A good introduction course to programming in general. Dr. Chuck clearly explains things that I've never been able to grasp from books. I love the Computing Conversation videos, watching the inventors of Python and Arduino inspires anyone watching to create fun things to play around with or something more useful. I often come back to these videos for inspiration

Wonderful introductory course for Python and computer science in general. My son is a freshman just getting started in computer science. I've strongly recommended that he take the intro Python course and further on if he is interested. He is attempted to get it added as an area of study in the university and by groups within the university. Very well done!!

What a great course! I started this course knowing absolutely nothing about Python. I'm now able to make very basic programmes and this course has inspired me to conitnue learning about coding.

The lecturer was absolutely fantastic. He explains things very well and goes through the material bit by bit.

I would definitely recommend this course to other beginners.

print("Satisfied"). The greatest aspect of this course lies in its ability to expound on the theoretical nature of the programming language at a level that beginners can understand. This is not a class that relies on parroting, but one that places the responsibility of critical and logical thought to the students as a necessary part of the learning experience.

This is a very important step as a beginner in python programming. The instructor actually made the course so much interesting by relating many concepts to the things that we are already familiar with. The visual illustration during his presentation are of great importance to get the big of a lesson, and were never boring. I wish to see in python3 programming.

I have some limited experience in object oriented programming so this course was too bad. Each of the assignment become progressively harder as the knowledge is built up upon with each week. Overall great concepts that are being displayed with application for each. I would recommend this course. I'm looking forward to taking all the classes in this series.

I am just spellbound seeing the way Mr. Severence teaches. He is just fabulous. You won't get during the course for a single second. Just because of him I was able to complete the 7 weeks course in less than 24 hours. I have become a huge fan of Mr. Severence. Talking about the course, this course will definitely give you a head start towards learning Python.

A great course! With the videos and materials provided, it is not difficult for a man who know nothing about programming to get started with Python. So far, I can write a little program and this is so inspiring. In the coming days, I will take part in the following courses. Hope there would be one day that I can be an experienced girl programmer. Thanks a lot!

I highly recommend this course for beginning python learners. I have attended other beginning python classes. ( Honestly, I repeated to quit and start many times..)

And compare to other courses, this course gives definitely more organized information, and Dr. Chuck explains really well and easy(!!) for beginner. So you wouldn't lose your interest easily. :)

Best class ever! Dr Chuck is an excellent professional and mainly when you think about Doctors teacher for programing , not always they are very dynamic, interactive and good to give examples in an easy way to make you understand complex topics.

He is awesome, I wish more teachers were great like him on the Plantform!

Well done and look forward to next module!

until I started this course I knew very little about python, but now I have developed Interest in this programming language and as Dr.charles said I want to become a Pythonista as soon as possible. Now that I have developed an interest in python I will start the python data structure course and further will use this for developing my Machine learning project.

I think the course achieves what the title says. It is for everyone. Having some experience with other languages (a bit of java, a lot of R and some Matlab), this course was perfect to get to know the syntaxis an similarities with those other languages.

The teacher I think is perfect. He is ver clear and every lesson is very well put together.

Two thumb way up!

Awesome course! never thought i'd finish a programming class. Most of them are boring and lose me after a few lectures with the overloaded info and codes. But this one is so interesting. Love the way prof kept me interesting throughout. Easy-to-follow, hands-on codes, quiz, and homework really helped to learn.

Highly recommended, and would love to continue :)

The Course is as described as everyone can easily understand the topics that were discussed. The course layout was nicely done and the pacing of the quizzes and assignments made it possible for each student to fully understand and grasp each topic. The instructor speaks and explains the topics clearly. You will definitely follow his course onto the next one.

This course has helped me learn the fundamentals of the python in the best way. Now I am able to solve coding problems related to Conditional statements and loops. And the Bonus videos in the course like office hours encouraged me to learn more and also I had reviewed the code of my peers and able to learn from them. Thanks to tutor , this was quite helpful.

The perfect course for anyone looking for an fun, easy-to-understand introduction or refresher in Python or programming in general. Dr. Charles Severance makes everything fun with his casual, down-to-earth style. The assignments and quizzes are easy enough to build confidence and just challenging enough to build the understanding and skill needed to program.

this excellent course leads me to the Python world and i want to say thanks to professor chunk, you are a nice and cool guy with a younger soul. and i hope i could meet you in your next office hours when you are going to Shanghai. By the way i also am a H.P fan and i think you belong to Gryffindor rather than Slytherin, well just kidding and thank u doctor!

Even though I had taken other Python Basics courses, this is the most didactic one. Dr. Charles makes it so easy and simple to understand and even makes use of a little of humor. Personally, I also liked how he brings the students closer to how a computer thinks and how Python logic works through a series of analogies. I'm very glad I had chosen this course.

Excellent introduction into the world of coding for someone who does not have any prior knowledge. The course has set the base and has given me the encouragement and inspiration to explore further and to take on more challenging topics.

Dr. Chuck has painstakingly broken down the concepts to a level where it can be understood very well by a novice.

Thank you!

I was a very nice course, Dr chuck Engages you in class very well. This course teaches you not only very basics of Python But you will know many other programming stuffs as well Say it as good practices of programming .

I completed this course from Coursera But I will go to the site py4e.com to get a advanced knowledge of python.

Once again Thanks Dr. Chuck,

Knowing the programming language 'C' beforehand, I've learnt that there are a diverse ways in which one can command a computer. And one important thing I've learnt from this is that teaching could be as pleasurable as learning. Anyone with no prior knowledge in programming and willing to get started with the art can definitely opt for this course. Thank you.

This is an amazing initiative form the University of Michigan and Prof Charles Severance in order to provide such an interactive course through the platform of Coursera. Python is an essential computer language which has its impact in various branches of information technology. To teach such an important language so interactively is truly a commendable job !

This was a great introduction to python. I have worked in the past as a programmer with COBOL, Java and C#. I am hoping to stick with this python path to be able to continue in the field. The teacher gives clear explanations that remind me of old school flowchart techniques and structured programming that I first so many decades ago. Great explanations.

I love how the professor explained every bit in the simplest possible way. This course is designed in a way that a person with zero programming knowledge can understand and learn. The videos(lectures) are not flooded with information like most of the courses do. Most importantly, even the tiniest concept that is used for programming is explained very well.

The structure of the class is very ingenious. This has made it easier for me to keep track of my learning progress. Professor taught the issues very clearly and easily. The quizs and assignments are very clear and helpful in helping me to systematize the knowledge I have learned.

Thanks again to Coursera and the University of Michigan for such a good course.
