I am a Software Engineer, and most of the concepts in this course were already known to me. However, the way they were approached and taught would definitely be digestible by someone who knows absolutely nothing about the field and I would definitely recommend this course to anyone to get started with basic programming and introductory concepts

Thanks so much Charles in giving a very easy to understand lectures to the general public, including me who is not a major in Math. It's interesting to know how Python structures in a fun way that we can easily relate with visualisation and props used during the coures. Although I feel a bit challenged, it's fun through out the learning process!

Dr.chuck's nice personality is like a father giving faith to his child that you can walk .you can achieve .

I didn't realised that the course had been over , is said what due to him my participation and enthusiasm was continued in the course .

His way of teaching is very kind and natural like what you should wanted a professional programmer to be.

Curso estupendo para introducirte en el mundo de Python. El profesor es un gran profesional y sabe explicar perfectamente todo paso a paso. Había intentado otros cursos de Python antes, pero ninguno había conseguido explicar las bases de manera sencilla para personas que no tuvieran nada de experiencia en programación. Esta ha sido la excepción.

I am completely overwhelmed by this course and i am glad i opted out for Michigan University. Dr. Chuck is completely an enthralling personality , i had real fun while learning through the basics of python. He is extremely proficient and i would suggest anyone who's reading this to please go and hit the register button for this course under him.

Excellent! I am a finance student and this is the first language I am learning. Everything was explained so very simply and comprehensively. I found this personally to be one of the best ways to get started with not just coding python but coding in general as it gives you a very clear idea of what coding is, also while keeping everything simple!

The course covers the fundamental materials of Python and the way that instructor presents makes me interested in coding. The quiz questions are easy but some of coding questions really struggling. I spent many time to figure that out. Generally, it is really worth to learn that. And I 'm really glad that I finally complete all the study goals.

A worthwhile introduction. The bonus videos were not helpful. The final assignment video of using Atom did not match well with the rest of the introduction and playground setting of the course. I am not sure how to fix it, but I think it would be beneficial if introductory students submitted python files created by Atom or a similar file editor.

Great , even for a non native english person , is easy to understand the Dr. Charles Severance. Had some struggles during the homeworks, cause i didnt understand exactly how they want me to do it , did it first in some way , got same answer but not same process , so that was the hard part for non native english person, besides that it was great.

In the first course of Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python), Prof Severance gives a great introduction for anyone who's interested in learning Python whether for personal or business use cases. I found the material and assignments very easy to follow and complete. I look forward to moving on and completing all of the courses!

Dr. Chuck is a great instructor. I love the humor in the lectures. Lectures are easy to follow and Dr. Chuck is engaging. I learned the basics of python and I really enjoyed that journey. I recommend that the students should also watch the bonus videos. Those videos are inspiring and broaden your understanding regarding the world of technology.

Professor Severence is an excellent teacher. He made it so easy and interactive that it didn't feel any difference compared to face to face interaction with teachers as in real life. His easy going explanation and test pattern made it easier. It's more like teaching students rather than judging students, which is very encouraging for beginners.

Great course for beginners in programming or Python. If you already know any other programming language you will finish this course in a day or two. I would advise you to learn a more syntax heavy language like Java or C++ first. Great professor, too easy quizzes, good assignments. Nothing challenging if you've done any other language, but fun.

This course is really something, its my first time that i'm enjoying a coding course and teacher was out of this world. I almost never knew that it was a course for studying a programming language it was more like learning a fun language with a funny teacher. You are the best sir and thank you for this course, heads off to all the team members.

Amazing instruction, the content is broken down into simple yet manageable chunks that doesn't make Python seem as intimidating or as complex as I initially thought it would be. It has truly been an eye opening experience and I'm looking forward to learning more in future.

I very highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn Python!

It's been a really enjoyable adventure with Professor Chuck. He makes programming with Python interesting and easy to begin. I had zero programming knowledge, but now I can understand the basic programming structure with is really amazing and incredible. I highly recommend this course to any beginners, you will love coding! Thank you Dr. Chuck!

It's really wonderful journey with coursera and of course Dr. chuck through out the course. Dr. Chuck take the course in such a easy way that enables us to get every lecture easily. He makes lot of fun in the class which does not let me to get bored and help me to enjoy the class. Hopefully i will carry my journey with Coursera for a long time.

The professor/instructor is what makes this course incredible - his passion and love for the subject are so infectious and inspirational - he is also incredibly intelligent and capable of conveying such complex ideas and concepts in ways that are quick to comprehend. Very enjoyable, informative, and course I would recommend without hesitation.

This was my first time learning Python and I really enjoyed the course. Dr. Chuck made the introduction of this language extremely approachable and I was able to find help on topics and answers on questions by visiting forums. I also loved the website: py4e.com. Overall, I loved this class and look forward to learning a lot from the next class.

Dr. Chuck is an amazing teacher. He is really knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge. He explains the concept in detail and engages you in this online course very well. The course was excellent, and I highly recommend this course.

I also want to thank Coursera for its support of universal access to the world's best education.

Thank you for making this course free!

The accompanying book is really great, and the examples are very well designed.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out a small typo on page 114 (Chapter 9. Dictionaries): in a code statement print a.translate(string.maketrans(' ',' '), string.punctuation there is a missing ) character at the end.

This is really a nice course for beginners and some one who has no scripting/programming experience. Course structure and pace of learning is designed very well. There are some interesting Video on office hours, Python development history and interesting interview bytes from Guido van Rossum which makes online learning an enjoyable experience.

Exceptionally clear, entertaining, and useful. Even though some exercises are not always straightforward, they are extremely well planned. So, for anybody who will go to face them, don't assume they are misplanned. The course achieves its mission. Finally, I would recommend using some interface different from Atom, which is not very intuitive.

I wish they taught like this back in college. Anyway this is where I learned python 3 years and was able to use it on my work. I like how they teach all of the basics and provide learning materials as well such as text books, real-life examples, etc. The instructor, Dr. Chuck also provides some humor to make the classes lively and interesting.

This was a very informative and interesting course presented wonderfully by Dr. Charles. One could never get bored as the courses are pack of short videos filled with lots of information and a bit of humour too.

i genuinely want to thank the presentor for creating an interest in me for this subject. Overall it was a wonderful experience for me!
