The course is an excellent resource for learning the fundamentals of computational thinking. The course structure is comprehensive with effective teaching methods and interactive learning experiences. The auto grader and peer review system provide immediate and personalized feedback respectively. Despite minor drawbacks the course is highly recommended for its practical approach to problem-solving. It’s a shining example of high-quality online education.

The final module, specially the final project are challenging if you have 0 prior coding experience like me. It is totally doable if you rewatch the lectures and/or research a bit on the side to grasp the concepts, took a lot of trial and error, but when the code words, its like duuuh... of course this makes sense.. why it didn't occur to me before.... Overall its a great course!

I really enjoyed the course; however, I feel the last module (week 4 / phyton) does not have enough explanations and examples in order to properly complete the assignments. I had to research on my own and complete phyton trainings at other sites in order to successfully complete the projects. Thanks for the course and I look forward to applying to MCIT.

Great course! The python in week 4 can be incredibly challenging to those who have no prior experince in coding. There are times that it felt like the course didn't properly cover certain functions or code that would have made the assignments much easier. However, the overall instruction and semi-gentile emersion into computer science are excellent.

As a non-computing student, I think this course is one of the best I have taken so far. The professors were really clear in explaining and talking about the concepts. What I love most are the assignments that are present in almost after every lesson and really solidified my understanding of the concepts. Well done!

I am a complete novice but this course is very comprehensive, it given me an excellent foundation in computational thinking and coding skills . I'm very grateful for the opportunity and thanks to our lectures and Coursera for making this course completely free.

Finally Professors that know how to teach over video. Easy to digest examples, study cases with cc explaining how the voice over relates to the theory. It seems the University of Penn has entered the online course market to make a difference.

I really enjoyed this course and fully understood the concepts that were covered in this course. I would recommend this course to people who new to Computer science and want an understanding of Algorithms and Computation thinking.

I recommend this course to everyone who wants to learn about Computation Thinking in an effortless manner. I am delighted with this course. Thanks to UPenn and Coursera for giving me this opportunity.

Content was very fluid and easy to follow, yet challenging enough to give my brain a work out. It helped to introduce me to the proper framework needed to further pursue computer science as a study.

A really well-taught course by astute professors. Its assignments are to the point and not much abstract with good amount of challenging questions especially the last module of the course

Course content is good, graded assignments are good, I just had problems with my assignments in week 4 as I easily became confused with the implementation of all the lessons combined.

An excellent bridge into introductory computer science topics. Professors Susan Davidson and Chris Murphy exposed learners to computer science concepts within everyday problems.

Thoroughly enjoyed the course. If you are new to computer science or need a refresher of the basic concepts you learned in high school / college, this is the perfect course

Found it very instresting, lernt lots since I don't have any previous knowledge about programming or IT. Great experience!

Fun but be ready for week 4. It is where the programming begins and I found it to be the most challenging week!

learned how to apply computational thinking for problem solving through this course

Exceptional learning experience. Will always recommend Coursera to others.

Me gusta mucho lo que se aprende es la base para seguir aprendiendo.

it helped me loads to understand computational thinking.

it was a fun course and had a lot to learn about it

thank you for the great opportunity

A Great Learning Experience

this courses make my life

thank you so much🙏🙏🙏
