I just wanted to tell you that I'm enjoying the Python for Absolute Beginners course. This is the first time I find a course that I truly like and understand. I loved the visualizing part with PythonTutor you included. That's definitely a game changer for me and is the type of add on examples I look for in courses.
Compared to some of the other online courses I've taken, I really like that I know I'm learning from someone well known in the community and I believe I'm not just learning how to code, but coding best practices. I don't know if I'm explaining this right, but as an example: A few of the online classes I've taken haven't had me put the code into functions and then call them in a main(): function, for example.
Michael's explanations and code are perfect. I now understand generators and **kwargs which I'd always struggled with. Priceless.
One of the challenges of self-paced online learning is if you get stuck it can be hard to get help to get yourself unstuck.
That's why we offer live, online office hours. You drop in and join a group of fellow students to chat about your course progress and see solutions via screen sharing.
Just visit your account page and click the office hours tab to see the upcoming office hour schedule.
