This course is focused on teaching the basics of python for those who does not know even the basics of programming. The way that the professors provide explanations to every concept makes pretty easy to understand every aspect of the course. I highghly recommend it for newcomers in the world of programming.

What's really great about this course is that you get 3-4 different avenues to learn and secure your knowledge on the topic. Not only are there videos you can watch and material to read, the quizzed help remind you of what you learned and most of all the practice exercises give you experience in programming.

It was really a wonderful learning experience with Prof. Charles. He is really a great educator and learning python for the first time wouldn't have been better than this. So thanks to Coursera for giving us such a great opportunity to learn online while being quarantined at our home for the last two months.

Excellent course, well suited for beginners, as it covers the very basics to ensure you understand all subsequent steps. The teaching approach is very engaging and interspersed exercises as well as additional material and resources available from the PY4E website helped me stay engaged throughout the course.

Great lecturer and well though-out assignments that cement the teaching in the lectures. The 'autograder' assignments are very useful and how some code has been entered to start you off and get you thinking (it may or may not be correct!)

My only criticism is that the bonus materials aren't all that relevant.

I really loved this course. I have no prior knowledge of programming. After completing this course, i have learned the basics of Python programming. The teaching and the exercises in this course is really good. I would definitely recommend this course to someone who wants to start learning python from basics

Outstanding introduction to Python. A bit off topic at times, but all with good intent by Dr. Chuck. For those with NO knowledge of computers, it's a good point to start; those with intermediate computer knowledge, you'll find yourself time-skipping through videos at time. 10/10, have recommended to friends.

Very good course! It explains a computational language in an easy way so i, a biologist could easily understand it. The tests are very compatible with the course theory and really helped me to practice what I've learned in the course. Congratulations on the great course! I'm looking forward to the next ones!

An awesome course for beginners..Starts from the root of logic building and programming and moves forward to some tough problems..Very interactive sessions with an awesome teacher who brings a big smile on your face whenever you open the video..Feeling really high after completing the course... Thank you..:)

Un curso excelente, con facilidad para expresar los temas a estudiar, como consejo diría que no se traduzca todo, sugiero que se dejen en su idioma original las palabras claves de python (como For, While, etc) y las variables escritas por el profesor Charles, para evitar alguna confusion con los subtitulos.

This course has great foundational concepts. I am already enrolled in another Python class from University of Michigan so the content went by very quickly. This is a great course for an absolute beginner. For those that know about functions at a greater depth you can complete all assignments in a few hours.

Great for beginners to programming. I've already had a background with programming with the languages C, Java, Kotlin, Javascript and PHP. But since Charles' style was very good and his mentality about teaching programming impressed me I followed this course to gain some of his ideas. Thanks for the course!

Excellent teacher! Anyone without any experience in programming can understand the basic algorithmic principles and the structure of the python. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to start programming from scratch but also to anyone who would like to learn specifically the python programming language.

Very good, very understandable, the explanation is thorough and systematic. I love how Mr. Charles teaches, his clear explanation, supported with easy-to-understand examples and analogies is just the best !! I love studying about Programming and i would like to take another class! Thanks very much Coursera!

I really enjoyed it. It was too easy for me, though, because I already took a Python Specialization from UofMichigan. I'm excited to tackle the other courses in this Specialization, though. That should be fun! Thanks for a great course in general, and I love the open source nature of this. All the best! Ian

El curso está padre, Charles Russel sin duda hace un gran trabajo al mezclar la programación con algunos videos para que la gente aprenda el impacto de la programación. Recomiendo el curso, sin embargo hace falta más práctica. recomendaría que mezclaran este curso con una plataforma adicional como Datacamp.

Different to many other courses you can sense that the teacher knows the potholes you can fall in as a student and he provides you as a student very good help in achieving tasks and assignments, a well thought through course by a teacher who likes to programme and teach. I salute him for a very good course.

This course helped me significantly with programming. Considering AI, Data Science, and Machine Learning are only getting more advanced and essential for our lives, I see learning Python as an invaluable asset for our future. I highly recommend this course for everyone, no matter the programming experience.

Its a great start for beginners. All the basic concepts are taught in a simple manner so that anyone can understand. Its the right pace and easy to go with the flow. Helps the people with no programming background get into the field of programming. Its interactive and the tasks are the right amount of tough

For a person who had no previous knowledge in programming whatsoever, this course was really helpful. Along with tutorial videos, quizzes and assignments ...the interviews of some of the pioneers in their own fields of technology really keeps you motivated , not only to keep learning but move ahead in life.

Excellent Course! Great introduction for Python.

Awesome trainer! The teacher not only knows his material, but has a lot of experience working with first time programmers and so knows what errors they are likely to make and what questions they are likely to ask and addresses them all. He is fun to listen to!

it was very nice and helpful but for someone who already the basic of any programming language its not necessary to take this course because this course for those who never done the programming before

Anyway I'm thankful to Coursera for providing such opportunity for student to learn.

Thank You

Amazing course. Never thought learning would be so much fun. This is my first online course and I feel motivated to do more! Coursera has revolutionized the teaching methodology. Special Thanks to Dr.Chuk. you are the reason for my first Python certificate. You are an awesome teacher and inspiring figure.:)

Great course!

Prof Severence is an excellent instructor that does a great job explaining the concepts, answering questions, and providing a bit of humor along the way!

The quizzes are a nice way to check your understanding, and the assignments are just challenging enough to be worth while.

Highly recommended!

Prof Charles Severance made the course interesting. I wasn't a fan of programing hats off to Prof Charles. I am interesting in moving to the next course in Python. I would prefer if we have more than one code assignment so students who want to practice more it will be handy. may be it can be made optional.
