I have a background in music education, and wanted to dive into my husband's world so I took this course. It has really helped me to think more like my husband. I have started to communicate with him about his work instead of just listening intently and trying to understand on my own. I expect the other courses to continue helping me move into his world so I can share in his passion.

This is one of the best programming courses. Prof. Dr. Charles Severance is simplifying all the Python programming way as it should be for learners with no experience or background to programming.Overall, the course presented in an excellent way to match its title "Getting Started with Python"/ "Python for Everybody"print ('Thanks to Coursera')

Super easy and broken down to the basics for absolute beginners to programming. But if you're someone like me who's already had some basic knowledge about how programs and programming works it's going to be way easier for you and actually it might feel going a bit too slow at time. Keeping in mind that this was made for absolute new-comers, it's all understandable and works fabulous.

I am glad that to have come across this course especially because I am from a non-programming background. The instructor makes it very easy for students with no programming language to understand the concepts of Python. Considering that most the jobs today require some degree of know-how on data analytics tools, languages and software, this course is the perfect start to Journey ahead.

Its a good course having simple teaching style. i found a new Teaching style in here. If any mistake is in the code, tutor will always says its not you are not suitable for programming, it is python is lost. I really appreciate that sentence, because that is more encourage students like me. Thanks to Coursera and University of Michigan for giving me this amazing tutor and this course.

I successfully completed the course "Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python)" by Charles Russell Severance, and it was an incredible learning experience. Charles's explanations were clear and easy to understand. The course structure was well-organized, and the exercises helped reinforce my knowledge. I highly recommend this course for beginners looking to learn Python.

"This is the first time I have attended a class in this format and wondered how effective it would be. It was very effective and therefore I would definitely be interested in attending other classes in the same format. The instructor was very knowlegeable and provided a wealth of information about the current version, especially since the last version I used was several releases ago."

This is course is really good and useful as well as the instructor who has amazing way of explaining and introducing new concepts and material of science. I also like the bonus section very much with its interviews videos as well as the brilliant quizzes that really focus on the important points. I am really excited to complete the remaining courses. Thank You, University of Michigan!

I learned a lot from this course and Dr.Chuck is a great instructor, and I will take the new course and thanks to you for this certification from Coursera and the UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, I really enjoyed learning this course .. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to build programming skill using python, and from Egypt: God bless you Dr chuck, best instructor ever.

yours sincerely.

This course is really well organised for beginners to learn and have basic understanding of python and how actually computer works and how a set of statements perform specific work and gives us desired output.Prof. has put in a lot of effort to make this course very interactive for us.Thanks for developing this course for us.I would suggest everyone who's beginner to take this course.

This is a very basic course. Everyone can understand the concepts well. I have already know the programming concepts and proficiency in C++. But the amazing thing is that my high school going son has studied this and even he can understand the concepts of programming. Now he is a position to write small programs. We are moving to the second course in this section. Thank you very much

I'm super happy that I found this course as the first course I chose to learn programming, before this course, I just believe that programming is way too hard for a girl like me to understand.

Professor Severance really the kind of teacher who can ease your mind and teach you some amazing skills at the same time, the way he explains python really amusing and easy to understand.

Thanks.

This is a very helpful course for beginners of Python. The instructor did a good job organizing the contents and explaining the concepts and code structure. I have some experience with some other programming language so the content is quite familiar, since there is lots of overlaps. However, I think people without any programming experience won't have any problem following the course.

The course was very complete for the themes it went through. Though, I found it very repetitive at some point but I do not think this is big of an issue as some might find it helpful. The last thing I would add is to give more exercises. The lessons are thorough but we would need more exercises to apply what we have learnt.

Thank you very much for the past 7 weeks,

I am grateful to Prof. Charles Russell Severance. He starts from grassroot of programming and covers each topic with so simple manner it's is really easy to follow and understand every topic . I had very little amount of understanding about try and except. It just got cleared. Thanks to Coursera and Prof. Charles. Such a grate learning session it was. I enjoyed it throughout. Thanks.

I had no clue about how python would look and feel like even though I had basic C++ experience. I would say the course is designed so well and especially Prof. Dr. Chuk explains so calmly that I could easily understand and digest it. Thank you for such a wonderful course and an instructor for introducing me to Python in such a wonderful way. A memorable introduction to Python for me.

The instructor Dr. Charles Severance is really amazing he keeps you connected and learning. The course is very interesting and you will learn a lot. About 4 weeks ago I didnt know anything about python and now I have proudly completed the course learning many new things and can't wait to use my skills further and pass on the knowledge.

Thankyou Coursera

Thankyou Dr.Charles Severance

The course was designed perfectly for a person who is unfamiliar with any kind of programming language. The instructor has put a great effort into making things easy. With a little effort, one can create his base for python. Watch all the lectures, read chapters from the book provided, and you are good to go. Overall, the course is exciting. You will not get bored during this course.

On completing this course you will have a basic idea on python language. I really enjoyed taking this course. The in-between assignments will test your understanding and helps you to get the better knowledge about the language.The quizzes which are simple yet gives more fun.If you are interested in learning python language then complete this course for getting a good basic knowledge.

This course is great!!! It will teach you the beginning of python syntax but more importantly it gives you a really good foundational understanding of the concepts behind the code you are writing. Like any new language there are moments when you get stuck and it is frustrating however Professor Severance's videos and the book actually make those moments quite navigable and rewarding.

Dr. Chuck's way of teaching is always wonderful. This is a second course i have taken for Dr. Chuck and i am planning to take all the courses for Python specialization. This course is very helpful for the people who want to learn Python programming as it contains very basics of programming and designed in such a way that anyone can learn it without having any programming background.

Everything was good, but as seen in the forum, more explanation around how to deal with "None" with respect to the minimum could have been included. Additionally, I think there have been modifications and the final assignment has changed. Specifically on the latter, the last assignment no longer ask to compute an average but rather a maximum and minimum. Really good class overall.

This course is very interesting and very helpful.

Though most of points I've already known, but I can always learn something new from the instruction of Professor.

I am grateful for the financial aid Coursera provided.

And thank you so much, Coursera, University of Michigan, and the team of Professor Charles Russell Severance. I am looking forward to have a next session of learning.

I actually knew python before taking this course. For employment purposes I'm getting some certificates on subjects I already know (but don't have any certifications or experience to show) on coursera at the moment. My emphasis is on Data Science and I found this course quite helpful to refresh my python knowledge. I would definitely also be suitable to learn python from the start.

my name is zaid. it was really an amazing course. i had no idea that 'Dr. CHUCK' would explain things so nicely. although i had few hiccups in graded assignments but it was overall fun. i forgot programming after my BTech from IIT (several years back). But now i again feel very enthusiastic and eager to do more and more programming. thanks a lot coursera and thanks a lot Dr. Chuck.
