Guest says:
A bit different from your typical Python course. This one is geared really towards educators who know a bit of Python and want to pick up object-oriented programming. Very specific, I know. I didn't know this going in (I chose this course because I had a Raspberry Pi B) and found out pretty quickly it wasn't meant for me. However, I knew some Python and decided to stick it out. It's actually quite good for students in my opinion and I think Laura should consider tweaking this course to create a version designed for students. You can learn an incredible amount from making a choose your own adventure text game, apparently.
