I enjoyed this class and I was able to keep up with it even though I have a full time job and a family. The lectures were fun and the quizzes and assignments related to the lecture material. Great introductory class that helps you with other good computer skills like downloading apps, navigating in the terminal window, etc. in addition to learning intro Python.

I do not have any background in computer science and this course was easy to follow along and learn the basics. I thoroughly enjoyed Dr.Severance's way of explaining abstract concepts and how we repeatedly go over concepts. The quizzes and assignments were a great way to review ideas in the book while giving us the opportunity to use our newly acquired knowledge.

The way the lectures were mixed with entertaining and informative videos of prominent persons involved with python, and computer science generally, kept me captivated and hungry to move forward constantly. I didn't find any of the material tiring because of the style of presentation although I felt everything was introduced thoroughly.

It was fantastic. Thank you

¡Me encantó este curso! El profesor explica los temas de una manera tan enficiente que es sencillo entender la lógica de Python y las estructuras del código de los ejercicios para resolver los problemas. Además, considero que el contenido de este cursos, a pesar de ser un curso "básico", está tan desarollado que es suficiente para realizar tareas algo complejas.

The course is exceptionally well-crafted for students and professionals who have an inkling of programming, or who want to develop skills into learning Python. The lectures, quizzes and programming exercises are quite conceptual, and Professor Charles makes sure he covers all the basics of everything that is needed to be understood in a program. Truly brilliant.

This course is a great opportunity for those who are interested in start learning programing languages. Materials and lectures are very well structured. During the course you will get familiar with basic programing techniques and concepts. If you are willing to spend some effort and learn the basics of programming this course and Python language is just for you.

The instructor, Dr Chuck, did an excellent job in explaining Python programming concept in a lively way. The bonus materials also bring a better picture in how the computing world looks like. Overall, a very good introductory course for "everybody" with really no prior concept in programming. I am looking forward to the next course to dig deeper in the topic.

Este curso foi perfeito para minha iniciação na linguagem Python. A clareza com que o tutor explica é sensacional. Sempre irei indicar este curso a todos que assim como eu estava perdido neste universo da programação , imaginando ser um bicho de sete cabeças e aí basta assistir estas aulas para compreender que não é tão ruim quanto estes pensamentos. Agradeço !

The teacher's way of explaining is really intuitive, it's really easy to understand and visualize the concepts he teaches us. I had no problems at all during the classes and I could learn everything pretty easily. Only watching the classes is not enough though, practice makes perfect and the best way to remember what was said is practicing even more. Loved it.

The instructor really breaks down the material into understandable chunks. Whereas other professors think they explain the concepts well or in ways that get the point across, Dr. Chuck actually does so. He is thorough too. No detail is left out. It really is a good beginner class to take. I’ve decided I am going to pursue data science thanks to this instructor.

This is the best online course I have taken. I have taken some courses on programming and this one is the best. The teaching and the assignments invoke interest to go on and on. I would like to recommend this to anybody who is starting on coding. Hats off to Professor Chuck and the team for a wonderful course. Thank you, Coursera and the University of Michigan.

overall it is a good course that anyone from any background can learn. It mainly focus on the basic concept of python but it also help us to grasp the root very well. It also has pretty good level problem , the problem makes you think about the question deeper. And the instructor is awesome and he is the kind of guy who can make you fell love without any direct

The hardest course I've ever taken and the one which frustrated me to an extent where I thought I'd end up giving up, but I didn't! Dr. Chuck's teaching is extremely admirable (so is his personality). His teaching made me want to finish the course and learn the material properly. Thank you for the course, Dr. Chuck, you made me believe that anybody can program!

I am a little bit old (over sixty), my Eglish is poor and I am greenhorn in this area, but I am very enthusiastic. The videos, lectures, assignments, tests are very good structured, you can cope with it relatively easily. I am grateful to Mr. Chuck, and I hope I will write my programmes in Phython, thanks this Courses. It is great fun, I recommend to everyone!

As someone who has used Python before, this course was a great refresher and although I am no self-proclaimed expert, I feel I have some experience with the language. That being said, the exercises were just enough of a challenge that I had to really think about what I was doing which was a nice test of knowledge taught within the video lessons. Very well done!

I recommend this course because is very well structure and explained. In addition, Dr. Charles Severance makes Python to look easy to learn. The main difference that I found with other courses I took here in Coursera is that the lectures are truly thought for beginners, with this I mean concepts are secuencial so it is easy to comprehend them and in fact learn.

Wonderful course for true beginners. The course starts out at a very basic level, working its way up at a pace that one should feel perfectly comfortable with. Dr. Chuck has also shared some interesting tidbits (interviews) throughout the course, which I felt were quite informative. His enthusiasm is something that should help you keep going through the course.

I totally recommend this course for those who want to learn Python programming. also, for those who want to learn how to program in general. This course is really easy compared to others that I took before. The teacher is pretty awesome and makes lessons very bearable. If you want to develop your career as a data scientist, it is a good start without any doubt.

A good introduction course to programming in general. Dr. Chuck clearly explains things that I've never been able to grasp from books. I love the Computing Conversation videos, watching the inventors of Python and Arduino inspires anyone watching to create fun things to play around with or something more useful. I often come back to these videos for inspiration

Wonderful introductory course for Python and computer science in general. My son is a freshman just getting started in computer science. I've strongly recommended that he take the intro Python course and further on if he is interested. He is attempted to get it added as an area of study in the university and by groups within the university. Very well done!!

What a great course! I started this course knowing absolutely nothing about Python. I'm now able to make very basic programmes and this course has inspired me to conitnue learning about coding.

The lecturer was absolutely fantastic. He explains things very well and goes through the material bit by bit.

I would definitely recommend this course to other beginners.

print("Satisfied"). The greatest aspect of this course lies in its ability to expound on the theoretical nature of the programming language at a level that beginners can understand. This is not a class that relies on parroting, but one that places the responsibility of critical and logical thought to the students as a necessary part of the learning experience.

This is a very important step as a beginner in python programming. The instructor actually made the course so much interesting by relating many concepts to the things that we are already familiar with. The visual illustration during his presentation are of great importance to get the big of a lesson, and were never boring. I wish to see in python3 programming.

I have some limited experience in object oriented programming so this course was too bad. Each of the assignment become progressively harder as the knowledge is built up upon with each week. Overall great concepts that are being displayed with application for each. I would recommend this course. I'm looking forward to taking all the classes in this series.

I am just spellbound seeing the way Mr. Severence teaches. He is just fabulous. You won't get during the course for a single second. Just because of him I was able to complete the 7 weeks course in less than 24 hours. I have become a huge fan of Mr. Severence. Talking about the course, this course will definitely give you a head start towards learning Python.
