I loved it! Dr. Chuck is extraordinary in his explanations. A great way to start on Python programming. As a person that hasn't programmed in years it was an encouraging and educational experience :-)

Great introduction to Python and programming as a whole. Everything is broken down making it easy to understand. Had zero programming experience before and this class made it easy and fun to get into.

I started with no previous experience at all in Python (though some in R), and now feel pretty good that I can find my way through most basic tasks. Dr. Chuck is such a good teacher and I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn or refresh their Python!

As a 2 time Python course drop-out, to have completed the 7 weeks in a matter of 6 days, I feel validated and have more or less made it a goal to hopefully meet the man that was able to break through this REALLY thick skull of mine, and help me comprehend programming!

This is just the tip of the iceburg. I felt this course clearafied basic information I was lacking for the Harvard CS50x course and was in over my head. I will digest the information form what I learned here and hope to feel more confident and becone more productive.

I really reccomend this course to people that have very little to no knowledge about python or other programming languages. It is a great start because it also teaches the basics of programming and how you are supposed to approach problem-solving when writing a code.

It was a great experience with Charles sir. Even though I was new to python but I did not find any difficulty in learning. I can surely say that one do not need any prior knowledge of programming to start this course. I really enjoyed the course. THANKS TO CHARLES SIR

My first thought is whether I am able to acquire basic skills using phyton. As I go through the learning process (as the instructor clearly explained all the reasoning in coding phyton), I find it interesting to explore, learn more about phyton and acquire the skills.

I love Dr Chuck. Have done many of his courses and each of them is so enjoyable. I knew the course material well already but I finished it anyway because he is the instructor. I knew he'd make the experience valuable. I can't thank him enough for all that I've learnt.

Thanks!

A very beginners-friendly course on programming with Python.

I was really encouraged & inspired by the knowledge of programming, coding, problem-solving with computational language.

Thanks! To Open-mindedness, curiosity, and devotion of the responsible professor!

A really exceptional course, I really recommend anyone who is just starting to ode and have no coding background. This is just the course for you. Also anyone with prior knowledge can really just brush up their skills and memory on Python through this. I did the same.

Un buen curso para iniciarse en Python, ya sea que se tenga noción de programación en otros lenguajes o si es el primer contacto con la programación. Si bien el inglés es un idioma muy usado en muchos lugares del mundo, sería bueno que tuvieran subtítulos en español.

Very good course. Lectures were extremely detailed yet comprehensive and covered all the threads related to the program. The schedule was very flexible. The support on the discussion also helped by lot. The assignments employed practical thinking and problem thinking.

A great course for anyone who wants to start with programming even with close to zero knowledge about it. Pretty much jump-starts your brain about the electronic and programming world. You start to see the world in a programmer's perspective a bit after finishing it.

The instructor, Dr. Chuck, is amiable. I enjoyed his lessons very much. You have to beat your brains out to solve the assignments, which makes this course more enjoyable. I loved this course. I am looking forward to completing the other courses in this specialization.

The most valuable things in the course are challenges that are connected to the lectures that you should note and be attentive while listening to Dr. Charles. It is a way that python developers should solve problems in programming. Thank you. My best recommendation :)

The instructors, video and reading are all relevant and straight to the punch. In addition, I felt the class did an excellent job of explaining difficult terms in a fashion that's understandable to someone who had absolutely 0 programming skills prior (me). Thank you.

I've tried a lot of different online resources to learn to program, and this course by Dr. Chuck is one of the most effective and delightful. You learn quickly, while still taking the time to understand the underlying fundamentals, something that other resources skip.

It is a really good course for Python beginner. The class started with the most basic knowledge and then gets deeper gradually. Really easy to follow up with the video and programing a little bit with the help with the video. Highly recommended for beginner of Python.

I have made many attempts to learn programming over the last couple of years. I gave up thinking that I just didn't have the mind for it. Then, I found this course. This is exactly what I needed. I've made real progress and have hope. Thank you Dr. Severance and team!

It was a wonderfully designed course for student having no knowledge of programming, even i was one of that student. But after completing the course i feel that i can also become a great programmer. Thank you coursera for providing such a wonderful platform to study.

I've background in medicine and public health, I used STATA and SPSS before, so have some knowledge of what coding is, but Dr Chucks elevated my knowledge and skills to a whole different level, and I'm now thinking about logics in coding differently, to be continued.
