Extremely basic but Dr. Chuck is so interesting that you never get bored. You can pass the course in a few days with minimum or even no programming knowledge. It's a good starting point for beginners.

Love this course! It's easy to follow and there a little jokes here and there that make it interesting. I have some experience with Python so it was a lot of review but it was still interesting!

Excellent course, very well organized and explained. I had basic previous training in C++ in the Engineering grad but even for a student with no background I believe it would be easy to pick up.

Excellent way to start understanding the core concepts and syntax of Python. Doesn't delve too deeply into anything advanced, and is a perfect way to see if you'd be interested in further study.

This class was awesome, I have no idea programming and it was always a

threatening issue to me. Dr Chuck is a great teacher who knows how to make the students feel confident starting programming

Great course, step-by-step learning. Content is easy to understand and well explained. Videos provide further explanation, if required. If you want to learn Python by yourself, get enrolled now!

Great teacher. Exercises are useful enough to understand and they hold real value (even when they are a basic form). Good start for the 5-course specialization, looking forward to the next one.

I really enjoyed this course, and found that the progression was paced perfectly. The last exercises are hard, but achievable in light of the more basic examples that are very clearly explained

Se explican los temas de una muy buena manera, me gusta que cuente con subtitulos para las personas que hablamos otro idioma, y la parte de los ejercicios me parecio muy interesante y educativa

Charles is really good at explaining Programming with basic examples related to our day-to-day lives. I really loved it when Charles compared Python to a dog and how a dog responds to keywords.

I was fascinated with the proffesor. He really wants every student in his class to learn, and explains so clear and concise. This is one of the best classes that I have taken in Coursera. 10/10

This course is an excellent option, but I must say that it will not give you all. It just gives you the simplest things, but for the assignments you need to study and look for more information.

Charles Severance is awesome instructor and the tests were really creative. I am thrilled to learn Python but have lots of questions to be answered. Looking forward to complete the full course.

Muy entretenido y la plataforma externa para los ejercicios ayuda mucho. Como recomendación: si buscas introducirte de cero a la programación, quizá el ritmo de este curso sea demasiado rápido.

I started out feeling highly intimidated by Python. The instructor lets you know you can understand this programming language and if you just trust it, by giving it a chance, you will love it.

It was excellent, I have no doubt this course helped a lot of people to start building programs in Python.

In my personal experience it gave me a lot of tools to get better grades in my career.
