Dr. Chuck is such a good teacher. He made everything make sense in a way that not many others can. Furthermore, this is the only programming course that has made 2me feel confident in my ability to code thus far. Overall, it was a great course.

very simple to understand for anyone who have minimum computer knowledge, but it might become some what difficult to people u have no idea what a computer is, but don't worry keep learning with real time examples you'll get through it.

THANK YOU

Truly a python course for everybody I must say that even a guy without a CS background can take this course and get started with python. The lectures are very beginners friendly and made for you to get started with python in just a 2 or 3 weeks

It's the best way to start programming I've found so far. I mean for the very beginners, it helps to convert human thinking to the way computer thinking. This course does help me understand the principle of programming much better than before.

This course gave me a meaningful picture of what is going on in Python, and I find it different from lots of other online courses on Python out there. Plus, the instructor is a cool guy, that makes learning more enjoyable. He is not a robot :)

This course has exposed me to the basics of the Python programming language.

I have tried to learn three or more programming languages but

I made it this time. Thanks to our Instructor Charles Severance, Coursera and

the University of Michigan.

Awesome explanation from Dr Charles although I did feel like the exercises were more complex than the examples given, my feeling is that it wouldn't hurt to just do examples as complicated as the exercises , other than that, it was all amazing!

Overall the course is great and the teacher is amazing.

Suggestions: might need a video to talk about the last assignment, coz even after I got it done, there are still some confusion, and really hope there could be one more video to explain it.

A highly encouraging course for people who have not interacted with code before. Professor Chuck's lectures were both concise, engaging yet professional. I will definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants a crash course on programming.

Great course for beginners. Not applicable for intermediate programmers but the video with the creator of Python, was awesome and very inspiring. The instructor was so cool. I love the course but the quiz and assignments seems really very easy.

I will definitely enroll to next level of this course. I spent 3 days to finish this "getting started" course without drop off. This showed the value of this course that a. bring me in the gate; b. keep me motivated; c. wider my view on coding.

Highly recommend this course to everyone who has little coding experience. The content is fundamental and useful. Love Dr. Charles's teaching method so much! And you can also attain great help from TA through attending weekly discussion board.

I didn't buy the certificate, but I really love this course!

Dr. Charles Severance explained python in a very interesting way so that we can understand it easily.

I will continue to other python courses he taught and enjoy my programming journey!

Amazingly simple (too simple at times) and easy to understand. This instructor is clearly passionate and knowledgeable about the subject, and makes the examples as funny and interesting as possible. I learned a lot and enjoyed every assignment.

Excelente curso. Las explicaciones y los ejercicios son geniales. Es muy satisfactorio avanzar y sentir que estás entendiendo, aunque sea difícil de explicar qué es lo que estás entendiendo. La sensación es parecida a aprender un nuevo idioma.
