Easy to follow and not boring. The instructor breaks things down in simple form. The Coursera platform is sometimes a bit quirky but otherwise the content in this course I thought was quite excellent.

The class is very easy to follow through. Video lectures followed by well designed exercises help you to understand and retain information. Could complete the entire course in less time if you put in the needed effort. Really a good start for learning computation and Python.

One of the best introductory courses I've taken. Short, to the point, has enough information to learn the all-important fundamentals of the language and boost your confidence. Professor is engaging and the pace is great. It encourages you to learn more. Highly recommended!

This course was so interactive, the lecturer was connecting effectively with the audience despite the fact that they were pre recorded classes. I learnt a lot from this course, lecture materials were so detailed and i look forward to continue learning python on this platform

Dr. Chuck is "THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER", the way he explains things is just insane, he has cracked a way to say things which directly feeds in our brains and stays there. Amazing course, really enjoyed the first course, looking forward to completing the entire specialization.

I would like to thank Professor Severance for this wonderful Coursera course. I have learned a lot. I learned quite fast even though I have no background in programming because each lesson is well explained and taught. Looking forward to taking other Coursera courses by you.

Dr. Chuck uses Mac as a tool to edit and the form is a bit different from windows',
and I had some trouble right after downloaded python like I don't know where to active the file, how Atom work with python. It took me a few hours to figure out and after that it was all fine.

This is a very good course for the people who are new to programming and want to start off with Python. The teacher is very good and sure seems to be at the top of his field. The assignments may feel tough at the beginning but you will surely figure them out in a short time.

I learnt how to write c, c++, VB and VBA and the most part of this course looks familiar to me. However, still this course is very good and friendly for beginners. Also, refreshing the very fundamental knowledge of programs palys a crucial role to my programming career also.

This course starts out very well with extensive background information about the instructor, his history and books that he has written and explanations about computers, peripherals and software. This is all laid out so that the information is easily digestible by the layman.

Before taking this course, I've never tried any coding and I don't even know if I'll be able to continue this. However, the teaching style of Charles Severance is fun and interesting, I do like and enjoy the new field and learn a lot from the course. Good job! Mr. Severance!

I have absolutely no programming experience, with minor reading I was able to write a few perl and shell scripts. But python, I have never even wrote a hello world program, the course was simple and straight forward, I enjoyed every piece of the material and the assignments.

Really good course, even for those who already have a programming background.
This course teaches programming basics, quick and easy.
I completed the course within 2 weeks, and I had learned a lot.
I truly enjoyed watching the "Bonus videos" - really interesting and motivating.

I've already learned so much. The hardest part is getting used to online learning if your only previous experience has been in person, but the so far everyone I've interacted with in Coursera and regarding this course have done everything to help you overcome that obstacle.

Very decent entry course into programming. It goes through the most used lines of codes in Python and I liked that each week had some exercises that bundled that week's material. I executed all the code that I observed during the lectures to develop some more muscle memory!

Cool introduction to Python! videos are short and clear. Professor is nice and funny wearing a choosing hat from HarryPotter and filming blogs around the world with student. +interviews with Techpeople. assignments have deadlines; and are neither too easy nor too difficult.
