Very good course for beginners as well as for the guys with experience in programming. As experienced developer passed the course in two days. However I learned lot of new things. Good balance between watching videos and programming.

I really enjoyed this course. I enjoyed how the course material included various topics beyond pure programming. This kept it interesting all the way through. I am looking forward to the next course in the Python series. Go Blue!

The teaching methodology was superb!!

It worth spending time in his lecture.Hope to have some advance study soon in Python which shall be freely available to learners who keen to learn something new but cannot afford the tuition fee.

I started more courses on different learning platforms, but left them all. Finished only this course because of Dr. Chuck. Thank you very much, the lectures were very well explained and the information was presented very interesting.

This course was recommended on Reddit for those who don’t like, or struggle with the math used in similar Coursera courses and I agree.

If you want to learn Python without needing a math refresher, this is the best course to take.

I am really surprised how I can already solve Python quizzes correctly after taking just the first course in this specialization. I'm really impressed and the instructor is the absolute best he made things really easy to understand.

Excellent course.

The topic is presented in a way that is easy to understand. Most "beginner" programming courses tend to overlook lots of stuff that are complicated/confusing to newbies, while this course address nearly all of them.

This course is an excellent starting point if you are new to Python and programming. If you know some programming already but not Python, the course is still useful but you can move through it very quickly. The instructor is great.

A very detailed and well-explained course which helped me start off my journey into coding, I hope this program has the same impact on all other participants as it has had on me. Thank you, Dr.Chuck and Coursera.

Kind regards,

Really good, well explained foundational course. I found my experience enhanced when I actually read the text prior to watching the videos (or the other way around. Getting the information two ways helped it stick a little better.

Everything was explained very clearly by the instructor, especially for students like me who are not experienced with the technical aspects of a computer, with interesting facts added in here and there to make it all very memorable.

One of the best on-line courses I've done so far. Dr. Chuck is very knowledgeable, with a much-needed sense of humor for this type of "dry" course. I'll give myself one day break before enrolling for part 2 of the course. Thank you!

This is a good course for getting your feet wet with a programming language. I haven't learned a language in over 20 years, but the instructor made me comfortable with Python and provided a good foundation for learning the language.

Love to come back again for more ... I now really understand what coding is and i know where to start from . Python is one of the best and the instructor makes it easy and understandable .

Thank you Coursera for such a great program

Great course for a beginner at programming and python. Definitely helped me challenge myself at learning how control flow works and have a realization of how much have I learnt throughout the course by solving the exercise problems.
