Definitely recommended. I have no prior coding or programming knowledge but the course is effective in making one understand the language. Would look forward to the 2nd course.

Thank you :)

Great way to learn the basics. Much better than the book on its own. Nice style, simple explanations, and helpful coursemates to answer questions and discuss topics with. Highly recommend.

Very intuitive and easy to understand course.

the flow of the learning course coupled with the assignments makes this a must go to course for anyone who wants to learn python from scratch.

I love how this course contextualizes each programming concept, instead of presenting it in a vacuum as other programming MOOCs I've attempted have done. I'm very thankful for this course.

This course is a complete and comprehensive start for people who don't know anything about programming, and it fully explains all the issues related to starting Python programming. thanks

I loved it.

Presentation was great.

Content was perfect (for beginners)

Assignments - well thought out, really helped me put in practice what I've learned.

Peer review - great idea!

thank you

This course is meant for true beginners. All participants can feel that the instructor teaches with utmost patience and passion. A great instructor and an equally great course. Thank you!

This course covered plenty of material in a reasonable timespan and accurately taught students the basics of programming in python.

Thank you Dr. Severance and the University of Michigan.

I'm so suprise with details of this course, I'm from Viet Nam and this is first time I learn new thing with another language, with passion programming this course will help me a lot. Love

The course is very interesting and provides a lot of knowledge to those who complete it. I started with zero knowledge in python, today I can make basic programs using creativity as well.

The instructor teaches you "why and how" very well, so he makes it easy to understand. Some subjects is now clearer to me even if I think I already knew them. I really enjoyed the course.

This course is the best one I have found on the web. Its very good for the beginners. Overall it was excellent. I hope the next courses in the specialization are also as good as this was.

A GREAT well structured course to learn the basics of python. Charles Severance delivered the lessons really well and they were easy to understand. I wish all my professors were like him.

first of all I like to thank to coursera for providing me scholarship for this course. Every bit and byte of this this course is amazing and I have learnt a lot by completing this course.

This was amazing ...!! being a physical science student and a beginner i have never tried reaching out to the computer science which is also so amazing (especially python ) ..Thank you .

Very good experience with this course.It is absolutely helpful for beginners.Dr.chuck lectures are Very interesting and is easy to understand.Thank you Coursera for giving the opportunity

I should congratulate the course teacher whose interaction is best and enjoyable and made this course easy and understandable. This course would really help me to run through future jobs.

Excellent,although even without having any programming experience I completed this course easily.

I never get bored while completing these course. It's a good starting point for beginners.

Great course, great materials and wonderful teaching style with special thanks to Dr.Severance.

Without any doubt, this course is one of the best programming courses that I've ever joined.

Fantastic course for learning Python! Fast and straightforward. Effective teaching. Enjoying every minute of it, I am now creating for loops and understanding the nuances of the language.

It was my best experince learing online in such a platform at coursera during the lockdown.I to recommend other of my friends to study and learn new technology with their updated version.

Dr. Chuck is really a good person as well as a good teacher. He has made this Python course so easy & comfortable for beginners. Everyone should try this course who wants to learn Python.

It was a very helpful and informative introduction to Python. The lectures were very clear and Dr. Severance has a deep understanding of Python, which made it easier for me to understand.

It's a very helpful course for people with no programming background. Everything was very well explained. I wish this professor was teaching my programming courses when I attended U of M.
