Great introductory course for beginners. Thanking Professor Charles Russell Severance for coordinating this course. I really learned a lot. I really appreciate your endeavors. This course proves anybody can learn to program in Python, all they need to know are basic mathematics and a little bit of logical thinking.

This is a really good course and most importantly it starts from basic. Anyone with no programming experience will go through quite easily. Bonus videos at the end of every week add to the content and quality of the course. Thank you professor for teaching the course and making it an amazing experience of learning.

This was by far the best Python course I have taken for absolute beginners. A lot of other courses begin with the basics but suddenly jump to more complex concepts after a week or two, but this course progresses beautifully for an absolute novice and is truly 'Programming for Everybody: Getting started with Python'

Wonderful course conducted by Dr. Charles Severance where he has explained the Python concepts in such a lucid manner that even people having no prior coding experience will find it very easy to learn.
This course is definitely among the finest examples of pedagogy in programming. Thank you Dr. Charles and Coursera.

This course started very easy but ending slightly challenging so it was a perfect introduction to Python as well as general programming for me. My background is limited to writing lots and lots of SQL but always on the analytics side, not on the infrastructure side. Looking forward to continuing the specialization!

For beginners, it is very good. Dr. Chuck explains start explaining the world of Python in simple terms and with a kind of fun atmosphere. Which is good because you will not get board. I was able to finish the 7 weeks course in 2 days! It was fun indeed and leaves you with a feeling of "let's keep learning more".

If you want to know the basics of the python, then this is your platform. I just want to give you one advice, all the answers of the assignments are available on the internet. so don't cheat, you will not gain knowledge if you cheat. apart form that the course is informative and gives you basic knowledge of python

I cannot rave enough about Charles Severance. He makes learning the language fun and goes at the perfect pace--and he's entertaining! I found myself giggling as he was working through some explanations.
This is THE quintessential class everyone should take before diving into tougher sections of Python. Thank you!!!

Very easy and basic programming friendly for all beginners. Actually it only takes about an hour for the courses and assignments per week. I had a little bit of java programming experience in high school but I think this is really good and relax for a programming review and start to learn new programming language.

First finished course on Coursera! I wanted to learn Python some years ago but did not find the time, the motivation and the right teacher... Charles is a great teacher and I really like how he oresents the concepts and the community. This course is one of the best I had as a MOOC (and I did more than 15 already).

Dr Chuck is a great instructor. Keeps us entertained throughout his lectures. Got help from teaching staff in the discussion forums very quickly, and was really happy about it. This course covers everything from the very basics, so anyone with zero programming knowledge can also take it! Thanks to the entire team!

Outstanding! Charles Severance is an extremely dedicated and passionate professor who makes you embrace Python3 like an entertaining activity; The rhythm of the lessons is accurate and the difficulty increases gradually from the basic programming skills up to the initial data structure; A must for learning python!

A great intro to Python! Professor Chuck explains everything in a clear way and makes it enjoyable. I just wish all the assignments had worked exercises because it takes some time getting used to the idea of writing your first bit of code. Nonetheless, this is a great start and I look forward to the second course!

I've tried to learn Python for years! Always starting and stopping...there is something about Dr. Chuck and Coursera that has helped me go farther than any previous effort. The learning is challenging and very rewarding! Thank you! The PDF of Python for Informatics by Charles Severance helped reinforce the videos.

The course as well as the course contents are perfect. Dr. Chuck explains all the concepts really well. Whether one has done programming earlier or not, this course will give you an insight of what programming means. I would highly recommend this course to everyone who wants to learn Python. Go for it . Good Luck!

This journey has given me a strong foundation in Python, covering key concepts like variables, conditionals, loops, and functions. Excited to continue learning and applying my skills to real-world projects! 🚀 A big thank you to Dr. Charles Severance (Dr. Chuck) and Coursera for this amazing learning experience.

Knew absolutely nothing coming into this. The method of teaching is great and had me thinking in different ways I normally don't think in. I'm no expert yet but I can at least look at any code and understand what I'm looking at and be able to slowly work on it. Will be doing the next parts of the course for sure.

First of all the instructor is great and his way of teaching is awesome. None of the lectures is boring and everything was so well explained.
The greatest thing about this course is that in this course the language is taught in such a simple way that even a person that has never used a computer can understand it.

Really love that there is a textbook that goes along with the course. I like to read the textbook along with the lectures and I really like having a reference for review in the months and years to come. Without a textbook we have nothing to come back to one or two years later when we want to refresh our memories.

Very well structured to give a basic understanding of python. Good ratio of worked examples to assessments, where the assessments force you to apply knowledge gathered throughout the videos and not simply copy worked examples. Instructor is very likeable and you can tell he is very passionate about his profession

This is the ideal course for a beginner. As I already knew the basics of C programming some of the concepts was already clear to me. Still I would recommend this course if you already know another programming language and trying to learn python. However in that case you will be able to complete the course early.
