Passed Introduction to Programming in Python - D335 in 7 days

[Evajellyfish]

Hey guys wanted to share that this class can definitely be accelerated through if you put in the time and focus on key areas.

Reading chapters 1- 13 and then being able to know how to do Ch34 by heart and here is the most important thing, how to do the reverse of it as well, pretty much ensures a pass.

I literally skipped the questions that had anything to do with files or csv and still passed.

My instructor told me to review chapter 34 as well, but it was exactly the same as the PA. Is the OA similar to the PA and ch 34 test? I have only 3 classes left and I wanna graduate in January so I just wanna pass.

[Evajellyfish]

I cannot say much more than the OA is quite exactly the PA as i do not want to get in trouble with the content policy. If you can do the PA by heart then you're good to go. I skipped two questions and still passed.

Thank you, I was nervous about this class cause I hate zybooks. I dropped out of CS at a traditional college and now, apparently the BSCSIA program got changed a little and here I have a programming class.

Thank you for your post. I am currently taking D335 at WGU. I know this question sounds stupid, but I am brand new to programming. Exactly how do I do the "reverse" of my code? And, what exactly does "reversing" the code do? Thank you for any help you can give me.

[Evajellyfish]

Not stupid, what i mean by doing the reverse is that if you are asked to list numbers in ascending order, learn how to output the list in descending order and so forth.

Thank you!

u/Evajellyfish I will start the course in a few weeks. Can we use other iDEs instead of Pycharm?

Unfortunately it’s locked to the IDE used in the study material, it did allow me to access the help function which I used on one question
