I really liked the style of professor Chuck, not a second of his talk is boring or irrelevant. I would suggest adding at the very beginning some very basics, like (non-)importance of using spaces in Py, use of colon and brackets. And also, the perspectives of working with Python - what is it that we will use it to create!

This is a great course and it's truly a program for EVERYBODY.I And Dr.Chuck is very knowledgeable and very humorous in class style. This course provides a lot of useful learning materials to make this course easier to learn and operate. I think I would highly recommend this course to my friends who want to learn Python.

I am a beginner with no degree in IT whatever and yet I enjoyed very much the course as Dr Chuck made it possible for me to undestand it as he has very good explanatory skills and the computing conversations were really amazing because through them, I realized even more things. I would strongly recommend it to everyone!

This is a very interesting course and I recommend it for begginers. I'm a 40y old mechanical engineer and I studied Q-Basic and C++ 20 years ago at university and the basis of programmation was very useful for this course. I think that anybody that haven't seen python could take the course with a bit of practice in Atom.

I have a background with programming in MATLAB, but obviously, Python differs from that, so I wanted to leave a review to express how well Professor Severance describes the concepts I already knew, and how well he was able to explain why things are a certain way in the Python language. Looking forward to the next course!

Good starter course for computer programming. For those who have some programming experience, this course is easy to refresh some programming basics; For those who don't have programming experience, this course is a good starter course as it is built to teach the content in a smooth and approachable way., easy to follow.

I really liked the way the professor had taught us. I was beginner to coding before the start of this course. Few of my friends had scared me that coding is the most difficult of all. But, during the period of this course I haven't felt scared at all but additionally I was so excited to complete the whole specialization.

Wonderful, I am getting to do this thru the grant from Minnesota Economic development. Easy to understand and work with. I guess the only thing that would be nice (that I have gotten use to thru udemy courses) is a optional followup video on the assignment that just walks thru why everything works the way it should.

This course is Awesome, it helped me to explore more and also the assignments are good and more over this course also gives u the industry explosure , thanks for giving oppurnity to learn thank you coursera and also thank you to my lovely python instructor, i will meet u one day in real life and i will take your blessing

A very well arranged, well taught and well assessed course about basics of Programming with python. tutor teaches it with ease and assignments test your knowledge of course material. At the end of this course, you will have a perfect basic knowledge about python programming and you will be eager to start the next course.

Excellent course for a beginner with absolutely no background in computer programming languages or coding in general. This course has really given me the confidence to go for more advanced level of Python. I absolutely loved the video sessions by the instructor. It felt like i'm physically attending his class. Thank you.

This course is an excellent resource for true beginners. Charles Severance has this amazing way to explain things that helped make the shift from thinking that computers are super-smart and I am just not smart enough to understand them. After this course I think that I am smart and computers are dumb. Highly recommended!

This course is an absolute must for everyone wishing to get a good start in programming. Everything: from the quality of materials to the charm of Mr. Severance makes you want to return to the course and view another lecture, learn something new or succesfully complete another assignment.

No, literally, that is supercool!

This (along with course 2) is THE beginners course on Python anywhere. This course is really well structured, and Dr. Chuck has an amazing style of teaching. The assignments are good. Also, consider watching the "bonus" videos for an insight on how everything we see today - Python, Arduino and even Coursera! came to be!

First of all I want to thank coursera for making this wonderful course available to all of us who wanted to learn python basics . I would also like to thank Charles Severance and his team for their time and handwork that they put into this course . Truly they did a very nice work . Keep it going . Keep helping people .

A very well taught intro to python and programming. I am a relatively experienced programmer in other languages, and am trying to get better with python with the python specialization. I found this course to be well taught and accessible. A bit too easy for someone with experience, however still great to pick up syntax.

Great first step to start of with introduction with a new language which for non-technical people like myself used to feel like rocket science. The instructor Dr. Charles is brilliant and there isnt a false moment in his teaching. It felt like taking one on one lectures. Looking forward to completing the specialization.

This course starts out with the real basics which makes it approachable for someone new to programming. If you already have experience programming, you can move through the material in a matter of hours - so it becomes a good refresher but doesn't consume too much of your time. Nice job! Keep up the quality courses!!

Great course and interesting materials and assignments. But I have previous skills in other programming languages , so some tasks were not so hard to pass. Professor is great in teaching and explaining important and complex concepts in easy and funny way. I will recommend this course to beginners and intermediate users.

This is hands down best class I have taken through coursera. So well thought out. Prof does a great job presenting the materials in an order that allows the learner to build a start to finish understanding of the material that leaves you with knowledge that can be applied not just memorization of a programming language.

Good intro to Python. And to programming in general.

One problem is that quizzes lock after you complete the course. Obviously, changing results after the end of the course is undesirable, but the ability to look through tests at at later date would be nice. I think this is a Coursera problem though, not course-specific.

Great course for anyone who is new to computer programming and wants to learn Python. This course covers Python 2.XX version which is good. For folks who already know other programming languages; you might want to consider other advanced Python courses or opt for advanced Python courses by Prof. Severance. Great Teacher

Thank you for the course, it was very informative and the teaching methods were very understandable and easy to handle, although I had no prior experience in programming so i have literally started from scratch, but I found myself able to deal with the assignments and understanding the different topics of the language!

Amazing course...Learnt the basics of python programming. The instructor seemed to have good experience in programming field and had vast knowledge of programming. His teaching was great.. I love the way he taught and explained the concepts which are somewhat difficult to grasp at first with so ease and great examples.

Dear my beloved instructors,

My name is Islam, I'm from Egypt. I'd really want to thank you so much towards your grate efforts. I've learnt a lot from your lectures, it was really effective and it helped me so much. I wish I could meet you soon and teach me more. Thanks a lot.

sincerely,

Islam Hany
