12/13/2024		The lectures are certainly boring, but this class is structured so that you can get a good grade even if you don't fully memorize every single miniscule detail about writing code. In the labs, the TA explains to you the correct answers and why they are correct by the end of the lab, and for the homeworks, the prof gives you hints before it's due. I'd say this was a good python course for beginners, but you definitely get out of it what you put in. My only complaint was that there were just like 2-3 weeks on geography stuff using python, so most of it is just general coding.
