get an error when I try to this lesson myself

I am trying to do this lesson as he is teaching. I run into this error when I go to http://localhost:8000/courses/, after setting up everything the way the lesson explains

*** this from the web browser***
Using the URLconf defined in learning_site.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
^courses/ ^course_list
^admin/
^$
The current URL, courses/, didn't match any of these.

Where do I look to fix this error?

from my courses/urls.py file:

urlpatterns = [

    url(r'^course_list', views.course_list),
]

from my learning_site/urls.py file:

urlpatterns = [

    url(r'^courses/', include('courses.urls')),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),

    url(r'^$', views.hello_world )
    ]

Did you import include? in the urls file? If not you should do it like this:

from django.conf.urls import url, include

In your courses urls.py your regex should be r'^$' not r'^course_list'
