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.

Great course! It was exciting, and it really helped me to develop my abilities and start programming. The professor has a lot of knowledge of the topic, and he explains each one in a way that is understandable even if you have no previous experience with coding.

Charles provides a clean and fast introduction to Python, going all over the basics like print, for loops and iteration, conditionals, logical and math operators, variable declaration etc. It is a good choice if you have never programmed, or programmed in python.

I love Dr Chuck, the guy really knows how to pass his knowledge and get student interested in programming. He is not a boring teacher for a change and I love to hear. The course might seem slow but it teaches the right way because it will stick to you. I love it.

The course with Professor Dr Several was dynamic and enjoyable. In a light but consistent way it allowed me to learn the first steps in Python programming. I recommend it to everyone interested in the subject, and like me, looking to learn something totally new.

Understandable and enjoyable course! It is a good course to go around swimming of water of an engineering language before going a dive into deep as it is usually a difficult to learn language. I will surely be back soon. Thank you, Mr. Charles Russell Severance.

For beginners in python programming, it's an excellent course. I had some assignments to do using Python and though it would be nice to take some beginner's level course and I am totally impressed with the way Dr. Chuck delivered this course. I highly recommend.

Excelent course for everybody who wants to start with Python. It doesn't matter your purpose, this course is designed for people without programming skills as well as people who know other languages like C or anything else and wants to begin this other language.

Dr Charles Severance is a chill laid-back professor and makes learning fun. Prior to this course I had absolutely zero knowledge in computer science or python and found the coursework manageable and light. I will definitely continue this series with Dr Charles!

As a beginner, I had fun with this course. The instructor is pretty cool, He has explained everything so nicely. I wish, I become a good programmer, and do well in python. Thanks to Mr. Charles for this course, He is also a reason for my interest in programming.

Everything is really good. Teaching method of Dr Chuck is not lazy.

I got python basic and other computer knowledge especially I saw old hardisk.

Thanks Coursea and Professors

Loved the exercises and the concise explanation. Didn't really feel engaged or interested in the misc. videos, but otherwise quite enjoyed the course very much. I felt like I was always looking forward to the next exercise. More assignments might be a good idea.

Excellent course for a beginner. Lectures taken at the right pace, very clear and the accent is understandable even to non-native English speakers. Quiz and Evaluation tests are appropriate for a beginner. Thanks to all who have designed and offered this course.

This is my favorite beginner's Python course I've taken, and I've taken a lot of them from all over the place. I've taken this one twice, because the way Dr. Chuck explains things just clicks with me. I'm off to take his other courses for the second time now! :D

Thank you charles, I've done these fundamental parts in two nights, coz I have previously finished programming courses with Matlab. So this course was easy for me. But Charles taught very well and he's an energetic and interesting instructor. I like this course.

For me, this is course is very informative, especially for its clear coding knowledge like the following four basic patterns in python : sequential, conditional,store&retrieve, and looping pattern:) Also, I am looking forward to studying the next four courses:)

i have fun in this course, also it was easy to understand the subjects of the course and the comands of python. Dr Chuck did a great job explaining how to program with python. Maybe the assignments were sometimes too easy, on the other hand, they were fun to do.

Charles Severance is perhaps the greatest instructor of a programming language that I have ever encountered. Not only are the lectures engaging but the assignments are relevant and I have been able to apply what I have learned immediately to my day to day life.
