I loved it! Dr. Chuck is extraordinary in his explanations. A great way to start on Python programming. As a person that hasn't programmed in years it was an encouraging and educational experience :-)

Great introduction to Python and programming as a whole. Everything is broken down making it easy to understand. Had zero programming experience before and this class made it easy and fun to get into.

Very good course, especially for those, who want to start programming and know nothing about it. Dr Chuck is an excellent educator, really engaging with a great sense of humour, so if you're a newbie and interested in learning about Python, surely you won't fall asleep during his lectures.

I never thought I'd enjoy learning how to program! Dr Chuck is engaging and funny in delivering the material. I've done several MOOCs, and Getting Started with Python is by far the most interesting. It has been 7 weeks well spent and I highly recommend it. Onto Python Data Structures next!

Great class. This course is very useful and helpful to me. It also opens up a lot of material and videos. These quizzes and exercises are very interesting and enlightening for programming learners. In particular, Dear Professor Charles Sefrans is also very wise, humorous and full of love.

Programación en Python: He fortalecido mis habilidades de programación en el lenguaje Python a medida que avancé en el curso.

Entrada y Salida de Datos: He adquirido la capacidad de solicitar datos al usuario a través del teclado y de mostrar información en la pantalla de manera eficiente.

I had tried learning Python many years ago and I could not complete it as I had no idea what's talking about during the class. Now this class makes me understand step-by-step of the Python and now I can say I really love it and looking forward to finish all the courses for specialization.

This was a great way to re-hash some of the programming structure I had used in college but long forgotten. I am continuing this course into its further Python components because I really like the structure, and I think the remaining content will further help me in my role as an engineer.

I have learned alot from this course. The way of teaching is great. The best thing about this course is that if you are starting from 0 you will face no difficulty to understand the things. I love to take further courses in future. Thank you professor Charles for making things easy for us

It was too easy for me as I have studied some languages in universities but it is great for those who have no programming background. I have just completed the first course in this specialization and would update the review when I hopefully complete the remaining 4 courses. Happy Learning

I have never seen such a clear and seemingly easy explanation of aprogramming language which is step by step and forces you to brain storm yourself to work on problems and build a skill to work and build our own programs. One of the best starts a student would want towards learning Python

Un buen curso para comenzar, es importante por cierto ir leyendo el libro Python para todos y realizar los ejercicios propuestos. Ideal para estudiantes y profesionales que quieren comprender Python y la programación desde los cimientos. Buenas perspectivas de solución a problemas además.

Proper explanation, great examples, best materials. I love the way Charles explains everything. It's really easy for beginners to understand python. Happy to be a student of Charles's online class. I wish very best of luck for his tremendous job and I'm eagerly waiting for the next class.

I loved this course.

Especially I am your big fan by joining this course in Coursera

I decided to complete all your courses.

I enjoyed a lot.

Right now I completed 2 of your courses in order

I hope and the next I can complete with a lot of joy and fun.

I am so vicarious of your bonus classes.

I was really having a difficulty in learning python, but DR.Chuck and coursera helped a lot! And I am really thankful to Coursera as they helped a lot with financial aid too! As I will finish the course I will definitely get all the benefits of this course.

Thank you coursera and Dr.Chuck.

No words to say, thank you Mr.Chuk because of you my work on bioinformatics completed earlier than I was imagined. Thank you coursera for providing this opportunity. The idea of this course will be helpful even for biologists like me without having no prior knowledge of computer languages

Loved this first course and definitely going to keep it going. Dr. Chuck is awesome its not just the hype. If you're interested in learning python or learning programing but, not sure where to start, this class shed light on some question I was pondering and some that I didn't know I had.

This is a very good course! I learned a lot in a short time, and the assignments were effective in reinforcing the material. I highly recommend this course to anyone who has a history of programming, but hasn't been doing it for a while. I am learning Python very quickly through Coursera!

I really enjoyed this course. Charles has a great personality and the course content is relevant to the assignment tasks. The additional resources (textbook) and review of discussion forum conversations were helpful in being able to work out the solutions for myself with the graded tasks.

This is a great start to Python. I tried learn using the python manuals and i was able to understand the concepts but i got difficulties when i try to create a program. But after taking this course it helped me in how to start and put things one by one. Absolutely greatly designed course.

This course is a very perfect course for someone who want to start his programming life. As a rookie in computer science, I feel very gainful in this course, I will recommend to my friends this course and finally hope teachers here and students who study together with me have a happy day!

I've struggled mightily in the past with attempts at learning a programming language from the ground up. Dr. Severance really did a fantastic job with his lectures. The pace is just right for someone who doesn't just start off as a natural. Looking forward to the next course! Thank you!

The content is awesome and with a great lecturer like Mr. Charles, the course is extraordinary. the university is gifted to have a lecturer like him and its a pleasure to be one of his students. Thanks a lot sir and thank you Coursera for helping out students during these lockdown times.

This course is amazing! It is so fun to start learning a programming language that focuses on implementation rather than syntax. This course is made fun by the Instructor Dr. Charles Severance who uses simple language and effective demonstrations to guide us through the course. Loved it!

Un curso realmente bueno para un principiante, aunque no tiene muchos ejercicios de práctica, se explica muy bien de forma simple los conceptos fundamentales para empezar en este largo mundo de la programación. Los subtitulos y la buena dicción del tutor facilitan también el aprendizaje.

No me imaginé que hacer un curso me iba a hacer reír y aprender tanto al mismo tiempo..excelente profesor, organización y exposición de ideas..me hubiese gustado más prácticos de código, pero igualmente no queda más que seguir experimentando con soluciones a problemas que se me presenten
