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.

Great course for those wanting to get into python. If you are already a programmer, you probably will want something more intensive. As someone who last took a programming course 25+ years ago this was a perfect re-introduction to the field and most specifically to python syntax.

This is best course I ever took and I took many of them. Prof. Charles Severance is best teacher I ever had including real life :) And trainings are really challenging which makes successes more delicious :)

Thanks everybody who worked in this project. I am looking for next courses.

Really enjoyed this course. A great source for beginners. The instructor is very clear and easily understandable. His method is also very engrossing, which is a great thing because sometimes programming courses are so so much filled with jargon, that they get boring. 5 stars!!!! :D

Glad I had someone to tell me about this. I was trying to learn just by reading and was not getting it at all. This course is awesome. I am actually just a business major with no programming background at all. I am very excited to continue to the other courses! Thank you very much!

Great course for beginners. I am a student of Electrical Engineering and had no previous hands on experience of Python. This course is very basic and Dr. Charles is an awesome teacher, the way he explains, he is also humorous and makes sure that you don't feel bored in any video..!

Thought I reviewed already. Is a great introductory class to not just python, but programming in general. I highly recommend this course for beginner programmers. Intermediate and advance users who have to take this for the specialization should just do the quizzes and assignments.

I really love this course and Dr. Chuck who makes those new concepts very easy and funny to grasp. I am looking forward to seek new opportunity for my career by studying python through some courses provided by coursera. And I find this course a really good introduction to python 3.

This was an excellent opening to the later, more advanced classes. The instructor is very good at presenting the material in an easy-to-understand style and the advancements are in just the right incremental level to give a student a good feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction.

One of the most exciting course I've ever learned. Everything is designed perfectly with all the materials, tools, feedback... especially taught by a very very special man, Mr Chuck. Thank you a lot, Dr Chuck and all members of Coursera. I wish you all a lot of health and success!

It's one of the best course out there for python if you are learning it from a scratch. The instructor has taken special care to make this course knowledgeable and beginner friendly at the same time. Regular quizzes and assignments will help you in analyzing what you have learned.

I loved the course, I struggled a lot with exercise 5.2 but in the end I made it. I liked Dr. Chuck's explanation very much, even though I don't know much English, I understood him without reading Spanish subtitles.

I'm going to take advantage of my vacation to continue learning.

First of all, I would like to thanks Coursera and the University of Michigan who make the bridge between me and this course. My heartiest gratitude to Prof. Charles Severance who tried his best to reach us with a strategic way to help us understand the basics of Python. Thank you.

The instructor was so good. He is really a good interpreter. When he visits different countries to meet his students, it looks nice. I wish I could meet him if he ever comes to Bangladesh. In a word, it was fun to do the course. I learned a lot and planning to continue the course.

Excelente manera de empezar, me encanto lo directo, fácil y bien explicado de los conceptos que el curso pretende enseñar. Aun falta que este disponible en español para que muchas mas personas puedan acceder a el. Recomendadisimo si apenas empiezas en programación como es mi caso.

An excellent course for beginners as well as for people coming from other programming backgrounds. The tutorials are extremely beginner-friendly and a great way for people from other programming backgrounds to learn the syntax and changes needed to adapt to the python environment.

This course is interesting and it really enhances my interest in field of programming specially in Python language.

It shows us that programming is for everybody not only for the professional programmers and python is such an easy language so anyone can do programming using this.

This course explained the basics of programming really well! I have already taken a java course(AP computer science) so other than the python syntax, it was all review. However, he really explained all the content in a completely understandable matter so this course was excellent.

Great introduction to Python programming language. Self-paced course with videos/classes that cover broadly the contents needed to perform the required exercises/assignments. The course book also provides extra material and consists of a solid reference manual for Python learners.

Course is very well structured, I really liked the way Dr.chuck is explaining, The exercises at the end of each week helped me a lot to actually implement what i have learned and some of the exercise seems to be a little complex, and yes this course is 'Programming for Everybody'.

A very well thought out and planned coursework with emphasis on general programming logic. I would like to congratulate Professor Charles on his contributions as a teacher. I really liked the flow of the program. Looking forward to more such topics !! Thanks a lot :))
