Programming for Everybody(getting started with python) is a wonderful course which beginners can take-up and get their basics in python. This is a part of specialization course and hence this can be used for further specialization.

I find this course to be an excellent introduction to python. The examples and metaphors used by Dr.Chuck are lucid and easy to understand. I find Dr.Chucks passion and encouragement served as a motivation to complete this course !

This course is very use full for people that doesn't have programming or technical background to start learn Python and help to understand how the computer logic run also for programmer that start to use Python from beginner level.

Excellent class! I had some on the job exposure to programming with SAS and SQL, but this was my first formal class. It really helped me understand what I am doing, and I learned new things as well. The instructor is very engaging.

Hello Charles,

Thank you very much, I personally admire the way you teach the lesson with fun and all the other efforts you put in the course. I learned a lot and now I remembered each and everything I learned during C programming.

Very good for the beginners, since I knew Java little bit it was an added advantage for doing exercises. But overall professor made it really easy to understand this course. I will strongly recommend it to start with Python basics.

From someone who didn't know much, this seems like a fairly good way to get started, the self pacing aspect is ideal. I will try to come back and rate this when I know more, and have a better understanding of where this is leading.

Excellent first course. I was able to understand the lectures, supplement my knowledge with the text book, and reinforce with exercises and quizzes.

I like that a number of topics were introduced without exhausting one at a time.

It was quite an interesting course covering mainly the book as referenced and while beginners can get hold of it too, programmers porting from different coding platforms can also catch up easily with python as taught in this course

My very first MOOC, and it totally got me hooked. The teacher is really good at explaining key concepts and the book is very useful and educational. Definitely will keep on going with the rest of the courses on this specialization.

Great course to get then basic picture of what programming is about. With this course and the book "Python for Informatics" I've learned the basics of Python very quickly and without much pain. Thanks dr. Chuck, you're the best! :)

This course was an extremely helpful introduction to programming. I have no background in this area but I found the pace and material appropriate for my level. I would encourage anyone interested in Python to enroll in this course.

A very well-structured course, aimed at those without prior programming experience. Dr. Chuck takes the time and proper care to explain all the basic concepts thoroughly. This serves as a great way to get your feet wet with Python!

I highly recommend this programming course for beginners. It's comprehensive, well-structured, and approachable. The course content is straightforward, and it places a strong emphasis on building a solid foundation in programming.

Well-structured course for beginners. As an Intermediate Python Programmer, I really enjoyed myself reviewing Python basis again. Thanks also to Dr. Chuck (Doctor Charles Severance) for the great explanations and teaching passion.

Great course for beginners! I started as a complete beginner and now I have some basic knowledge of Python language. I'll complete the specialization.

I really love how Dr.Chuck teaches. It's fun and interesting.

Thank you so much!

Well structured course for beginners in this area, I didn´t know to much about the programming world but this opened up my eyes and showed me the possibilities that there are and how much value can we create for this modern world.

It's the indeed course for the everyone who want's to start from scratch on programming for python. Well explained and teaching skills are exceptional. As Prof Charles on both from Hardware to programming nice transition. Loved it

So easy to follow along step by step! Very helpful to see how to go from Atom to Terminal and the pacing was very appropriate for complete beginners. Seeing some of the exercises worked out was super helpful in debugging my code.

I learnt a lot in this program including how to write simple python programs and how to simplify my codes during the progress. I strongly recommends this course for python programing starters who have little acknowledgement of it.

Not only the teaching style is fabulous but also every common person can be a good programmer only by this course......Thank you Professor Charles Russell Severance and Michigan University and last but not the least ***Coursera***

This is the first time I have participated in such a course, and I am very happy.

The interactions after class every week are very interesting and very good. I like it very much. Thank you very much to the teachers of this course.

I thought the instructor was very helpful. I took a C++ class at a different college and the course material was outdated and hard to understand. The instructor gave good examples and explained everything in a way that made sense.

Great course. Before this course I barely knew about python programing . after following this course I'm able to gather decent amount knowledge about python programming. The instructor is so great highly recommended for beginners.

Thank you so much coursera for helping me learn python programming so easily. I would like to sugeest everybody whoever is reading this review to take up this course if you haven't started programming. This is where you can start.
