I know that it has been long time since you have posted. But I did not want to leave you unanswered. I am sorry for you being offended. I apologize. I did not intend to do an ad hominem. Since you are not a woman poster, then I say you are a very nice man. Thank you for helping me.
My python class is over. I got 82 out of 100 with my final exam included in the calculation on top of the homework assignments. I realized that Stackoverflow, as you said, is a very helpful place if you know how to ask and how to please them. Besides, getting some python books and spending time on them can definitely help you understand and get good grades. I also came to the realization that relying only on the instructor, his/her slides and the internet is not a good strategy. You also should get books and study them. If you do not understand something in the book, you should definitely ask the thing that you do not understand and internalize the information.
Thanks again.
