding, this course made it fun, and most important of all, it showed me that I can code. I went through the first couple of weeks in days! I was eager to learn. I simply wish that I was in his class. Last, of all, I like to thank everybody who worked for this course to be available here.

I would like to thanks Dr. Chuck for making it so easier in terms of learning, understanding and applying simple python programs in order to take a step ahead in the programming world with so much of interest. I am also thankful to Coursera for providing specialization free of cost and also would like to recommend this course to everyone who want to learn programming but have no prior knowledge of coding.

Awesome explanation of basic programming with python.in this course i have learned input statement, output statement,boolean,operator, keyword, loops,if else statement ,try and except statement in python with wonderful explanation and programming example.this course have flexible deadline and appropriate content for understanding basic.Also this course include discussion with different technology expert.

The course comes across as too simple and a little slow at first, but it picks up during the latter half and becomes more challenging when Dr. Severans gets into function building and logic loops. Great intro course for individuals who have very little to no programming background. I feel like after the course, the student is well equipped to pick up a python book and start digging into greater details.
