Merciless Beekeeper

2020-12-12

So, I've started the latest online class. The instructor is from England and has a resonable pleasant accent and understandable speech. The explanations of the various techniques are not really "fleshed-out" as well as you might think for a beginner class. Some things really need many more steps and a series of repetitive examples and writing tasks to fully understand. Instead, I feel like the approach is:

• This is a car. It has 4 wheels. This is how you start the car using this key.
• Now, I want you to rebuild the carburetor, change the transmission from a 4-speed manual to automatic and add sport styling to the body. You have 10 minutes.

I'm obviously exagerating (a little) and can't complain too much since the course is not expensive, but it's not as helpful as I'd like, even after having been exposed to Python courses in the past.
