I loved it! Dr. Chuck is extraordinary in his explanations. A great way to start on Python programming. As a person that hasn't programmed in years it was an encouraging and educational experience :-)

Great introduction to Python and programming as a whole. Everything is broken down making it easy to understand. Had zero programming experience before and this class made it easy and fun to get into.

It is very well planned course for people who are just starting Python Programming. The assignments and quizzes are well set and it helps in evaluating ourselves how much we have learnt from the course. A very good course that I will recommend to every beginner who wants to start learning Python Programming. Thank You.

I am working as faculty in Engineering, i know java, c++, and c programming languages surprisingly i was happy while learning python supporting by my management. i am feeling happy programming in python rather than well known programming languages yet. i hope i may work on python in the future as developerin my career

I've made several attempts (over the last 20years) at learning programming languages and theyve all left me intimidated and overwhelmed. For the first time I'm gonna walk away from finishing a course and feel empowered. I am excited to see what else I could do with a computer. Thanks Charles! You made a big difference!

I love this course. This is my first course on coursera as well as 1st in programming language. This help me to enhance my skill. I enjoy learning here. If anybody fearing from coding, programming etc. you should definitely join this course. And lastly thanks all for making such helpful and informative learning course.

Very good course at breaking down the basic principles of Python programming and getting someone who has ZERO programming background started on learning a completely new language. I loved the way the videos take you through things step by step and the course resources are invaluable. Thanks for a great starter package!

This course is great! Prof. Severance will walk you through all the basic concepts and capabilities of all programming languages in a simple and understandable way, it doesn't matter if you have previous experience or not. He'll even throw in a couple scifi and Michigan jokes to make the thing more entertaining, thanks

I've done several online courses in the last years, most of them in Coursera, but Dr Chuck's teaching work have been my greatest experience, starting with Internet History, technology and security, back in 2013.

My very best regards to Dr Charles R. Severance and a great CHAPEAUX for him and his enormous work!!

Professor will start teaching you from the basic so if you want to start programming its the best first step to take also this course is free so what we want because at other places you have to pay that too you wont get such a high quality of knowledge so go for it and choose this one to get yourself into programming.

Wonderful Course ! I am so glad to get a teacher like Dr. Charles for this course! Very clear concepts explained in a way even beginners can understand! The assignments also tested the key concepts And as Dr. Chuck said , this is only half of the entire big picture and I'm taking the next course Data structures also.

this course is extremely suitable for an individual who does not know anything about python. but after i learned the course . it seems like a litter bit of easy. i commend that at the final of the course. the text should tend to more difficult so that people who learn this course can actually improve programming skill

Amazing Course. The auto grader, while a bit frustrating at times (through no fault of its own ;P), is an amazing tool that we got to use to actually test our codes on. Prof. Charles has a unique way of teaching and Ive grown fond of it. Im loving it so far and definitely wish to proceed futhur and gain more knowledge

This was an amazing journey to programming with Python for everybody, very detailed and step by step examples from Professor Mr Chuck. will definitely continue with more lessons and invite more people to follow up with the online courses.

Continue your excellent work with the same passion for sharing the knowledge!!!!!

I have to admit that Dr Chuck is one of the best lecturer's that I have come across on the Coursera platform. He takes his time to explain concepts, relates it with real world examples, cracks jokes, and gives you the VR feeling "it's like he's seated across your desk". I recommend this to anyone curious about Python.

Humorous teacher and well-organized lecture, I really enjoy when I follow the lecturer and learning python. As a student of school of Arts, I am glad that I started my first programming class and found it interesting. I would keep going on my road of programming. Thank you coursera for giving me such an amazing class!

A really great experience! Difficult and challenging, yet rewarding at the same time. The assignments are more like fun puzzles than dull homework, and the lectures are entertaining and informative. A great course that keeps you engaged and motivated to keep going even when things get tough.

Thank you, Dr. Severance!

Dr.chuk is truly amazing guy.. When he's teaching, No boring at all i feel. His body language is so good, winning students attraction to the lesson. This is a good course to selected, who don't have prior programming language. Absolutely, This is "Programming for Everybody".

Thank You so much Dr.Chuck & Coursera Team

Chuck does a great job explaining the different basic components needed to write codes and the mix of videos, multiple choice tests and practicle exercises is very ballanced. I highly recommend this class for beginners of programing languages in general or for people with some knoledge in other programming languages.

Interesting, useful, and captivating course. It helped me to get a good grasp in the "world of programming" and now I am feeling a bit more confident as I got relevant knowledge of the basics of Python.

Definitely would recommend to a friend or anyone who wants to start learning Python but has no idea how that works.

An excellent course for complete beginners who want to learn coding from scratch. Although I was already familiar with most of the concepts taught, I was never really bored due to Professor Charles Severance and his compelling nature. I believe, with enough motivation, the course can be completed in less than a week.

The course was really good. It had some of the most basic concepts of python that even a non-technical person can learn. It helped me clear my concept overall. The videos were very well made and the explanation was simple yet effective for the learner. Overall it was a good experience for my first ever online course.

Dr. Chuck Severance is a good, thoughtful instructor, giving a course that is just right for anyone interested in getting started with computer programming. In addition to the regular course materials, I recommend viewing Dr. Chuck's interviews with Python creator Guido van Rossum and Coursera creator Daphne Koller.

very good course for introduction programming skills. I had no idea about programming languages but when I follow the instructions, it took 1 week to complete all course with 100 point final grade! Thanks for sharing information very clearly and for free. I suggest everyone who would like to start from the beginning.
