Overall a best course. The way Dr. Charles Severence makes us understand the use of Python. All the built-in functions, lists, tuples and everything is so streamlined. It makes it easier for me to understand the programming language.

There are may be hundreds of courses for python out there. But what makes this one the best is Prof. Charles's approach to pick up the topics to begin with, it never bores you and keeps your interest intact in the subject. Thank you.

Very nice starting course for someone with even no programming experience, if you have some experience you can go though it faster to learn the basics of python and use it for some programs. I am looking forward for the second course.

Great course. Clear explanations with worked examples. The autograder is amazing - you can know immediately whether your codes are correct, and the autograder is flexible such that it accepts more than one way to arrive at the output.

This class is well crafted. I enjoyed it and thought it beneficial. It was a great jump point for understanding Python. I would recommend for anyone looking to get started in Python with a general understanding of systems and Bash.

Managed to finish the course during the free tryout week! Professor Severance is funny, easy to understand. He makes it seem so interesting and easy, at least for now..... I would gladly to subscribe to the next 4 courses on the list.

Excellently paced for a complete beginner. Other courses I've taken are much faster paced, it was nice to get a background on some procedures and functions that were glossed over quickly in other courses I've worked through in Python.

Dr.Chuck is amazing, I learned a great deal from his course materials and I am inspired from me myself tagging along all the way through the end of the course. Now I would love to continue discovering more in the world of programming!

Very helpful and clear instructions. I had audited other courses and the assignments did not give enough information and i ended up stopping part way. This is my first completed coursera course and its all thanks to the great teacher!

This course is crafted very beautifully and Dr.Chuck has done a fantastic job in explaining the various basic elements that form the base of Python Language . Looking forward to enrolling in other Coursera courses in the days ahead :)

Very useful introduction to Python for non-programmers as you'll learn not only basic functions but also get answers to the 'nagging questions' about how Python, or programming in general, works at all in the form of simple analogies.
