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.

Excellent, although, even without having any programming experience except some Visual Basic at school about ten years ago, in my opinion the course could have bee more difficult and the pace quicker.

This course gives you a head start to learn how to program Python in an easy and basic way.

If you don't know nothing about computers this is the best introductory course.

If you have some experience with computer but knows nothing about Python, this is also for you.

Being a beginner with absolutely NO idea of programming, this program has helped me a lot in learning the basics about python. Charles is very good in the work he does; you can easily understand his teachings. I'm so excited to continue the rest of the coursework !

This course allows anyone to introduce to the principles of programming and the available tools that makes easier to code. Python itself as a Programming language is very readable and ideal for beginners or for non IT professionals who desire getting these skills.

Ya había tomado un curso anteriormente en la Universidad sobre programación pero nunca entendí nada de lo que escribía, ahora tengo todo muy claro. El profesor hace que el aprendizaje sea fluido. Lo recomiendo full para empezar a entender lenguaje de programación.

Highly recommended for those who do not have coding experience. Lecture is easy to follow. Quiz is being structured for student to understand even more. Assignment is somewhat challenging, it enhance troubleshoot skill if strictly follow instructor recommendation.

Dr. Chuck did a very good job for lecture teaching, it is easier for students to understand and catch up. Besides, those interview session with different founders and students are inspiring me as well. Appreciate that! Great job, keep it up, Dr. Chuck!!! thanks :)

This course was fantastic. It was the perfect balance of "Oh this is easy, this is easier...wait what is happening" Dr Chuck Severance is a great teacher. I will look for courses taught by him in the future, starting with the rest of this specialization.Thank you

Great introduction to programming, I brought the course book, it makes the assignments easier and the content is better understood and retained. The pdf version is available free, but for me having a paper copy is just easier to flick through, read and reference.

Is an excelent introductury course for people interested in programming. Even, if the programming language is Python, the course gives the student the base of programming in an easy and understandable way.

I am happy to have done this course.

Thanks for the teacher.

This starter course is excellent. Very comprehensive for me who only knows basic programming from high school. It was well-designed. The lecture is easy to follow and humorous sometimes. This is just the beginning though, there's still more courses to accomplish.

As a person who wants to learn programming and all other stuff related to it, this is a great start.

The lectures are well thought out, with proper pacing and order, they don't suddenly jump to another topic that's completely unrelated or advanced.

Would recommend!

An enjoyable introduction to python programming. The learning curve can feel a little steep as the course moves on, particularly if you are completely new to programming. However, Charles Severance is a good teacher and he makes the course enjoyable and engaging.

Prof. Charles Russell Severance is one of the best teachers i have encountered. I am amazed he had me engaged in video lectures as it is difficult to have students interested in offline classes in the first place. Thank you sir for a lovely learning experience.
