flor Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Any online Python class you'd recommend? My child is already taking an AoPS online class, and enjoying it, but I think a different provider might be nice. Any online provider or MOOC you'd recommend? I'd like for it to be a good introduction but sort of geared for a non-computer science student (doesn't have to be super meaty). Please let me know. Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarynB Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) FundaFunda Academy has one: https://www.fundafundaacademy.com/product/python-programming/ Their classes are asynchronous but have weekly deadlines for accountability, with personalized grading, and access to help if your student happens to get stuck - in our experience, the responses were always very prompt.

ValRN Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Derek Owens converted his live Comp Sci class to an online format this school year. I believe it's Python...that's why DD was looking at it. However, he didn't get it switched over in time for us. DD had already enrolled in a DE comp sci course. DO has very good reviews for his math and sciences courses, so I'm sure this course is probably of the same quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie of KY Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 We like Derek Owens for math and he just opened up his Python class that he has taught live for years to online students. I don't know much about it as we haven't done it, but my son is interested in doing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoVanGogh Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 DS did AOPS Python class. I know you said you wanted to look into a different provider. But I wanted to say that we had a fabulous experience with their Python class and the feedback on each assignment was incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I don't know if they offer a Free course in Python, but Udemy offers this Free course in Java, which I am possibly going to enroll in. https://www.udemy.com/java-tutorial/ Possibly check around on Udemy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryam Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 My son’s into programming, so I asked him. He recommends: -Udactity (Intro to Python) -Lynda (they have a whole track for learning Python from beginning to end) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
