Hello,

i understand the content lecture but when i get to the practice labs i dont get it. when i signed up for this course it said it was for beginners. i had no previous knowledge on how to wright code, so when the labs came up i was lost. then i got to the hands on quiz and have no idea what i am doing. i went on youtube to try to learn a quick lesson on how to code (that gave me a bit better understanding) but now i don’t know where/how to start. I went back and re-watched the lectures, i looked at the hints and im not sure where to plug in my data. i dont want to quit, i really want to learn this but it seems like a foreign language to me. is there any side classes that can help me get a better understanding?

All machine learning courses assume you are a beginner in ML, but already have some Python programming experience.

A free online tutorial should cover what you need here.
