Several years ago I could barely operate a computer beyond online shopping and drafting a letter using Microsoft Word. Now I am able to write simple codes; this has given me valuable insight into the various types of technology I rely on day to day. If this course can teach me how to code using Python, then it really must be for everyone. I highly recommend this class!

I have never learned python before this class, and when i finished this class, I think this is very useful to me that I realize the basic conception of python . Now I can write some basic programs by myselfs.

I will give this course 5/5 stars because the professor's teaching is very clearly. I can totally understand what he said and how should I thinking as a programer.

What an excellent introduction to Python! Clearly, Prof. Severance is a gifted instructor. His explanations are so precise and easy to understand; it was a joy to go through the materials. It is a very well put-together course. I would highly recommend this course to anyone new to programming. I am looking forward to moving onto the next course in the specialisation.

I am really thankful to Sir Charles Severance for making this course easy to understand for the absolute beginners. This course helps understand the basics of python in an easy way and develops interest for those who have no prior background of programming. Thank you Sir Charles Severance and the team for their effort in designing this course in the best possible way.

Great course for programming beginners. Professor Chuck does a great job starting with the basics. Programming is essential and the course does a good job at making you think without rote memorization. The assignments encourage one to think about the process and how one can apply the learned material to a given problem. 100% recommend to anyone wanting to learn python.

This course is very clear, elaborative and explains basics very nicely. Especially the Professor is very interactive and is providing a lot of insight into each and every topic with apt examples and comparisons. I feel very blessed to be a student in this course. I hope with some more practice and logical thinking I can achieve my goal of learning and coding in python.

A great course to start learning the methods of computer programming and also a perfect platform to revise and re-memorize programming logic and skills. Thank you Dr Chuck for such wonderful presentation and making python learning such a fun. The motivational talks by some of the pioneers in modern day production indulged me to think different and move forward in life.

I started this course with a healthy bit of skepticism. I never thought that in the course of 7 weeks this baby boomer would be able to sufficiently gather a basic understanding of programming and actually write simple scripts. But many thanks to Dr Chuck's visuals, and detailed explanations this course was enjoyable and rewarding. On to the next Python course !

This is the first online course that I have been able to successfully complete. It is by far, the best online educational experience I have had. The course is well structured where the notes, the lecture videos and assignment are well synchronize , allowing you to follow along so well. I strongly recommend this course to anyone who wants to Get Started with Python!

Estoy muy contenta de haber trabajado en este curso. La felxibilidad de realizar el curso a cualquier hora es muy vaiolosa para mi. El Prof. Chuck es fantástico! es la primera vez que logro entender cabalmente cómo funciona el flujo en python, muchas gracias por los ejercicios sugeridos y explicados. Recomiendo mucho este curso a todo el que desee comenzar con Python.

The course was great! I really enjoyed the way Prof. Charles Severance taught. He made things interesting and explained the concepts really well. His teaching was truly amazing! His way of teaching has helped me to solve the assignments with relative ease. I never felt lost in any of the lectures. The assignments and quizzes were great, too. Thank you for this course!

I found this course really useful and informative. Before starting this course, I had zero experience in python programming, but at the end of it, I was confident that I had a strong foundation in python to build upon. Dr.Chucks additional videos were inspiring and interesting. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn programming from scratch.

As an accounting student, I have little knowledge about programing before taking this course. Through the learning process, I started to have a basic understanding of the python lanuage. With the class exercies, I evaluated my learning progress and learned how to apply what I had learned. I'm preparing to learn the next course and improve my python knowledge tomorrow!

This course was incredibly easy to understand for someone who has little to no coding experience. I'm excited about what I'll be able to do after completing the entire specialization and look forward to future classes with Dr. Severance. If you're thinking about jumping into Python for the first time and gaining more than just basic knowledge, this class is for you!

This course was exactly as advertised. It truly was accessible to the non-programmer through a step by step methodology with clear presentation. What was a wonderful surprise was the personable way Dr Chuck presented and how he shared best practices that leveraged Atom, command line executionand the program checker. Well done! I plan on continuing with this series.

A great introduction to Python (and really to programming in general). The course has a very suitable balance between easy-to-understand explanations and a bit more challenging problems. I love that you are not allowed to post code in the forums, as this really challenges you to solve the problems on your own (but with assistance from the teaching staff, if required).

I loved this course, but I was a bit unhappy when I realized that if I wanted to continue the specialization I would have to pay for it. This did leave a bit of a sour after-taste. All in all I am very satisfied with courses on coursera (have taken a few already) and I also like the style dr.Chuck uses to teach. It the future I will search for some other free courses.

Great for a real beginner. Explanation is clear, very structured! This program is helping you to build how to communicate with Python language. Well explanation on how Python (general programming language) understand syntax (human order)

If you already have good foundation of programming language, it might be easy for you. If you not, then this is great for baby step!

Excellent course, specially if you want to start from scratch. It gives you the feeling of being in an actual class. I've done the whole codecademy python course, which was very focused on the practical side, and it is great now to do this course to understand the theory behind it, and what was I actually doing. I'll certainly continue. Thanks for the awesome content!

I completed a Python basic course, and it was an excellent learning experience. The course covered fundamental concepts comprehensively, making it easy for beginners. The instructors were knowledgeable, and the hands-on exercises helped solidify my understanding. I now feel confident in my Python skills and look forward to further courses to build on this foundation.

The course is great for beginners. Before taking the course, I have tried several course. I almost gave up learning programming. However, the course makes me find the interest and enjoy in the course. I am really happy and finish the course. I have found the enthusiasmabout learning programming. I will keep learning python. Thanks professor Charles Russell Severance

I got an clear overview of computer systems, a treasure trove of accessible resources (videos, ebook, forums, instructor support), an entirely new toolbox for solving math problems like those on Project Euler. I also loved the "side bar" videos of office hours and interviews. The interviews especially added to my appreciation and understanding of computer systems.

This course overcome my expectation, I thought it was going to be more basic but actually, I learned several concepts for programming in python. I just finished the first course and I already sign up for the next one. The teacher is so expressive, kind and he tries to explain easily all of the concepts. I recommended it if you want to start in this programming world.

I would to thanks coursera and our Python instructor Dr. Chuck. It was so easy to learn with Dr. chuck. He explained it very well. I never got bored at any point during learning this course. It was so interesting and now I know I'm able to understand the programs and write some code also. I'll keep coding. Thank you Dr. Chuck for motivation and knowledge you gave us.

I got to say it's a really funny experience. People always think programming is a boring stuff, but this course really show how funny the programming could be. I remember someone told me that the only difference between elite and loser is perseverance. I do believe this course will encourge more people join the programming team, let programming make the world better!
