Highly recommended.
Highly recommended for everyone, especially non CS majors jumping into programming!
So, a highly recommended course which anybody would enjoy and gain great knowledge.
Innovative and highly recommended.
Highly recommended.It is truly beginner level, so as one that have already studied Internet protocols (in the early 90's) I feel that I didn't learn many new things, but it was fantastic as a recap.The interviews with Internet pioneers were very insightful.

computer science
Dr. Chuck has created a great course for those interested in learning the basics of Internet History, technology, and security, that is approachable even for those who aren't well versed in computer science.
Great course that taught me a lot about the background of computer science.
If you're willing to dive into technology or computer science then this should be a good intro.
What I got was a history of computer science as well as an explanation of internet technologies and security.
While the latter has been rather slow due to my other studies, I am still excited about computer science.
Definitely interesting for anyone working in a computer science field of any kind.
Excellent course for those who love computer science and want to know more about it.

As usual Charles Severence and University of Michigan are the Best!And this is not for the fact that he is my first teacher of Python (Programing for Everybody), but he is really a talented, smart man with many passion on explaining.
Many many thank Coursera, University of Michigan & the Professor.
I learn internet Basic, History, Evolution and University of Michigan Involvement.
I experienced experts view about internet development and its development issues.Specially I select University of Michigan Courses because My honorable respected Teacher Sir Charles Severs.
To add to that, it's clear that Dr. Chuck (Severance) has put a lot of thought into running a MOOC, and has made several tweaks to the course since its first run (unlike a certain other University of Michigan colleague of his), such as making peer reviews optional and including a special lecture discussing how to do peer reviews and what plagiarism was.

The material begins with the history of computing and the Internet, starting with the code- breaking machines developed during WWII, and ends with the technology that makes the Internet work.

technical aspects
There are 7 units, 4 on history and 3 that deal with the more technical aspects of how the internet works.
This course put that in an historical context, and explained the details of many of the internet technical aspects that I'd assumed and/or taken for granted.
