This course is really suitable for a programming rookie. I love the teaching style of the professor,clear and easy to understand and full of natural humor, which made the learning process increasingly attractive and prompt me to learn more and further. Thanks very much for the terrific course and this would be a great start of my program learning. :D

Instructor gives a thorough overview of not only Python but how computers function and why programming is needed in the first place. Explains the granular details of each line of code, making this course truly suited for someone with zero background in programming. It's well designed not only to teach but also to pique curiosity and inspire learning.

Very well organised introduction for Python. For newbies, I feel this is the best course to understand Programming. Dr. Charles Severance really knows how to teach online and this course is more of fun. Through out the course, it was like one of my experienced friends teaching me. Quizzes and Assignments were great and helps in building the concepts.

Programming for Everybody (Python) is a great course every learners must do it. I sincerely thank all the teaching staffs from coursera community who helped me out and gave me ideas when i got struggle in code and when i was struck in the middle of course. I thank you for your immediate support, help and guidance to complete this course successfully.

Great course! Charles is a great teacher, the lectures were organized really well - never too hard, always explaining the principles behind every thing we do. I think the assignments were also very good, and really had me practising the things I just learned. Would recommend to anybody who's interested in programming and is just beginning to learn :)

It was a good experience taking the course. In my case I already had knowledge in programming logic; however, I was able to review some topics that I did not master very well, such as exception handling. The content was well selected and the quality of the course is very good, especially for those who are going to see programming for the first time.

I am a graduate student doing a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, so I do have a slight back ground on coding. I wanted to improve on my programming skills so I decided to learn Python from scratch. I could say for sure that this course covers all the background you need. I am super excited to keep learning python after this course. Highly recommended!

After learning python with professor Charles Severance every other python lesson I take in another platform never satisfies me. This course can guide a very beginner like me to python, and for me this is the most beginner-friendly way to learn Python. The professor explains the logic very well, the flow is also just right, not too fast nor too slow.

This course is an excellent course for computer programming beginner like me. I thought that computer programming is very difficult subject, which is hard to understand before taking this course. After completing this course, I understand the basics of python programming language very well. Thank you very much for creating a great course like this!

The best thing about the course was the instructor. his way of teaching was sooo good. Also the assignments were intermediate level so we could figure out the answer only if we ponder over it. I will surely be doing a follow up on this course. I didnt know the first thing about coding or programming but now i have an idea. Thank you for this course.

It is basic introduction course. No depth suitable for competitive programming. If any one knows and have experience in python should go for higher level of course. However that was great experience learning on coursera. I wish to learn more. And advanced python from the same. Finally Thank You for the Knowledge it really helps in performing better.

The instructor is fairly easy to follow along with the reading. For someone who knows and still knows very , very little if anything at all I'd say it was a somewhat of welcoming introduction. The only down side is at the later portion of the class if you have zero experience you will need to do more research than supplied in the book or the videos.

Outstanding course. Dr. Chuck is a wonderful teacher and delivers the material in an engaging and relatable way. I have taken a number of online courses on other sites and this one blew them all out of the water. I highly recommend this to those struggling to find the programming fundamentals training that are missing in so many other intro courses.

Professor Severance is a passionate and extremely likeable instructor who knows what he's doing and also has the experience to guide novices like me. This course was highly beneficial, provided sufficient studying matter and was well spread out. I learnt a lot while also thoroughly enjoying the course. Looking forward to signing up for the next one!

Difficult for a beginner, I really struggled as I know nothing about programming but the Instructor really intends for you to struggle so you actually learn it... He really knows how to teach and I'm going to take more courses with Charles Severance, I bought the book as well and its helpful. You have to study and I did and passed with a good grade.

Dr. Charles makes these modules much more interesting than I have ever seen before. I am a Masters graduate from a reputed university, which is one among top 10 in the world, but I can strongly say that Dr. Charles is something different and I would love to study forever under him.

The way he connects technology to real world is something fantastic.

I am a Structural Engineer and BIM Specialist. At some point I ended up having this need to use PYTHON either because of certain softwares could manage the data better with that language or i needed auomatize somes process, so I finally decided to take the first step into this unknown realm and there is no better way to do so than with this course.

The videos were thorough and understandable. The assignments were challenging as a refresher (I hadn't touched Python or programming in over 10 years), but simple enough to manage on my own. I have saved many notes that will be valuable for future classes, and the professor gave an excellent direction for the next steps to take to improve my skill.

I really enjoyed this course and Dr. Chuck was pretty awesome!

I recently decided that I would like to find out more about programming and Data Sciense, and I think this was a fantastic start. Thank you to Coursera, the University of Michigan and Dr. Charles Severance (you should know that the sorting hat lets us choose our house - I know you know).

First of all, I want to say thank to Prof. Charles! This class and the idea PY4E is so awesome. This course exactly for everyone (I'm kind of a novice in the beginning).

The explanation is very detailed and understandable for newbie like me! I feel programming is more interesting now xD! Strongly recommend for marketing researcher or data analysist!

Course is taught in a manner that is easy to learn. In addition to teaching Python, inspirational videos are included with the creators of Python, and raspberry pie, and students around the globe. To truly serve the mission of making the course accessible to all around the globe, the book is free to download. Highly recommend to anyone interested.

The lectures are well prepared, and the assignments are adapted to the learner, regardless of whether the learner had (or did not) any previous experience in programming. I personally used the forum only for the last assignment, and received the necessary help. I deem it safe to say that I enjoyed this course. Thank you to the Team and to Coursera.

Coming from a previous background in statistical programming (mostly self-taught) I found this course to give me a much stronger foundation in computer science behind the programming. I would and will highly recommend this course to anyone who is starting programming, trying to learn the syntax of python, or refreshing their knowledge in the field.

Dr. Chuck is incredibly engaging and makes the material approachable for people not familiar or comfortable with programming. Even though I am not completely new to programming, watching Dr. Chuck's lectures was instructive for me in learning how to communicate these types of concepts to a wide audience with varying levels of computing proficiency.

This course was completely exceptional. The video lectures by Dr.Chuck was helpful throughout the course. The assignments added to each section of the course help us improve some creative thinking and it improves our programming skills as well. Hats off to Coursera!

I will still take more courses from coursera having a fruitful experience like this.
