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

This is a great course for Beginners. We are taught Python in a very structured and user friendly manner.

I loved the first course so far, it was very easy going! I can't wait to start on the second course! :)

Great for starters!

This was the second Coursera Course I took. Compare to me first one, this one was great. It was much easier to get through. I finished it in about a weekend. Given that, that's what I believe was its drawback for me, also. Now, I will say, what I may have been seeking, or my expectations, I may get in my next Python course. But, I simply felt the level of difficulty or rigor of the entire course could have been increased a step or two. As in, have more HW programs to do, or longer HW programs to do. I do believe Dr. Chuck did a good job. I do believe he held us back a bit, especially in the first couple of weeks. But, he did a great job at preparing us for the HW problems. His instruction was very pertinent to the HW. There were also 1-2 extra videos at the end of each chapter, which was a good break. They weren't "computer instruction" nor problems to do. They were there more for "computer entertainment" but definitely was pertinent to the course. We probably didn't need them, or could have used shorter ones. In short, would I take another course from Dr. Chuck and from his group at Michigan? Most definitely.

Great explanation for basic python tools

amazing course

Very good for beginners!

Very excellent course!!! I like it!!!!

The very first course is well organized so that you won't have much problems if you follow the instructions strictly and can learn well and thus form a solid foundation about Python. Besides, Dr. Chuck is very humorous and teaches well. What's more, he gives students like me who has none program experience before a lot of encouragement which is very vital for us to build confidence in learning program. I guess it is my favorite point about this introductory course.

cool~
