I'd say it's done better than most schooling platforms I've been on. The AI tutor is a helpful ally(especially for one who sometimes finds 'emself completely missing the point for reasons I have yet to know), and thus far, I've enjoyed the experience! For me, this was my first course taken, so completing it and not have been tortured beyond comprehension is a sweet bonus!

This course was a great way for me to get back into programming. Even though I knew some coding basics, I had never used Python before and hadn't done any coding in years. This course covered all the basics, provided valuable resources, and got me started with Python.

great points, and easy to learn for the most part. there were a couple times where the assignment kind of just.. let me go and try to figure stuff out, which is not always the best approach, and there was one lesson that relied on a google search because it didn't cover what you were supposed to do (or have ever, so the spellbook didn't help)

It's a great, I took many courses for learning python, but this one is one of the best, because I like gamify of this course. Nice tool if you don't know, ask Boots. Recommended

Overall solid introduction to Python, although very basic and fundamental. Some of the quizzes feel useless and should really be replaced by more practice opportunities.

This is a very robust course. One of the things I appreciate is that when asking Boots, the custom AI, it does not hand out an answer. EVER. It helps you think through why your code isn't working. ALSO, it explains why it IS working! Super handy. I also love the discord available with the platform overall. This is missing from so many learning communities. It's a huge bonus. I unreservedly recommend both the Python course and the platform overall.
