Video Review

Amigoscode

An all-in-one video with timestamps in the comment for Python programming.

CS Dojo

General Python information, as well as other content on his channel!

Clever Programmer

Another all-in-one video; kind of more of a traditional “Youtuber” style.

Additional Practice

Here are resources for additional practice, each with solutions. These are available if you want to try them; there’s no need to submit them.

Basic Practice Problems

PYnative

These problems are pretty straightforward ways to get used to the basics of Python programming.

Word Problems

w3resource

For problems more like the ones I ask on the homeworks, this site gives you more vague instructions about what to do with your program, and you have to practice interpreting it.

Challenge Problems

These problems go beyond the material we cover in class and introduce additional concepts and tools in Python that may be of interest to you.
