I ended up getting 68.75% in the course, so I'm going to take it again in three months unless we confirm that the Study.com Intro to Programming will transfer to TESU. The big problem I had was that early on in the course I got bad grades on the quizzes and couldn't figure out why because they don't tell you. There are some very bad ambiguous questions, too where you have to be careful not to overthink things. Some of the stuff on the final test I didn't remember seeing at all and some of the questions I just didn't get what they were asking.
There was one quiz in the middle of the course where they let you see what you get wrong. The things that throw me about the quizzes is that they say stuff like, "Should you ALWAYS do blah, blah ..." The problems with questions like those is that you might be able to think of exceptions and good reasons why the answer isn't what they intended, so ... This is the first course that I have EVER failed. I did get a few D's in my freshman year, but that was more an issue of time management.
That being said, I liked the course despite the long rambling videos, but they didn't even offer a study guide for the test. My own study guide didn't help me much and I took a lot of notes throughout the course (except for the very beginning).
If you already know how to code in Python, I think you should be able to breeze through it. I'm more of a Javascript developer, but I also know how to code in assembly.
