Getting taught the basics in a systematic way. Very good for beginners. Motivating instructor. I hope to continue learning more about python. But now I need a little break, reading dostoyevski. Thanks y'all. Spasiba.

Awesome course! Dr. Chuck is superb as being a teacher...great professor...good analogies, great explanations, thorough and the course is set up with relevant and challenging exercises. Excited to moving to part 2 :)

Great course, I took it to understand the basics of python language, and I am very confident and satisfied with the material that I have learned, the instructor delivery is very smooth and simple. Highly recommended.

Me parece una excelente opción para cualquier persona que no tiene ningún background de programación. Yo sí lo tengo, pero me hubiera encantado que cuando aprendí a programar hubiera sido de esta forma tan intuitiva.

a very good course for those who are just starting coding without any previous knowledge of any programming language. Also very helpful for people like me transitioning from a different programming language to python

An excellent course if anybody wanted to learn python. The Teaching Faculty is exceptional. If anyone want to learn basic's of python programming, I would highly recommend you all to take this course and complete it.

Together with David Malan from Harvard University, Charles Severance is a genius at conveying knowledge in a compact and understandable way. The course is suitable for absolutely everybody, no matter how old you are.

This course was really enjoyable and very easy for the ones who know another programming language. Professor Severance is a great instructor. I'm looking forward to completing the next courses of this specialization.

This course was extremely easy to follow and the instructor was probably the best I've had. Goes into detail and explains all the mechanics so you can understand why you're doing something. Would recommend to anyone!

I had a rough experience with Python before taking this course. But this course has changed it.

Now I am curious to learn more about Python and to improve my knowledge in it.

Thanks Coursera, for this wonderful course.

Excellent introduction to Programming in general and to Python specifically. Dr. Charles approach is very easy to understand and follow. I'll continue with the specialization on my way to develop useful applications.

Very good introduction to programming with python. Really goes in detail through the basics of programming and python. Although it covers only really basic things since there are other courses in this specialization.

I am really great full to the coursera community that they considered me for such a great course which helps in all round development of programming skills, it really teaches you each and everything you need to know.

This was my first online course. It was a very well taught course. Absolutely enjoyed taking it, and I am glad that I took it. Very well-planned course, even for the beginners as it starts from the basics. Loved it!!

Very clear (maybe too clear as for experienced C/C++ programmer), but I want to learn Python! and I find it amusing to work with code on a basic level, what makes my motivation very high. Glad I joined this course :)

The instructor is engaging to listen too. I had already taken another beginner Python course before this one, but I learned a number of things in this class. Most notably, I have a much better understanding of loops.

This is exactly how you want to begin to get your feet wet. Or, if you're like me and haven't touched a programming language in more than 20 years, it is a great chance to begin to explore the advances in the field.

Very properly designed course, never felt left out on any topic throughout the entire course.

It gives the proper introduction to python as a language and generates interest for learning further about this language !!

This course teaches you the basic to python language, from using if, elif, else, creating for and while loops, learning about expressions and variables and types. It is a very good introduction to Python programming.

Loved the lectures and the problems were really challenging as it test my knowledge that I have gathered from the lecture and also I really enjoyed the way Dr. chuck taught ! Altogether It was really nice and helpful

I have taken many intro to python courses and gained little knowledge. This course broke things down simply and helped me to understand the reasoning behind the programming. The instructor is great! Highly recommend.

The material was presented in a very dynamic, incremental, and engaging way. Dr. Severance does a great job at teaching in a way that loops you into thinking to arrive at the solution as opposed to just telling you.

This is the best foundation course I have ever taken for Python. Dr. Chuck was amazing in explaining the details of the course in the most effective way (with some humor in between :-) ) Will be coming back for more!

I've tried multiple introductory coding courses and never been able to stick with any of them. I really love how this course is designed to be taken in small stages so I feel like I'm always accomplishing something.
