    I had no background in programming and I am a slow learner. But the way Dr. Chuck explains makes it so easy. Just a tip for other slow learners out there, while Dr. Chuck is explaining, stop the video, read through the example till you understand it, then see if you can write the program on your own without looking at the answer.

    Course was well delivered and well explained. It was easy to refer to lectures for assignments that were due. I liked that it catered to people that have never programmed before, and those that have been exposed to some programming alike. I was surprised by how much I learned and how fast the 7 weeks went by - highly recommend.

    I have previously a bit accustmed with the programming with C++, but learning the basics of Python from Prof. Charles Russell Severance it was a great experience. This guy just makes the programming with python so easy that the learing becomes playful. Thank you Coursera, University of Michigan and Prof. Severance for the course.

    This is an excellent course for someone getting started with programming. The videos are clear and the subject is well described, and the textbook for the course is free. The ratio of videos to exercises is good. If you know another programming language, the course is a bit slow, but… the title did say “Programming for Everyone”.

    Really great class. Dr. Chuck is a great teacher and covered all the areas where studets might have doubts. He was really thinking from the students' side and thought what all doubts could arise and cleared it very well. It was a really great experience. The only thing that felt bad is that the course is too short.That's it!!! :)

    Excellent course, Great Tutor.

    This course is extremely good and well packed for beginners.Compact, yet complete course for python. The way this course is made, students with zero programming language can also catch up with the language. I am really thankful to Coursera and Charles Severance sir for creating this wonderful course.

    I have learnt a lot how to write program and execute different codes. The course is an introduction to me and I need to swell my skill of python programming for advanced statistical analysis and remote sensing image processing and analysis such as AI, deep learning, and machine learning. Therefore, I need to take other courses.

    The best course I've taken on Coursera so far. I appreciate the natural lecture approach as opposed to the word-for-word scripted lectures in other courses. Dr. Chuck's approach to teaching programming would be helpful to those with zero coding experience, and is useful to those with more experience looking to review the basics.

    It was just a great experience! Dr. Severance has made it easy and fun to start with python as my first programming language! Although I've never felt it's stressful or "demanding" but I was surprise how much I have learned at the end of this course! It goes really smooth and easy through the different principles of programming!

    This course is extremely helpful for people people who want to get an basic idea about python without any prior experience in programming. I still remember my days when I used to byheart program codes without understanding concept. I thought it is very difficult for me to learn programming but this course changed my perspective.

    Dr. Chuck Severance did a great job introducing Python to people without any previous programming experience. The Coursera format works well with its 10 minutes video classes and auto-graded programming assignments. I now feel comfortable with Python and look forward taking the next class (Python Data Structures) in this series.

    I was able to grasp concepts in an easy but very powerful way. I feel I'm able to control things now, to know exactly what line of coed does. Surely this is thanks of Python's simplicity but most of all it is thanks to Mr. Severance whose instructions and examples are enlightening! Looking forward to go on, to take the next step

    Amazing course, I really love your lectures, very entertaining and everything was explained in a way it was easy to understand but the explanation was not shallow. Extra material at the end of each lesson was also great, it taught me the history of python and how python evolving at the moment. Thank you for this wonderful course

    Before this course I have covered many other python courses, but this course provides IN-DEPTH explanations for python basics, which made me better understand how python actually works. What is also good about this course is that there is no ready answers for assignments!!!, which is really good if you want to master it yourself

    I'm very glad I enrolled dr.Chuck courses - they're not too simple, not too hard for the first time.

    You're need something interesting for the begining. Something that will remind you that learning is interesting.

    Dr.Chuck courses damn fit for this purpose.

    Thank you, dr.Chuck, Teaching staff of University of Michigan and Coursera.

    Well-designed course for true beginners taught by an established computer science expert and academic. The instructor is clearly enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge, and he provides thorough explanations and demonstrations. Reading along with the course text – in addition to viewing the lectures on Coursera – is advisable.

    I’ve finished Goggle’s IT Automation with Python, but I read very good reviews about this course.  What a great surprise.  There were little things Dr. Chuck explained that clarified very important and basic concepts.  Don’t get me wrong:  Google’s courses are great, but this course complements the other one in an amazing way.
