Perfect for someone getting introduced to programming. Went through it even though I am an experienced coder as it was part of the specialization - to see if I could find a way to improve th- cant think of a way to improve this!!

I liked the videos. The instructor was clear and helpful. The exercises allowed me to get familiar with the type of codes in each chapter and also let me think logically on each problem. I got more interested in computer science.

Very disarming lectures that don't talk down to you at all. Highly recommended if you haven't needed to program in a while. It very quickly gets you back into the swing of things. Doesn't get into the weeds at all, nice overview.

Best class so far. The class was a beginner class, but really turned into an intermediate class. The instructor was so awesome too. I love Michigan University. I applied in HS, but my grades were not good enough. GO BIG BLUE

Very well paced and easy to understand thanks to the instructor. Keep in mind that if you want to get a deep understanding of the language you will have to use other resourses because almost all explanations are pretty practical

As an Electrical Engineer I found this course easy to follow. I had difficulty with understanding the way loops work which I overcame with this course. Clearly explains the order in which instructions are executed. Very helpful.
