Perfectly okay as a course to show me the difference between Python and other programming languages I know. I would have been stuck at several points if this was my first lesson on programmming, and with no model answers would not have been able to work out what I had done wrong without a lot of time and anxiety. This free course is not up to the usual quality of the OUs courses either free or paid for.
