I thoroughly enjoyed Professor Charles Severance and his Python course. With no prior coding experience, I was able to complete this course and earn the certificate. I hope to continue learning Python by taking the second part of this series in the future. I especially enjoyed the combination of videos and textbook materials for learning.

A Great beginner course! Thank Coursera and Dr. Chuck for offering such a convenient learning platform and great lectures!

Each quiz and assignment is so essential to build up the knowledge. Wish Dr. Chuck could offer a couple of optional assignment by each study week as some bonus so we could practice a little more!

Once again, thank you!

I was looking for an online course where you could get to know things like you would do in a classroom session, to my surprise coursera provided the same experience as I was looking for. It was in depth and Mr. Charles is a gem! He really wants everyone to learn. I hope more people take this course and kick start with heir career in Python.

I used to program back in high school in C++, but as the time passed, I forgot a lot of things and this course helped me recall basic logic and functions of programming. I'm a marine biologist now, and I am interested in using various programs for modelling and data analysis, and I feel I am on the right track learning the Python language.

This course is the first course I finish in Coursera, its so amaizing that I have great fun in this course and finish it in threedays.While, I may suggest my friends who will take this course in the future to learn this course with a more detailed textbook along with the Python for Informatics. Thanks, Dr.Severance and the teaching stuff.

such a great class. The class aim to give beginners a really nice and easy start so the students who are new to programming will not be intimated or frustrated. The professor is very funny and knowledgeable and make the whole class great fun. I really enjoyed the class and ready to finish the class and move on to the 2nd Python serie class.

Thank you, it was my first ever course on the Python language and I did it! Thank you, professor Charles Severance, for explanation of everything that we need to understand, especially your words on how to approach "being stuck" or frustration as to new materials. It all help me to not to worry about mistakes and just trying one more time!

one of the best courses for beginners! If you are someone who is not from a computer background, but python is needed for some of your jobs (eg: bioinformatics) this course can be a very good start to get accustomed to the functions and other basic things :) ! The professor was cool as hell and the way he taught the whole was phenomenal !

I have absolutely No experience in IT and this was smooth than any other Platform i have bought 2 courses on Udemy and believe they flew over my head. end of the day Dr. Chuck is doctor and it does make a huge difference when an academic is Teaching you there are so many Psychological facrtors involved what they are aware of as Professors

This was my first ever course on Coursers and I absolutely loved it! The instructor was so good with his unique teaching methods, and just as the title of the course suggested, it can give anyone a good grip on the basics of 'Python ' programming. Thank you so very much for this wonderful course and I hope to learn more about your courses!

Stellar course. Charles Severance is easily one of the best teachers I've seen in my life, online or face to face, period. His ability to engage the student, trivialize complex mechanisms and maintain interest all through the video medium is remarkable. I am very impressed by the overall value of this course and it gets my highest praises.

Only one minus factor that the questions are too easy. Yeah its a beginner a course so I can't really complain about it. Otherwise everything in this course is actually covered with perfection and as if you are actually new to programming not like other courses who say its for beginners and uses sophisticated without telling it's meaning.

This course is extremely helpful. It not only teaches you basic but also gives wide depth to your concept. You can take this course if you don't have any past programming experience.The instructor is very good and is very engaging. The material provide is very interactive and easily understandable.Overall I personally find it very helpful.

Excellent course for an Introduction to Python for Everybody! The instructor knows what he's talking about, and he explains new, difficult concepts very smoothly. Well designed assignments and apt apt pace of the course just tops it off! Definitely persuing further courses of this specialization. Thanks Coursera and University of Michigan!

Scared to Program? Do you find yourself staring at the screen wondering what to type next when coding? Do you get confused as to errors you create and can't figure out how to find them? Professor Chuck is the cat's pajamas. I am so stoked to learn more my armpits are sweating.

This first class is "empowerment" for the non programmer.

This course is a great place to start learning python and basic computer science. I would recommend using this course as the backbone for your learning and then utilizing other resources to see the problems from a different perspective.

Overall this course cemented the knowledge in my head much better than other online courses I had taken.

i loved this course! the professor is really enjoyable to listen to and his slides are super legible and easy to follow. The videos are short enough to gain the learning needed but not so long as to lose you along the way. My only comment is that I wish there were more practice problems or exercises so I could really hone up on my skills!

Awesome course. I know a number of programming and scripting languages but never had been to a class. This is a brilliant course designed and executed with an entirely different note which I could never expect.

Along with python this course teaches a lot. This python series a must for anyone who wants to learn programming.

Thanks Dr. Chuck.

The class with professor Charles Severance are so interesting and fun, you will learn basic python in and easy way, the videos are short and very helpful, the assignations are a way to apply what you are learning in each week, this course is very recommendable for all the persons that wants to learn python from zero previous knowledge.

This course is very well designed and delivered. Though this subject is completely new to me but I could still follow the content easily. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning Python as a beginner. I love so much also the humorous delivery by Professor Severance. It's just an enjoyable learning experience.

This was a great course for me.It was fairly easy to understand the course andthe prof. knows the right way to teach.His classes were FUN to listen and I really enjoyed it.Also I had previous knowledge on programming ,as I have learnt C++ in my school.So it was very easy for me.I would recommend anyone to try this.So I would rate it 5/5:D

I am really happy to be guided under a supervisor, who is so experienced and kind person, Prof Charles. I am much more enthusiastic about learning the language than ever before. Attending the lecture of Charles is never boring and always feels like learning Python is as easy as learning to write a story. Thank you Coursera for the course.

It was a really good and well organized course to get started with programming. I really appreciate the efforts of the teaching team that they are really trying their best to educate the world. The course content and the way Mr. Charles Russell Severance convey the lectures really makes it easy to understand and comprehend the techniques.

Easy with well measured material and challenge. The ability to watch and pause lectures as much as needed is awesome. The material is well thought out and also timely and important. This was a great experience - low pressure, easy to learn and you feel like you accomplished something and have a sense of the larger challenge that awaits.

Excelente, lo recomiendo ampliamente, aunque considero que se deben tener nociones muy básicas de programción para avanzar, de lo contrario será más difícil, de ahí en fuera esta super bien. Hay vídeos extras en lo que el prfesor muestra sus viajes a congresos, creo que son interesantes pero innecesarios para inlcuir en el curso.
