    Easy to follow and not boring. The instructor breaks things down in simple form. The Coursera platform is sometimes a bit quirky but otherwise the content in this course I thought was quite excellent.

    Great introduction to Python and programming as a whole. Everything is broken down making it easy to understand. Had zero programming experience before and this class made it easy and fun to get into.

    Had an amazing experience in learning this course. Great effort by the Professor. He explained the topics in detail. Python is an essential course which required proper training in order to learn it. I was lucky enough to learn the course from Coursera By University of Michigan.

    The Material was very easy to digest and understand which I found to be really very helpful and I really enjoyed how the class challenged me as opposed to just being a code along. You will definitely be seeing more of me!. Big Thanks to Mr.Severance on a well put together course.

    The course is good despite some troubles in solving the problem. I wish the course coordinator providing some downloadable PDF lecture notes for student reference so that we can catch up the course without having to re-watch the video, in case internet connection gets cut off.

    I loved the content and helped me a great deal to finally be able to program without crashing my computer with infinite loops. I'll definitely take the specialization on programming and data analysis.Professor Charles Severance is the best, i hope i can be as good as him one day.

    The course has been explained beautifully and it is easy to maintain attention in the lectures as Professor Severance knows how to keep students focused by cracking random jokes in between. I am thankful for this course and looking forward to starting the next course in the bunch

    This is a great course! Although I had learnt python when I was an undergraduate geology student, now I could learn a lot of concepts and details about programming that I did not know.

    Congratulations Mr. Charles Severance, your passion and dedication made this course a great one!

    Suitable for the first time learner of Python, even with someone who doesn't have any programming background. After I passed the test 5.2, I don't realize I have finished all the courses and gained my certificate! I will continue on further advanced classes of Python on Coursera.

    The course is totally worth one's time. Through his exceptional teaching ability, Dr. Charles is able to simplify the topic so that even a non-programmer would understand the fundamentals of the language. The quiz and assignments surely made sure that we understood the concepts.

    Mr Chuck (The instructor of this course) is just awesome for the beginners and leveraging to the expert level. Despite, being so much educated he teaches like he's teaching to a 5-year old kid.Moreover, the interview with Mr Guido Van Rossum was just awesome and inspirational.!!

    As a computer Science student i am learning many languages, this course helped me a lot and cleared all my doubts. I would strongly recommend this course for those who are willing to study python from basics. Also, it was a great journey with professor Charles Russell Severance.

    I really enjoyed it! I'm quite new to this, but I had no problem understanding the content whatsoever. It took me some time to complete the assignment, but you have to be patient and keep in mind that you might mess it up 10 times before you get it right, and that's programming!

    I think this python course is very helpful for me which taught me basics about python scripting. Indeed, I am a Environmental Science student and working knowledge of python is very important in this field. Overall, I am very thankful for providing financial aid for this course.

    This is a great introduction to the Python programming language! You really don't need to know anything about computers or math to get through the course. Just get started, spend some time with it, and the end will come before you know it! I definitely enjoyed taking this class.

    After this first course of five you will definitely have an understanding of what python is and how to utilize the language to begin interacting with it. Coming from zero knowledge prior to the course I feel confident enough to move forward and begin learning different concepts.
