Ratings and Reviews for Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python)

Круто

The course offered by Coursera and the University of Michigan is really well designed and structured. The instructor Charles Severance really made it easy to learn. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in learning Python programming.

Excellent!

this course was good and easy to understand

On the plus side: - Videos are generally short and to the point. - Quizzes are enjoyable and very very useful to double check your own progress. - The speaking style of the teacher is, in general, fairly straightforward and never boring. - Teaching staff answers quickly in the discussion forum. On the minus side: - The teacher generally writes over the slides without adding any value to their content (actually creating some confusion). - He occasionally introduces a new subject with code that includes other subjects (i.e., loop lessons code includes lists, and lists are never fully explained as they're not in the scope of this course) and/or can lead to wrong assumptions (i.e., most of the slides offered for loops include lists in the code, but I found out at the very end that lists are not strictly needed to run loops). - Sometimes, the exercises imply an extra logical effort and the default code in the autograder can unleash confusion: if on one hand I am a supporter of tricky questions and critical thinking to stimulate and challenge the learning process, I find that this stage should happen once the knowledge has been consolidated and not during early exercises. When plenty of learners call for help in the forum, often about the very same mistake (and the teaching staff answers with nearly copy-paste answers) this calls for a review of the exercise. - I fail to understand the purpose of the "Office hours" videos, which do not give any Python knowledge. Nevertheless, I still think this is a solid introductory course for beginners/non-programmers that is worth getting. While I am not a programmer, I can certainly say that I no longer feel a complete idiot! Thanks a lot, Dr. Chuck!

I would highly recommend Python for Everybody to anyone looking to learn programming with Python. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced programmer looking to learn a new language, this course has everything you need to get started and build a solid foundation in Python programming.
