Very good introduction to basic programming. Very easy for beginners in python who have already some programming background - but still extremely useful to quickly and efficiently learn python basics.

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.

A truly understandable course for a python starter. Fairly understandable content with a experienced instructor. Would be better if more practising materials can be given.

Professor Severance is very clear when he explains concepts. Learning python seems funny and not so difficult, especially if you know other programming language such as C.

It was a very good experience to study the course from coursera.

Coursera has also helped my friends in their particular courses.

Thank you so much.

We love you 3000.........

This course kept me going for the full 7 weeks which in the past has been very difficult for me to keep going till the end! Hopefully, just the beginning of python for me!

I was already well into lessons on another platform, but Prof. Severence does a great job of explaining "why" something works instead of just the syntax required to do it.

The Lecturer was very clear about the topic and very easy to follow. The course materials are also very easy to understand with little or no prior knowledge of programming

Easy to follow and understand key programming concepts. Highly recommend this course for those without any knowledge on programming, or those joining the Python community!

If you have tried to learn programming before but the material was too confusing, please try Dr. Chuck before you give up - he will have you coding Python with confidence!

Great beginning course for anyone new to programming. If you've programmed before, you can finish the course in under a week. I'm excited to enroll in the follow-up course

it was really helpful for me as i was a new guy to this language and all that i want to say about this course is that it gave me an overview for building logic in python.
