A well-presented course on the basics of Python and programming, interspersed with interviews with some of the people who drove the development and use of Python. The office hours videos were also fun, because it showed others also taking the same course.

Loved every moment of this course. It was simple and easy to grasp the concepts. Dr. Chuck's pedagogy is simply brilliant. Mind you this course only teaches you fundamentals and to become an expert in the concepts practice, practice and practice everyday.

Very useful, informative, and fun. While most courses are all that I described this one in particular is very digestible even for numbskulls like me. If understood some of programming python through this course then this would be a breeze for anyone else.

Really good course for beginners, they explain everything in detail. There are weekly quizzes and assignments which put your new knowledge to test, but the class crew is active in the forum and help if there is any problem with the programs of the coding.

Trust me Dr.Chuck is an excellent professor and the way he taught us the basics, no one could ever do. With some amazing techniques, quiz & assignments, you'll be satisfied with each and every chapter. This is short and full of content. Thankyou Dr.Chuck.

Dr Severance makes the lesson fun, and he goes through the bother of simplifying the concepts to make it understandable. Highly recommended if you have no prior experience in programming or if you are looking for a quick refresher/ introduction to python!

It is my first course on coursera and i am very happy to complete it. its a starting of learning and i hope with the support of coursera i will learn a lot of thing in future. Its a very good course and everyone should try this, the instructor is awesome.

Great course!This was my first course on Coursera and the first one in programming after quite a big break. It turned out to be very fun and comprehensive, really boosts your confidence and motivates you to move further. Indeed programming for everyone :)

I AM VERY HAPPY TO COMPLETE THIS COURSE PROVIDED TO ME BHY COURSERA .

A LOT OF NEW THING I FOUND HERE WHICH CLEAR MY CONCEPT AND PERCEPTION ABOUT PYTHON AS A LANGUAGE .

I WOULD LIKE TO THANKS ALL COURSERA TEAM FOR CREATING SUCH A WONDERFUL COURSE .

THANK YOU

This course is in easy English. I love the way charles sir taught, with some fillers like bonus videos i.e.. interviews which really motivated me to learn more. He knows how to deal with an absolute beginner.This boast my confidence in python programming.

Excellent Teaching brilliant instructor although i felt if worked solutions to the assignments or if similar questions with answers were to be provided it would have been much easier. The resources provided are extremely useful while doing the assignment.

This is the second best MOOC I have ever completed (the best was https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn, because it taught me how to learn). This course is short, engaging, and most importantly, thoroughly explains the basics of programming.

I had been struggling and trying to find a way to self-learn Python for months until I came across this course, and in a week I saw light at the end of the tunnel. Charles Severance explains everything in a clear and simple way, and ihe even makes it fun.

Very accessible primer on python - even good to work your way through quickly if you already have other programming experience and want the basics of the syntax to come easily. Learned some other interesting tidbits along the way, too. Highly recommended!

Fantastic introduction into programming. No early jumping into arrays but rather how to structure code properly. Well designed curriculum where old exercises are used again and amended to grow with the skill set of the learner. Very entertaining lecturer.

Dr. Severence is highly gifted as a teacher. To make a complex world of programming easy to understand for the likes of me, it takes one that is thoroughly proficient in the subject and dedicated to teaching. I will continue these courses. Thank you, doc!

I have taken this course before. It is my third challenge.

I could pass all the assignments now.

I feel like I get something from this course and I really appreciate all the Coursera staffs and Dr.chuck for helping me to pass this course.

thank you

Excellent course. Have lot of examples and the clases are very clear. The book that is given with the course explain in detail the topics of every week and add additional details.

The forum is also an excelent tool to debate and learn from and with others.

Great course. I had previous knowledge of Python, so I found it a bit slow at times, but I can't fault the course for that. I expect anyone seeing this stuff for the first time (especially if they aren't very math oriented) will appreciate the slower pace

Well built, seriously oriented for someone who never had any contact with programming before.

Perhaps, some more advanced optional assignments could be added for those who know how to write code, but in different languages, at beginner's level.

GREAT WORK!

Great for beginners and advanced! If you have prior programming experience, you will breeze through, but do not skip any video because you'll learn Python syntax and semantics. I recommend going to the PY4E course website to do extra exercises. Have fun!

It is a great course for absolute beginners. Dr. Charles Severance's teaching style is excellent. Everything is broken down in a simple form, making it easy to understand. Extremely helpful for rapidly and effectively learning the fundamentals of Python.

This is the just beginning of my computer stuff journey. I think I can do more and gain more in the next step. I love the teaching style of Dr. Severance. I hope I can meet him in person in the future. I love Pyhton and so much honor to be a Pythonistas.

I wish I had teachers like Dr. Chuck when I was in University. Funny, engaging, passionate and rich in knowledge. Makes a difficult topic (learn to programming) something aproachable and somewhat easy. Very good introduction lesson to python programming.

Actually this is really what was promised by Coursera. There is a basic information and some light code tasks for beginners who encounter Python for the first time ever. I was so excited about this course as it has the general introduction to Python! 5/5
