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.

I am very much satisfied with instructor for the way he was teaching. My undergraduate languages(C or FORTRAN) experience was useful while learning this course. Who ever NO other programming languages experience, it was the best course.

The course is very knowledgeable and has very well explained the basics of python for a beginner. From the basics of installing and starting work on python through with variables. conditional statements and loops, it's taught very well.

Best introduction to programming that I can possibly imagine. As a non-computer person I'm extremely grateful to Dr. Severance. I had never seriously attempted programming until now (and way to go). Thank you very much again from Spain.

Best course which starts from basics and put you at position to start career or write complex coding.

Though it's a basic course it gives confidence for moving ahead with python for exploring more and more new things in computer science.

I love that the lecturer gives all the information sequentially and in such high details. Even the beginners will be able to get them easily. I was able to complete course 1 within 3 days thanks to how interesting the whole program was.

Dr. Severance organized this course very well, and the assignments are beneficial for me to master the concepts (teaching staff in the forum are very responsive to learner's questions!). I will continue to learn this series of courses.

Simple but effective course for beginners in programming. The instructor is friendly, the videos are well paced. You can increase the speed of the videos if you fell you are grasping things faster. Would recommend to absolute beginners.

Great materials and practical examples which guide you step by step through the basics of Python.

However, this introductory course is also universal, shows language structures and logic which is used in many other programming languages.

Great introduction to programmng and Phython, I never wrote code before, now I want to enroll in the specialization and learn much more! It could be improved with aditional practical excersises, or externl sources on where to find some.

Before taking this class, all I know about python is 'P-Y-T-H-O-N'. After taking this class, I can say that,'i can able to write some little programs using python'. I want to thank the instructor for this course and he is good teacher.
