A well-designed course, especially for the beginners, who are really enthusiastic and passionate about programming. It really helps you to learn from scratch and it does not require any prerequisites.

PY4E is my first coursera which I finished completely. I have to say it's a perfect course for beginners to get familiar with the python programming. I think it makes me get interested in Python!

Great course my only complaint is not enough assignments to apply and practice. Hard to make up scenarios/situations to solve when I don't know what I can or can't do yet in terms of programming.

well outlined, and the content is easy to follow for beginners.

It would be best if there were an update and it do a version of python 3.

Overall, it is a good course, from the ppts to the e-book.

Great!! Interesting and fun. Easy to learn and people who does not have experiences in programming could successfully understand. It's very easy and interesting. I strongly recommend this course.

I feel like programming is a serious gap in my otherwise quite good education and Dr. Chuck set me on the way to correcting that in a very fun and professional manner. Thank you, I'll keep going.

It's an amazing course, even for beginner's who barely had any knowledge about programming. It includes exercises that teach you step-wise know how and a logical flow towards understanding python

Very tidy and step by step course. Dr. Chuck has a great sense of humour, it wants you to keep wanting more. The bonus videos with all the great inventors of the languages is like cherry on cake.

I had a little bit of knowledge about Python coding before taking these courses, but it was very insightful and helpful in my quest to learn more and helped instill the things I did already know.

Very funny and experienced Professor!

Very helpful and thorough course, but a little bit too easy.

Very good starting point for those want to learn programing but no previous programing experience.

Learning from Sir Charles Severance feels very good. He's a very good professor. I hope when I proceed to a university for my higher studies, I get a chance to learn from a professor like him :)

The course is a bit slow for someone with a programming background but it is an awesome way to make the training completely fool-proof and may cater a very little to no experience in programing.

It really is for everybody. I knew bananas about programming and pyhton before taking this course. It takes you through all the basics with exercises, mcqs etc etc. Highly recommend this course!

I had no experience with any kind of programming, but in this course everything was given step by step, so it was interesting, because it was not too easy, but not so hard that you want to quit.

Good for basic Python syntax and semantics. Too basic if you already are familiar with the semantics of another programming language. Then it's better to just look up the syntax and differences.
