The course is really engaging and ensures that all its learners understand all the minor details of programming. Mr. Charles Severance has done an excellent job in teaching and explaining concepts to learners that even people from non-programming background will be able to grasp the concepts. Kudos!

This is perhaps the best online course I have taken so far. The course is paced optimally for beginners and the assignments are designed to help students practice and demonstrate what they have learned. I would prefer to have more assignments. Dr. Chuck is systematic and clear in his explanations.

If you have some programming under your belt, you should still take a moment to work through this first course. It will show you many of the intricate differences between Python and other languages you may know. Very well organized and even the textbook is a nice read! That's huge for a coding book!

This is an amazing course for "beginners". If you are totally new to programming world then this course is best for you. But if you are familiar with other programming language like C or Java then you may not find this course very useful. Take this course if you are totally new to programming world.

Step by step approach. Always an element of stretch, but with perseverance you can work out the problems. Thankfully English is my first language, so at least that isn't an additional challenge. I have a greater appreciation for how much code goes into some relatively basic functions I use on my PC.

Very easy to get into even if you have zero programming experience. Material is clear, and there's enough moments of dry wit and humor through the course and materials to keep you engaged. Read the chapters, watch the lectures, then do the quizes and assignments and you should never have problems.

This is the best course that I have come across. It helps in creating a rock solid foundation for the learning , understanding and implementing python. Dr Chuck is unarguably the best teacher and Coursera is the best platform for online learning and MOOC. Looking forward for the specialization now.

Good, engaging instructor. The instructor does a fantastic job at explaining the core ideas throughout the course and paces out the perfect amount of information in each lesson. Assignments are challenging but fair, and require the student to apply what they have learned without getting frustrated.

Wow ! Im so happy I completed the last quiz by iterating samples and improving my errors. But I know this is just a start of a new beginning in understanding in depth the concept and applications of Data Structures. Im so excited to take on the next course in Data Structure. Thanks Prof Charles !!!

This course is a good start for people who knows a programming language, but also wants to learn Python as well. It really helped me learning the basic operations and necessary syntaxes I need to know. Hence, this course also reveals the unique features of Python that many languages don't possesse.

Because I think that Coursera is a great platform that provides us outstanding courses and its is the best way to learn through coursera to work in a workplace in future,I think Coursera is the best option for all the learners and there is brilliant instructors / teachers in it.

Thank you Coursera.

It is a didactic starting course for everybody. Some basics are being explained here, but if you already have experience as a Software Engineer and have used Python to some extent, you can just go to the grades and start completing the assignments, for me it took me less than two hours to complete.

Many thanks to Professor Severance for this course.

Despite the fact that the course, I think, was too easy for me, I learned some new key points in programming. Professor Severance explains the basics of programming so easily for understanding that even a foreign student will get a lot of pleasure.

This is my first experience with Coursera. I am so overwhelmed with this system, that as soon as I am done with this course, I'll go for next. Speaking of this course, I had an amazing experience with beginners course of Python. It made me confident, and gave me courage to purse more in this field.

Es un curso muy bien estructurado, con documentación excelente y un instructor no acartonado que explica muy bien cada tema y generosamente comparte su entusiasmo con entrevistas de sus colegas y pequeños clips de grupos de estudiantes de python. Para mi es una experiencia muy grata en Coursera.

This course is very interesting and appealing. I love the teaching style of Dr. Charles. As a woman, it is even easy for me to learn programming. I think learning Python on Coursera is a once-in-a-life experience for me. I have already introduced the course to many of my friends and family members.

Great course for beginners!! Professor Charles is a great teacher as he explains everything in a lucid way and even clear misconceptions in the mind of novice programmers. It helped me to build my fundamentals in a very organized way . Must to take for anyone beginning to learn python from scratch.

I thought this course was excellent. I had a little experience with Python from another Coursera course, and this helped to clarify and solidify the basics. It seems well-designed for beginners although absolute beginners with little experience in STEM may have to work hard and use other resources.

The pace is perfect for beginners. I've done a fair amount of programming in the past but I definitely appreciate how the tutor goes through the material patiently. The assignments were fairly easy for me due to my background but I thought they were challenging enough for any first-time programmers

Completely new to programming. This course was easy to understand, but seems to provide complete information to write complex programs if desired. The presentation is concise, so not overwhelmed with unnecessary information or overly long explanations. The professor is engaging for the lectures.

As an introductory course it offers a lot if you are aspiring to START learning about Python or programming in general. The workload is light but you learn enough and I'd recommend to advance to the course in the series to continue applying what you learned and to expand that knowledge more deeply.

Programming has never been so fun! When combined with extra resources (books, trainings, extra course) this course becomes highly effective. It feels very natural to go from Matlab and Java to Python by doing solving these simple problems. Thanks a ton and I am looking forwards to the next course!

The magical thing about you is that when you are talking about a teaching content, it feels like you are like us, and you don’t know what it is. Your unique guiding method is like a small upward fountain, and the hidden underneath is your huge reserves of knowledge.I will keep learning on Coursera

I had no idea before I joined the Dr.Charles Severance's course and now I feel like I passed the hardest part of the programming, cause I used to think always how I can start to and who can teach me from the begining. I am so glad to have that chance, thank you so much especially to Mr. Severance.

This course is highly recommended! Title is very apt for the course: it is indeed programming for everybody. I love how the concepts were simplified in a manner that you won't be overwhelmed with the new concepts introduced in the whole course (even if you don't have any knowledge in programming).
