Very good course to start your programming journey with. It's very important that you don't move on to the next chapter until you have read, taken notes, and understood the same chapter in the book. READ THE BOOK, very important, video lectures explain well, but the book covers more.

The level of teaching is unique! The teacher is amazing and i believe is the best course to start learning programming! Python is very interesting, with a lot of potentials and i think is a very good start for programming skills and deep understanding of how languages are structured.

My first online course that I completed. I dedicate this accomplishment to Dr. Severance. I looks him as Prof. Snip of Harry Potter who teaches us the language of snake. He is one of the best professor I met. Anyone who is new in programming I would recommend this course very likely.

Very helpful course for people who recently started in the Python and programming world. Thank you very match to Dr Chuck. GREAT teacher. And thank you to Michigan University. I will try to achieve the 5 cours of the specialization.

Thank you for offering such good quality courses

Very entertaining. Classical way of teaching. I like it very much. And "Thank You Coursera" for sponsoring it to me. I would like to learn more if get financial assistance. I hope Coursera will allow me to learn and upgrade my abilities with best of knowledge they had.

Thank you ALL.

Fue un curso sencillo pero completo, con todo lo básico que hay que saber para empezar a aprender Python. Cumplió todas mis expectativas y me ayudo mucho a recordar lo que sabia anteriormente de Python y algún tema que no había visto. Pienso continuar sin duda con el resto de cursos.

great content ! great teaching style ! I like the way the teaching staff has a flow of contents one after the another.

just one feedback, w can increase the number of problems in the assignment which will give us a better grasp of the learned concepts and help us further in the course

For someone who never got in contact with programming I think you pass fast by the contente, but you have all you need in here, you just need to pay more attention to the class and do a lot of exercises. For me it was a great review of basics and particularities of python and syntax.

The best online course I've taken so far! The instructor does an amazing job of breaking down the basic principles of Python in an easy to understand way! The forum mentors do a great job if you're stuck as well! Finally, the course assignments and auto-grade tools were fantastic!

This course is pretty well taught. As one may infer from its name, is an introduction to the Python language. The professor gives clear examples for all the key concepts he presentes. I would totally recommend this course for anyone who doesn't have prior expirience with programming.

Um curso em ritmo lento. Muito tranquilo, muito legal. Ajuda a pegar o básico de Python sem ter dor de cabeça. Os resultados rápidos e tarefas (fáceis) são um estímulo a continuar aprendendo. Gostei, nota máxima. Espero que os próximos cursos deste integradão sejam mais desafiadores.

The course has been designed holistically to allow even a beginner to understand each of the concept slowly and gradually and build upon the skills to write practical codes. I thank University of Michigan and Dr. Severance for providing this course and Coursera for making this happen

This course is great!!! It's my first time to learn a computing language online, although I've worked in IT industry for 3 years. LOL I guess today all people need to pick up programme languages and PYTHON is super easy for beginners. Hope to meet Charles in Melbourne in the future!

Thank you Dr. Chuck!

It was very rewarding to participate in this foundational course. It gave me the confidence in programming which I lacked before entering this course. Short-to-the point, easily understandable, and challenging assignments, this is what I can say about this course.

I am really happy that I took this course. The professor Charles Severance is an excellent teacher who teaches with such simplicity and positive attitude that we tend to study further. I finished the course 5 week course in less than 5 days because of the interesting pedagogy. Thanks

Fantastic course, Well structured and to the point and informative. I didnt know anything about python before this course, now i have a full grasp of how powerful python can be and i have an understanding of the language. Thank you for putting in the time and effort into this course.

Very great for someone with no programming experience. Could consider making a course specially for people who have programming skills but wish to learn python. So possibly a course on teaching us the syntax and perhaps the frequently used key words or operators but in python syntax.

Before enrolling for this course, had a lot of apprehensions whether could complete this course successfully or not. Was able to complete this course in three days. The instructor-led video tutorials, followed by assessments and graded app have made this course an excellent choice.

Todo o curso foi muito bom, amei.

uma sugestão: Ter as regras e instruções como texto, para ler, pois isso permite fazer anotações e resumos a parte, para uma melhor compreensão.

darei inicio aos outros módulos, estou muito feliz e empolgada com essa nova jornada de estudos. Obrigada!

Very easy course to understand and learn from. The assignments are rather simple and that's how they should be when introducing anyone into programming for the first time. If you're looking for a course that introduces you to python in a seamless manner, then this course is perfect!

I have just started programming and I was an absolute beginner. This course has taught me a lot about about how computers work and what we can do with computers. It is safe to say this course has broaden my horizon. Also, Amazing teacher! I would love to meet with Dr. Chuck one day.

i have seen a issue with the code checking thing ,everyone has there own style of writing the code , so when someone writes the code and if the code is using all the concepts asked in the question , logically sounds good and output is produced , he should be awarded with the grade .

I studied python earlier also but nobody taught it better.I am a poor student from India and i was not having the money to complete the course but i am happy that coursera provided me this course for free.I will keep learning from coursera.

Thanks coursera team

Excellent approach to explain concepts...liked the example of the note on dog to explain the reserved word in python and the approach used to explain how the mind works to identify the greatest number by popping up one number at a time on the screen. Had a great learning experience.

This Course is what you need if you don’t know nothing about programming, the Dr Severance will take on the way of the programming in an easy, interesting and entertained way, besides, at the end of every week are some perfect resources to motivate you to keep studying and learning.
