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.

One of the best programming courses I've ever had in my life and certainly, one of the kindest programming teachers I've ever met. If you're unsure about learning Python or want to begin learning how to program, this is one of the best courses you could take.

This course is awesome, especially if you are an absolute beginner and have no idea what coding is at all. I knew a little of the basics, but Dr. Chuck helped me learn how Python works and gave me a really great foundational understanding. On to the next one!

Great introduction to Python! Professor Charles Severance has done an amazing job explaining the different concepts in a simple and easy-to-comprehend way. This course is the ultimate first step to Python, laying the foundations for every aspiring programmer.

Great hands-on (many labs with automated grading) intro to Python. Most labs are short-length coding assignments (10-20 lines max). The basics are covered efficiently with added lectures if necessary. I highly recommend this course for anyone learning Python.

This is a great course and wonderful teacher for people with very little to no background in computer science. Python appears to be a user friendly language for beginning programmers and I would recommend this class to anyone with an interest to give it a go!

A great investment of my time to learn some basics of the Python programming language, as well as experiencing some high-quality education on the Coursera platform. I am a higher education professor and administrator of online education. Well done, Dr. Chuck.

This was my first Coursera course I ever completed.

As programmer most of the content I already knew, but I believed there is also some info might be between the lines, which it was actually true, and in top of that it was fun all the way.

Thank you Dr. Chunck

easy to understand and given ample time to finish up our assessment (assignment & review). Easy to navigate from one topic to another. Very interesting presentation and use example that easy to understand. For example, show in details how to get the output.
