This course introduces the basics of Python 3, including conditional execution and iteration as control structures, and strings and lists as data structures. You’ll program an on–screen Turtle to draw pretty pictures. You’ll also learn to draw reference diagrams as a way to reason about program executions, which will help to build up your debugging skills. The course has no prerequisites. It will cover Chapters 1–9 of the textbook “Fundamentals of Python Programming,” which is the accompanying text (optional and free) for this course. The course is for you if you’re a newcomer to Python programming, if you need a refresher on Python basics, or if you may have had some exposure to Python programming but want a more in–depth exposition and vocabulary for describing and reasoning about programs. This is the first of five courses in the Python 3 Programming Specialization. The mission of the University of Michigan is to serve the people of Michigan and the world through preeminence in creating, communicating, preserving and applying knowledge, art, and academic values, and in developing leaders and citizens who will challenge the present and enrich the future.

This course was easy to follow and it’s obvious from the thoroughness of the interactive notebook the professors have taken the time to really plan out the material. I have learned more than I expected in just a month.

Programming seemed like magic or something unnecessarily complex to me. However, I decided to try and learn something about it. A close friend recommended Python 3 as a great starting language. This course was a perfect start. The interactive textbook is amazing. I also recommend downloading some software on your PC as well as it will provide you with additional tools for tinkering with your code. The proscribed 1–hour limits on the tests were too short for me, but that is more due to me being relatively new to programming. The tasks themselves (even the most complex ones) take a few minutes at max if you know what you are doing.

Very interactive course!!.
Jorge S –
All in all it is an excellent course, even for experienced programmers. If you have programmed in other languages, the concepts will be very familiar. The course is very well organized and provides you with the essentials. If you plan on taking other courses with the University of Michigan, it gives you a good opportunity to experience the Runestone Interactive environment. The only complaint I have is that the instructors work through the problems in the text before offering the student the opportunity to attempt them. It almost feels as though you’re cheating when you work through the problems, because you already know the answer.

Christoph M –
I can recommend you this course without reservations. The interactive course material is well done and challenging, and the sympathetic presenters explain things well. This course gives you access to the material of the University of Michigan itself. Not all of it is required to complete the course, but I recommend to do the extra work because programming is all about practice.
