Very good basic course that, as an already experienced programmer, I found to be instructive and engaging. For the beginner programmer, it will teach most basics and for anyone with experience it will reinforce those basics and teach important style tips and good coding practices

Excellent and highly recommended! Great professors who are passionate about the subject they are teaching and who have a genuine interest in their students' success! Looking forward to the next course in the Specialization, as well as the Fundamentals of Computing Specialization!

The instructors presented the essential elements of Python in a concise and effective manner. I'm looking forward to the next course in the specialization.

They presented the material without being verbose or going off tangent--this type of instruction is in the minority in MOOC.

Although I struggled with parts of the practice assignments and the project, I still rate this a very high 5. The content flow and the instructors' delivery were great, especially for a beginner like myself. This course has motivated me to continue learning Python programming.

This course was very informative and helped me to learn new Python topics/brush up on concepts I had forgotten from other languages. Scott and Joe are really great, and very funny! The class itself was good but having them be the instructors made it all the more enjoyable.

Great way to get in touch with Python! I've learned a lot during these course. The workload is not too much so that you can finish it in between two weeks or less. Haven't had any experiences before but now I am motivated to dive into more python programming skills.

I really like the design of the course with the mix of videos, reading material as well as sample exercise. Very helpful to learn and retain the knowledge. Both instructors are really good covering all topics. Final project is good to exercise the knowledge learnt.

An excellent course! instructors very clear and concise in their explanations. Very good examples and reinforcement exercises. Very challenging final projects. It is very easy to understand the concepts and the programming ... thank you very much Scott and Joe!

A great course that helps me get the essential knowledge of coding. I really appreciate a lot for the professors for their kind work and the great exercises they designed. By the way, the arrangement of the module and the way professors teach are also amazing.

It was fun learning this course. Amazing teachers and well-structured course. Would recommend many coding-enthus to go out for this course as it will help a lot learning it from scratch and also help refreshing the concepts to those who've lost that flair.

This course is good especially the tasks you have to do BUT it is not for absolute beginners. I could get the best of this course because I had former knowledge in the essentials of programming. Great effort though, I am really grateful for the mentors.

This course gives a very detailed explanation on introductory level python. I had some experience with python before and this course helps me with understanding the nuances with the language. It is also very helpful in developing good programming habits.

I abandon learning from the other interactive python specialization. This is the second time to attempt at learning Python. I think the instructor adjust the course to perfectly fit my need. This is awesome. I feel so confident to be fluent in Python.

Really,it is a great course to be frank...Both the instructors ( Scott and Joe ) were awesome and their way of approach towards programming is amazing in one word means exemplary...Highly recommended to take this course especially for beginners... :)

IT was some what difficult in submitting the project it took more than 2 days solve so i took help from my friend to solve it it was haveing very few errors so then i finished.Reallyi ask my friends to join this course it is perfect.And thank to ALL.

This course really made me learn the python essentials. The final test in the Week4 really tests learners' coding caliber. I really enjoyed trough out the course. Professors handled the basics carefully to penetrate them into the learner's mind

The tutors were amazing! Guided very nicely from the basics to advanced. Tips given at the end of each week were very helpful.. Only the assessment section needs some improvement where sometimes the correct response was evaluated incorrect.

I really enjoyed the course content, delivery, and instruction. This was my first experience on Coursera, and though I have no other coursera classes to compare to, I learned a ton and feel very comfortable working in Python now.

I loved the fact that everything covered was needed to complete the final project. It's frustrating when you have a final project but were never taught in the class how to do it. This class was the opposite of that frustration!

A very well taught course for beginners. Also I must say, it is a good brush up as well for the experts. Moreover, the way Professor Scott Rixner & Joe Warren taught, kept me energetic and engaged during the course. Thank you .

this is my first ever course from coursera and i preety much enjoyed it and thanks to the proffessors learned a lots of basic concepts and i figured out the coding styles and naming of global and local variables in correct way

Es un excelente curso, no tenía conocimientos de Python y me ayudó mucho a iniciar con el aprendizaje, incluso a mejorar las técnicas y recomendaciones en la programación a las cuales en ocasiones las dejamos un poco a un lado

The course is well designed for beginners. For people with prior programming background ,the pace might be a little bit slow. I was expecting to learn more data structure and python specific features when taking this course.

Great first course in Python. Covered a lot of fundamental elements. I had only a little programming background, but learned a lot. Quizzes and Final exam were challenging, but with patience, can be completed successfully.

Excellent course, teaches you python in an entertaining manner. Trains you in writing code in professional manner and trains you in documenting the code in a good way while making sure you are familiar with pitfalls as well.
