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.

It is the best course. The instruction, the course material, the presentation, the assignments, the exams and other interviews/videos which at first seem nothing but are very helpful for the course. Keep up the good work Michigan University. Thank you Coursera!

This is an amazing course for the very beginners and would help generate interest in coding.

Special thanks to Dr. Charles R Severance for making this course seem easy as well as interesting. Would definitely continue with the next part of this specialization.

Very well designed course to introduce beginners to Python. Exercises were very good at summarising and reinforcing lessons learnt. Instructor is very clear and easy to understand. Definitely reccommend if you have never encoutered programming languages before.

If you are starting to learn a programming language with no prior knowledge of any other programming language THEN this is just right for you. However this course will be an absolute breeze if you have done some programming before. All the best in your journey!

Very Good Course. I loved the format of the syllabus taught in this Course as when i was getting lessons on python in my college, i was not able to understand anything. The format, the flow and pattern of teaching was very comfortable and easily understanding.

The best course in programming for beginners. Professor Chuck has such an amazing skills of narration and providing lucid explanations. His style of teaching makes programming so easy for everyone (even for those who are not having any prior coding experience).

prof. Charles breaks down everything to the simplest level while explaining concepts. I cant really say much from a complete beginners perspective as I am a little experienced in coding. looking forward to the next course from the 5 course python specialisation

Thanks to Prof Charles Severance. He started from the very basic level of understanding which helps the learners to build up the confidence and to write the python codes. I am looking forward to enrolling in the next course of python by Prof. Charles Severance.

It is still a awesome platform for learning. i can't explain in words how intelligently and tricky way, Sir Charles Severance told to solve various problems . Well, i would still continue for further partsof this courses for gaining more experience and skill.

I'm feeling blessed for taking this course. Right now, I'm on cloud nine, and eager to take rest of the courses in this series. Though I'm naive to programming, but this course sparked an infinit pool of energy in me; I'm going to purse a career in this field.

The Instructor had explained each and every point in a very crystal clear way. He made me understand the concepts by teaching at my level of perception. I am very thankful to sir that he made me learn this course playfully. thanks to the whole team of coursera.

Dr. Russell was made me really connect with him. He was casually funny and real, I could tell that he has been teaching for a long time and it just comes naturally. The videos make you feel that you are interacting with another human and make easier to pick up.

Python is the most recognized programming language in the world and having a teach as Dr. Chuck is a great aggregated value.

It's been awesome how you could learn python in a simplistic way without being a professional in the IT area.

Thank you so much, Coursera!

It has content, where it starts from basic of computing, from hardware analogy to understanding and writing program. It also has interviews of Guido and founder of Arduino as bonus content. So overall i recommend this course for people who want to learn python.

Very satisfied with the structure of the course. Although I am from a programming background hence could get hold of the basic topics quickly to finish the course in a week but highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn python and is new to programming.

Learning a new language is really difficult. Thanks to coursera and the instructor they made this course so easy that any one can understand the concept of the programming and complexity of it very easily.

Thank you coursera and special thanks to the instructor.

Suprising combination of easy threshold of entry for audience without programming experience and quickly growing complexity of tasks that will keep people with more experience interested. Nice sense of humor by Dr. Chuck as a pleasant bonus. Highly recommended.

Well structured course which makes it easy to learn the material and includes lots of exercises to test your understanding. Assignment solutions are thoroughly discussed which makes it easier to assess the efficiency of your own code compared to the professor.

very good course for beginners. The explanations and course materials are perfect. The language used in the book is easy to understand. New students, must try to read the book first and then listen to the professor. That will be easy to understand the content.

This course is well designed and easy to understant. I will recommend this course to beginners as well as intermediate users in programming who have an interest in learn Python irrespective of their main subjects (biological, physical sciences, commerce etc).

I had a great time. I love to take more courses from coursera and University of Michigan. I had developed interest in taking online courses. The interviews (short talks) at the end of every week are so inspiring. It develops self-confidence in me. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this course. It helped me to bring back some knowledge and implement them. As human, we never stop learning, so these online tools help and motive me to keep progressing… Many thanks Mr. Charles… I would really like to keep up on leaning here…
