I loved it! Dr. Chuck is extraordinary in his explanations. A great way to start on Python programming. As a person that hasn't programmed in years it was an encouraging and educational experience :-)

The professor, as promised, is comprehensive and makes things easy for even those without any background in CS or programming. But he stretches a bit too much in his zeal to explain everything.

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.
