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.

this course is too good. I have trying to do so many other online courses online but never succeeded in completing as I never feel connected. but I really appreciate the efforts of prof. Chuck, he is incredible in his way of teaching.

It's fun. I will keep learning.

Thank you

Great course for beginners! Though the work was simple, I still found the material to be quite useful in helping me understand the code a bit better. The professor was very clear for all the topics, making Python so much easier to learn than I would have thought possible!

This course was so much fun! I started with zero knowledge of programming and now I understand the basic concepts of writing code, and I have the ability to write basic programs. The combination of video lectures and an easy to understand textbook made learning efficient.

Very good about breaking everything down to a beginner level. There are a lot of examples and walk-throughs that allow students to practice the lessons learned in class.

The textbook is easy-to-read and the course itself is very fun. Have already recommended it to friends.

Me gustó, mucho la elaboración del contenido. No hablo inglés perfecto y tampoco hay subtítulos, lo que me hizo tardarme mucho tiempo más, el contenido fue fácil de llevar, cada tema explicaba cada detalle, me hizo sentir un vínculo con el profesor, el tema y el contenido.

Frist I really want to thank Coursera and University of Michigan for giving me the chance to learn this course with financial aid. This course is absolutely amazing and Dr. Charles is very nice. I really enjoy the process. Just hoping have more opportunities to learn more.

This course is very good for beginners as it goes through the basics. The quizzes and assignments give you good command over the basics. I also belong to the non- programming background, but this course gave me such confidence to go through the rest of the related courses.

If you are thinking of studying Python, this course is perfect match. The content is not so difficult to understand and the length is suitable for people whose time is constraint. Also, the question and programming quizs at the end of each chapter is useful for reviewing.

It helps me learn the basic things from the python programming language. I was very confused at first which language should we learn at first and which one is comparatively easy. Now after taking this course I can say that Python is way better easy than any other language.

I had a great experience in learning Python for Everybody. The course can be taken by someone who is a bit interested in learning a programming language without having any prior knowledge of programming. This course gives you the complete gist on how a programming is done.

For a beginner in programming this course provides basic information. It makes the task of learning a new skill simple and easy. For experienced IT professionals, who know other programming languages, this course is too easy and they can finish the course in a week or two.

The Most Excellent professor Ever!!! He's so interesting and teach me Python in a easy-to-accept way. He could always use metaphor to describe something not so familiar with us novice and my favorite is the one of listening to music in Chapter 1. What an attractive course!

Please Make the code test more accurate , like we write our code and you can automatically test it using pre-stored samples' list of different inputs .

in case the code passes all the sample tests then that the code is 100% correct .

Thank you very much for this great COURSE

As a virtual beginner in computer programming, I found this course very useful. The course covers important common programming concepts and Python syntax. If I were someone who already knew another programming language well, I suspect this course would be too elementary.

The course was very basic and really good for those who are totally beginner I am not the good candidate for the course since I am working with JAVA from last 3 years since everything is very easy for me as such this course is really good but I am not a good one to review.

This course by Prof. Dr.Charles Severance from University of Michigan is very good for people who wanted to start with Python. His teaching skill is genuinely good. He teaches how python works internally which helps us understand more and remember better.

Thanks,

Very nice course. It was a little bit too simple for me personally, as I had some programming background already, but I believe, the way things were explained throughout the course was really helpful. In my opinion, the course is very valuable for the beginners. Thank you!

Excellent programming introduction to everyone. Very detailed lectures and readings. It builds from the basics and gradually introduce more complex situations, leaving no sense of big confussion compared to other courses I've taken. Thanks Dr. Chuck and thanks to Coursera.

Great course! I am an absolute beginner in programming, yet the instructor made it rather easy to master the basics of Python. Thank you very much! I highly recommend this course to anyone who would like to test the waters and see if Python is the right language for them.

Es un curso increíble, el insructor es miy amigable, y siempre hay respuesta en los foros de discusión ya sea por otros instructores o entre la comunidad. Lo que se pide en los cuestionarios y ejercicios prácticos es acorde con lo que se ve en los vídeos, ni más ni menos.

Professor Severance is really good at guide beginner to build a mindset of a programmer! I've learnt python through other videos and online course for several times, but never have been this clear about the concept and logic of coding.

One of the best online courses ever!

Dr. Severance is such a wonderful teacher! I had never done programming before, he built the course so well. Easy in the beginning and challenging at the end. Just the right amount of difficulty to keep going. It was a joy completing this course. Look forward to the next.

I hope that the "Python for Everyone tool" gets upgraded so we can have mor hints about the type of error we are getting. I spent 3 trying to solve my code, but the problem was a misspelling in the output.

Anyways, I had a great time. See you in next chapter. Thank you.
