Course is very manageable if you practice. Most of the problems that students have arises when they have trouble learning the syntax of Python. However, the class revolves solving simple coding problems which were like solving puzzles. The only exception was the final project which was very hard.

Have someone walk you through downloading anaconda. Life was so much easier once I was able to use all the tools that VS Code and Anaconda had to offer. Do the practice problems and follow lectures, final project is no joke if you don't understand the material.

I highly recommend Professor Abrams. His lectures were more interesting and he was highly active on his email in response to questions.
