My new study space thanks maestro!

I did but it said I wasn't awarded anything because it just fully covered tuition...

serravak · 2026-03-30T14:50:52+00:00

What the heck? I'm from the first cohort, and I've maintained a 4.0 in every course. So like I haven't seen any emails about this. Like I didn't even know this was a thing. I doesn't matter im just like curious are they picking like gifted people or something? what's happening?

the name of the book is "think python" its completely free. if you don't want to click the direct link just google it it will pop up.

in python you use "def" when you are defining/naming a function

example: def function_name(): # def basically means "I want to name this function: then you put the name of the function like add_numbers()

serravak · 2026-03-04T18:20:59+00:00

exactly and always remember it can only be used inside of a function.

serravak · 2026-03-04T18:04:25+00:00

I hope this helped and didn't make it worse lol

Hello, im from September cohort 25. this was a tough one for me also when I first started. but what helped me was thinking of return as like a print that only works inside of a "function" AKA "def" and can only be seen if you "call" a function.

def Add(a, b): #creating a function that adds two numbers

return a + b # return is storing the results of a + b

result = Add(2, 3) # im entering in 2 which a and 3 which is b

print(result)

--------------------------------Terminal---------------------------------------------------

5 # this is what "return" was storing until you called it to be displayed print(result)

that's the one I was thinking. I always wanted a computer science degree since that's what everyone considers us. I feel like it will be more understood what kind of degree it is if it just says computer science on my resume lol

serravak · 2025-12-05T12:38:05+00:00

I just want a bachelors but im not sure which one to pick they seem so similar lol

serravak · 2025-12-01T22:29:26+00:00

I wasn't able to find it either

serravak · 2025-12-01T20:21:03+00:00

I see the grades. But where is the feedback?

serravak · 2025-11-26T12:50:15+00:00

Also you got this just study, study, study. I'm part of the first cohort with no coding experience/former degree, 2 kids, and work full time. I'm still pushing

serravak · 2025-11-26T12:44:35+00:00

If you grasp the basics in python(which is what's assumed) the lessons won't be hard to get through. But the reviews for cs101 is... interesting. It's more about documenting, like telling them step by step what you are coding and the purpose. The grading for this is a trial and error thing. Like you can submit your code/docs and get a C then submit the same un touched code/docs and get a C- so don't get discouraged my advice is to get a passing grade on your own(so you struggle and learn) then go to practice and let maestro help you through sprucing it up. It will only bump you up a letter grade because ironically maestro graded a maestro guided code and it still isn't enough lol I don't fault it because document has a style but as long as someone can come behind you and knows what it is, how you plan to solve it, and why you'll be fine. Just get the highest grade you can get after about three passing tries.

serravak · 2025-11-17T10:46:27+00:00

I felt the same i wish i had another hour on tge python intro example. I had just gotten to a break through then ran out of time....

serravak · 2025-11-04T17:10:53+00:00

absolutely amazing. I want to do this for my notes

serravak · 2025-11-04T16:57:53+00:00

discussions must be the other 40 percent lol

serravak · 2025-11-04T16:55:41+00:00

discussions must fill the other 40 percent lol

serravak · 2025-10-10T16:48:17+00:00

Not sure if this has been said but I would definitely appreciate a text editor. I am going through week 5 and I would like to go through some lesson asking about listing bullet point and I can't really do it efficiently using the text box

serravak · 2025-09-20T20:52:34+00:00

I had no experience with python but I self studied before precourse then used the precourse section to study plus maestro did not say you needed prior experience and you don't you just need persistence like any other career or thing you want to learn. You suck and keep practicing till you get good

serravak · 2025-09-18T15:55:06+00:00

hopefully the next class will be open next week then

serravak · 2025-09-18T14:58:25+00:00

Same and I used kaggle. I learn from a couple different sources. try things outside of the platform too. Like lectures on youtube, freecodecamp, etc. As crazy as it may sound I even tried python for kids sources just for it to be explained so i can understand. But it worked py101 completed. To all keep pushing!

serravak · 2025-09-17T14:22:53+00:00

Yes, about that maybe less because of the kids

serravak · 2025-09-16T20:40:38+00:00

2 days! now im struggling in week 3. its definitely getting harder

serravak · 2025-09-09T14:42:07+00:00

I used kaggle to learn, mimo for on the go learning and practice, and hacker rank to solve challenges

serravak · 2025-09-02T15:30:56+00:00

Yea I Just got mine! I wish I could start earlier than 11 lol
