If you're one of those OMSCS students that have a very limited computing background, then this is the course for you. It teaches you the basics needed for programming in python. This class is basically programming 101 for Gatech and the fact that's it's made available to OMSCS students is amazing.

I'm one of those students who did not major in CS nor have I worked in the tech industry so my programming is pretty spotty. I was familiar with all the concepts thought in this course, but when it comes to programming, you need to constantly do it for it to stick and this course provides that. For OMSCS, tests and quizzes are not needed, only module assignments so I took this alongside another class and had no issues. Some weeks are busier than others though.

Seminars are relatively new so wish they were offered when I started OMSCS. Highly recommended if you have no programming experience or would like to brush up before taking actual programming classes.
