Clear, precise, and unintimidating. Dr. Chuck breaks down fundamental programming concepts very well and in layperson's terms. This course was a great refresher for me, as I put down my Javascript hat last year and needed to brush up on these core coding fundamentals. Would recommend this class to anyone who is interested in beginning their coding journey via Python.

Yeah!!! This is the first course that I finally complete at coursera (out of the 10 - 15 that I tried and never finished). This is a really nice course for Python introduction mainly because of Dr. Chuck. I never felt bored and what Dr. Chuck managed was to spark my curiosity to learn more!

If you tried to learn programming but failed, this is the course you MUST do!

I love the professor, he is humorous and makes language fun. You know at beginning I don't like program at all and this is my first programming lesson. Thanks to the lesson, it makes me be interested in programming. And the lesson is not very difficult, every can learn about it, and the practice is practical. At last, thank you so much for your effort on this lesson!

Great introductory course. It's really easy to follow along and will require you something between 7 - 12 hours in total to complete, including lectures and excercises. Dr. Charles Severance is a great teacher and knows how to explain everything in a really easy way so anyone can understand. Thanks so much to him, Coursera and University of Michigan for this course.

It's really a good course for the beginners who don't have any Idea about Python. Before joining this course I had no idea about how to program with Python, But this course really helped me a lot to gain the knowledge about Python. My special gratitude to University of Michigan & Mr. Charles Russel Severance for helping me to begin my Python learning in a proper way

An excillent course designed for people wit zero experience about programming. Takes a good approach on building a programming mindset and generates a programming thinking ability. Covers topics such as expressions, loops , functions, etc. in a very beginner friendly way making it best for someone taking into world of programming with python as their first language.

For the first time, I have taken a course online. It has been a wonderful experience for me. This course is very suitable for a person who does not know anything about python. I learned all the things and the explanation provided was good. Charles Severance explains every concept in a simple way with good examples. I would like to do more courses here.

Thank you!

"Programming for Everybody" is highly recommended for individuals with little to no programming experience who want to learn Python from scratch and start their journey into the programming world. The course content, combined with the University of Michigan's reputation, makes it a compelling choice for beginners looking to build a strong foundation in programming.

The course syllabus spreads the material to learn over 7 weeks. This is way too much for so little information to learn. 1-3 weeks would be more appropriate. This is not too much of a problem, because in an online course you can go at your own pace. But if you go at the pace suggested by the syllabus, you'll lose a lot of time. Other than that, an excellent course.

Excelente curso para iniciarse en Python. Aplaudo que es accesible no solo para personas con conocimientos previos de ingeniería y/o computación, sino para todo quien quiera aprender. Muy buen profesor es el Sr. Severance, y aplaudo su esfuerzo para llevar este conocimiento a tantas personas como puede. Estoy ansioso de continuar con el resto de la especialización.

hei , widasun here from Sri Lanka. This is very very interesting course i had met ever. Dr.Chuck thank you for conducting this course. actually he is teach with super skills. i like it. because there are no boring time to me.Thank you coursera and COL. I hope to do other courses in MOOC. Thank you very much. i learn python basic thinks. widasun.sona@gmail.com

I took this course 12 years removed from college and without having used programming skills at all in my work. I have to say that it has been a very pleasant surprise. The course is very well taught and even for non-programmers like me it offers a very easy-going and efficient learning experience. Kudos to Dr. Chuck and the rest of the team that made this possible.

I took this course back in 2015 with pretty much zero understanding of python and computer programming. Five years later, I have changed my career from core finance to quantitative finance requiring significant programming skills. This course was where this all started. Excellent introduction to Python and computer programming in general. Thank you Professor Chuck.

Was an amazing experience learning this course. I must say that everyone should learn programming. I was not sure initially when I took the course, but when I started learning the course, I got more understanding. I used to get stuck at some exercise, but Dr. Chuck instructed very easily for every class, which made me learn more from the course. Thanks, Professor.

Absolutely outstanding course. Really liked the lectures, the examples, and the exercises. It's been much easier to learn Python through this course than simply reading a book and doing exercises. Charles Severance's explanations really make the language much more understandable. Really liked the bonus material as well - especially the material on Guido Van Rossum.

Thanks for the opportunity for learning from one of the best teachers of one of the best universities of the world. The materials of the course are well suited for beginner programmers and great. Also I would like to suggest to make several mini quizzes regarding the topics if the lectures instead of having big ones. I think it can be helpful for beginner students.

This is a really interesting, student friendly and at the same time challenging course. Dr. Chuck is very intriguing and makes it fun for continuing with the course. The course appears to be a well planned one as well. I am starting to build a good sense of programming after taking up the course and I am feeling more confident about the technicality in programming.

This is pretty much fantastic courses of python for non computer-bases person like me to get entrance to coding, the host is energetic, homor and knowlegable guy! you did a great job that definitely would have great influence in IT training. the tutoring methodology is great, no boring, tutoring key points combined with practises, easygoing! fantastic experience!

This course is a great introduction to Python. If you have a little experience, the first couple of weeks are pretty easy. I didn't run into any significant trouble until week 7 (the final week), and even then it wasn't too bad. I wouldn't suggest if you have previous programmiing experience but if you are brand new to programming than this is the course for you!

I read the others avaliations of this course, so I think that's is a nice course to initiate in Python. Sometimes, I agree it's a slow but if you have never seen any program language or been comfortable in kind of computer's language it's a good starting do this course. Otherwise, you can read the open book and take the advanced courses in this integrated program.

This course is perfect for students who are already familiar with any programming language, but if someone's totally new to programming then they might have little problem while understanding the stuff, because newbies will not understand why we are storing values or things like that.

Otherwise this is best explained course with clear voice and perfect explanation.

Great class! Dr. Charles Severance puts across the syllabus in the most easily understandable language with examples that a novice can literally picture happening. The bonus videos along with the interview videos are added information that bring to light areas that get missed out otherwise. Overall great course. Would recommend it to those looking to learn Python.

It is a very good introductory course to Python programming focused on people with minimum or no computer programming background at all. It gives you a push start to engage into Python programming and learn to love coding in Python. The course instructor is amazing! The material and the slides/videos are well prepared and paced at an adequate level for a beginner.

Excellent class! I recommend it to anyone trying to learn programming. Dr. Chuck is a wonderful teacher. The class progresses at a nice comfortable pace. His lectures and code examples are thorough and informative. He takes the mystery out of programming and gives you the tools to make you feel like learning to code is attainable. Thank you Dr. Chuck and Coursera!

The class was really amazing. I'm a health professional and I had never been taught programming language or even the basic of computation while I was an undegrad student. This course is recommended for anyone who wants to get started in learning about programming. The lecturer is super cool and really makes the python programming language is really for everybody.
