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.

Excellent, although, even without having any programming experience except some Visual Basic at school about ten years ago, in my opinion the course could have bee more difficult and the pace quicker.

Really enjoyed this course! The instructor was very informative and made it easy to understand. It's also great knowing we're able to go at our own pace. Though there were a few assignments that threw a few curve/tricky situations to solve.

Good course! Prof Chuck's teaching is remarkable as he makes concepts easy to understand. Also the interviews in bonus videos were quite inspiring. Thanks to the entire team for catering us with a wonderful programming experience. Kudos! :)

Simple to understand. For those who have no programming or computer science background this would be easy, or should I say it would not be too difficult to go through lecture materials. The best thing I love are the quizzes and assignments.

I took this lesson as a computer engineer to learn basic applications about Python. The lesson was very useful and I had a lot of fun. The learning materials are wonderful. Thank you for all organizer and the instructurer Charles Severance.

Extremely easy to follow. The last assignment was a little difficult considering the simplicity of the other assignments, but well worth it. I've already recommended the course to co-workers and I'm looking forward to completing the series.

This course is definitely for beginners. If you want to learn to program, but you aren't sure where to start then this is the course for you. If you are someone who already knows a bit of programming then this course will seem a bit easy.

Great introductory course for beginning programmers. This course helps users build a strong foundation from which to build additional skill sets. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning Python or general programming.

easy to understand for non-programmers. Love the professor and his humor. As the professor says, you should make sure to understand every single line in your program at this early stage. I'm taking the second part of the specialization now.

Excelente como punto de partida si no se tienen conocimientos previos respecto a Python, el profesor explica todo de manera clara. Las actividades tienen un buen de nivel de exigencia; usas lo visto en clase pero aun así tienes que pensar.

This is a fantastic entry-level programming course for those with little to no programming experience. Friendly and engaging instructor makes the material easy to comprehend. Recommend for anyone looking to dip their toes into programming.

It's a great non-intimidating introduction into Python. Dr Chuck brings so light and with humor, it really helps a lot for me as a beginner. He uses non technical comparisons that everyone can understand, that was really a big plus for me.

I definitely recommend this course for everyone who is interested in programming. As it says that it is for everyone, even for people without a background. It was the first step for me in programming but I will go for it to develop myself.

I really enjoyed taking this course because for years I've been wanting to learn Python and I was motivated to finish the course in the least time possible because of how fun it was. The professor was also really clear in his explanations.

Strongly recommendable for programming beginners. Python is a relatively straightforward language and is more explicit if you wish to do something in a short time. This course covers the basics of Python and it really explains things well.

I've been learning Python from youtube channels so this course was kind of easy to me, but if I compare both styles of learning, I prefer this one because it has an order and the explanations are so much clear.

This is an excellent course!

The instructor starts teaching from very basics which helps non-programmers to get the concepts easily. Moreover, he made the foundation strong by delivering key points that other instructors usually skip this thing to go straight forward.

The course is excellent. Dr. Chuck is an excellent teacher as he can make the difficult terms easy to understand the content and pace of the course is well adjusted. I would recommend the course to anyone who has zero background to Python.

This is a very simple yet interesting course introducing someone who has no experience in programming before into the world of programming. For those who have already had background in Computer Science, this course is a tad too high-level.

everything you explain even if it is simple or tricky one does explain with the same kind of intensity where we find it interesting and fun to learn without feeling any kind of burden thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge and resource
