Very good introduction to basic programming. Very easy for beginners in python who have already some programming background - but still extremely useful to quickly and efficiently learn python basics.

Very good and easy-understanding for raising interests in the programming area! I didn't realise it is so cool doing programming when I was in university! Should have met this course earlier!

This course had awesome examples and was very good for teaching the basic syntax of Python. I'd highly recommend taking it for beginners and even people who already have programming experience.

I found this course very interesting. From a zero knowledge of Python I finally managed to complete the whole course in about 3 weeks. The teacher is an example of how a good teacher should be.

This is the second or third python class I have taken and by far the best. I took it as a refresher, but I really appreciated the online textbook and the first section about intro to computing.

Enjoyed the class especially since Dr. Severance is the best teacher I've had in a very long time.

Too bad he was not teaching when I was in college I would have transferred to Univ of Michigan.

Very good course. Although targetted for absolute beginners, it was fun to learn python and looking forward for the next course. Would have preferred more challenging assignments and exercises.

I think this course is quite easy for beginners. The instructor explain everything clearly, and I can review them by finishing the assignment. I believe I can write some simple Python code now.

A good introductory course. Lots of time spent explaining basic concepts with good examples. Be sure to get the book (free pdf available) and read the chapters to help you with the assignments.

The lectures are clear and easy to follow. The assignments are interesting, challenging, and actually want the student to pass and understand, instead of being tricky barriers to stop progress.
