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.

This class was a perfect beginner introduction to python. The instruction videos make sense and fully explore each aspect of the lesson. The coding assignments are straight forward and provide multiple avenues for requesting help if needed. I highly recommend this class.

It was a really helpful course for me . It not only cleared my doubts regarding programming and its objectives , but , It also improved my programming skills and my knowledge of python . Regular Quizes and Assignments helped me a lot in improving my coding skills too .

One of the best course for a beginner. This course teaches you python in the most simplest way and Dr.Charles Severance is the finest teacher I have ever had. If you are a beginner then this course is for you. Go ahead and you will develop a deep interest in programming.

It's really great experience to take part in this class, which is exactly as it said, "for everybody". This is my first time getting to know Python, but it's more interesting than I think before. Professor Charles makes this course full of fun. I love his teaching style.

Exemplary content for beginners and for those who want to get precise and to the point knowledge about Python.... A big thanks to Prof. 'Chuck' and his interesting approach towards the subject , which enabled me to cling onto Coding , something I was hesitating to learn.

I have not programmed in years and was rusty to say the least. I found this course well paced, course materials were very helpful and the corresponding book explained things in a clear concise manner. I would suggest this course to anyone who was looking to learn Python.

Excellent course for beginners. Instructor Mr. Severence was very precise and in depth while explaining clearly all the concepts. I would definitely recommend this course to every new comer as it gives you some insights into programming while also making it fun to learn.

I have taken other Coursera courses and I must say I am impressed with the structure of this Python course. I really enjoy that you can work at your own pace and the lectures are structured in a great way that allows for understanding nuances of the programming language.

Fast pace and to the point for learning what you need about Python to get into data analysis and tool building right away. Instructor is clearly spoken, engaging, a tad silly in a nice way and will geek out about all aspects pf python, computer science and your success.

one of the better courses to be found. Clear explanation, gradual building of skills, interesting background information and interviews, great starter course for beginners, but also great for skilled persons to learn a new programming language and review basic concepts.

I learnt a lot from this course. One of the things that I appreciate the most from Coursera is that the Deadline system, which help me push myself coding all the time before due date.

Also the professor and all the mentors are all so nice for teaching and solving problem.

It was my first internet course ever, so I was a bit unsure as to what it might be. It was great, educative, and the professor made the lectures fun. The inability to talk and ask questions to the professor is a challenge but at the same time a great learning experience.

I always believe fundamentals are very important to anything. Coursera designed this course in such a splendid way. I recommend this course for all who are eager to learn programming language. Thank you coursera and other guys for providing beautiful platform to learn.

Very good and entertaining lessons to start with Python.

Also highly recommended for people that have no prior experience with programming.

This course is much better structured with its tasks, assignments and lessons than a lot of other (very confusing) coursera courses.

Love this course. Was previously using only Codeacademy (which is a great program also), however, as a "first time programmer" I found the basics very difficult to understand. This is really rounding out my understanding and I love your vision for accessible education.

The course was a great start to learning Python. I went in with a little bit of programming knowledge, but this course really helped my understand the basics of syntax structure and understanding the basics of more complex functions. The course was also well structured.

For someone who has no programming experience, this course was great not just because I was able to repeat lectures, but because I was able to slow down and review the details I felt more confident. I am DEFINITELY NOT a programmer just yet, but this was a great start.
