amazing course for the very basics of learning programming language, i would recommend everyone looking to learn programming from the very basics, this is the only course on the internet which starts from literally scratch and takes you to a higher level step by step

Very didact, clear, friendly with the student and at the same time doesn't make you feel they are treating you like a dumb person such as in other courses. Soy really really thanks to Dr. Charles Severance for this great course. I will immediately start the next one.

This was a great way to get started with Python! The instructor adds just enough fun but also teaches very well. The assignments are also a great way to cement the concepts learned. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to dip their toes into Python.

This course is good for any background, if you are an engineering, scientist, business guy, ect.

The information is provided in a way that everyone will understand, and have a willing to learn this language. I strongly recommended if you want to start to learn python.

Everything was clearly explained. The course is not only helpful, but entertaining as well. Prof.Severance managed to spice it up with his good sense of humour. It definitely makes this course more personal and easier to comprehend. I will continue to the next level!

what else than : print("For everybody").

I wasn't sure to succeed, so I decided to learn python both through Michigan and Rice universities. Their approach are different and the "LITERACY"( from my opinion), is very good at Michigan. #EasyToFollow#FailFast#learnFaster

I truly loved learning about python code and the programming concept. It was a refreshing experience as I had already had a base in C and C++. But joined this course to learn python. But python is a simple code that it reduces the complexity faced in other languages.

Super great beginner course for Python. The lectures are easy to understand and follow. The assignments stick closely to what were talked about during the lectures. Besides, I pretty like the 'Bonus chapters' of interviews and office hours at the end of each chapter.

I really like this course， this is my first time to know and write code, as a first time learner, this course provided me a lot of basic information and explain to me details, also allow me to practice on my own based on assignment and quiz. I really enjoy it. Thanks

This is a really great class, you must be sure to follow along in the free book, don't just do the graded assignments, there are assignments in the book as well that will allow you to hone your skills.

Don't worry the book is free to download. I have mine on my ipad.

Excellent! Easy language for non-programmers as me. I'm thrilled as I am keen on programming. And this course is just perfect to me. And the way they are 'spreading knowlodge' is fantastic. They make sure to give you all information and access that you need to do it.

I strongly recommend this course to anyone, who wants to get into Python programming. The pace is slow enough even for people with moderate logical thinking. Everything is really simplified and well explained, and the support to questions in the forum is very good.

This was the most enjoyable and frustrating online course I have taken. The tasks provided and tips were helpful all the way through, although all the syntax errors during my studying often made my hair stand up. All in all, a very well put together course.

Thank you

Great! I had no trouble coming in blind to the subject. Would highly recommend this course to anyone that would like to learn regardless of their background. All recourses are provided and instructions are clear enough to follow regardless of prior Python knowledge.

It is very informative and well designed course. I had a bit of previous experience with Python and some of the stuff they teach was not new for me. However what this course helped me was that I mastered the "while" and "for" loops which is the next level of coding.

Truly inspiring and very friendly for a novice. This course helped me grasp some basic ideas about computer and programming. Dr. Chuck as instructor is brilliant, humorous and I enjoyed the learing experience. I would like to continue with the Python Data Structure.

I am very thankful to Mr. Chuck Severance. After this course, I become more courageous about programming and spend a lot of time with it...Chuck's Sir way of teaching is the best type of teaching and his teaching is the reason that makes the course very interesting.

It's a great experience to learn a new language python with hand-on experience. The quizzes and assignments are amazing. While preparing a solution to the assignment I learn the python in more depth.

Thanks to the instructor and the entire team of Coursera.

Thank You!

Dear Dr Charles,

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It was never a boring class. I have learned a lot, not only about the concept, but also on how to teach the basics of programming, and how to be creative in constructing assessments/quizzes. Thank you, Coursera .

This was a very great start for me, in python. Even though I am from a mechanical engineering side , its was very much worth it to have learnt something new. I will surely continue learning. And a special thanks for the instructor and for the University of Michigan.

Excellent course! Lectures are concise and easy to understand. The course exercises are not difficult but challenging enough to require you to think through the problem. The Professor is knowledgable and conveys concepts very well. I am very glad I took this course.

I enjoyed this easy-to-follow introduction to Python and the refresher it gave me. I haven't written code in many years, so this was a really great reminder of what I loved about programming, while also introducing me to Python and its peculiarities. Thanks Chuck.

Ajudou a entender melhor a lógica de programação além de preencher lacunas existentes do meu estudo individual. Ótimo para quem é novo na área e não tem idéia por onde começar ou para quem quer aprender por hooby. Principalmente para pessoas sem conhecimento prévio.

Loved the course: it gives the very basics of Python in an easy and understandable way, and Chuck Severance has got an amazing personality, which adds a lot to the course. The estimated completion time is definitely overestimated: you need a week max to complete it.

This course was great it teaches you the fundamentals of programming and take's it step by step. The professor even takes the time to show you the basics of how to save a file and why its so important to have this knowledge. Thank you so much professor and Coursera.
