Is the course that I enrolled in too difficult for someone who has no prior coding experience?

And you were given a clear story that indicates the issue isn't the worked involved, but the understanding needed to solve the problem. This is a beginner subreddit for people looking to learn, not a place for you to shit on people looking for guidance. You are writing like OP dragged you out of bed looking for help. Everyone else offered solutions and here you are at the bottom just being asinine.

This isn't a beginner program, and while not impossible, it's not a good lesson for someone with little to no experience and is going to do more harm than good. Taking a course involves hard work, yes, but it's more about finding a way to convey the subject material in respect to who the class was designed for. This is a community college class that essentially offloaded all its students to a udacity course instead of designing the course around their own program curriculum.

Either you didn't read what OP had to say or you jumped to conclusions. You probably have experience and insight to offer, but no one will ever listen to you or take what you have to say seriously if you can't differentiate between someone for asking for help and someone looking to be give answers. This case was clearly the former. Responses like this serve no purpose in /r/learnprogramming - you don't have to make an eloquent and well cited post that answers every detail of a question, but you really don't need to tear down new programmers looking for advice either. Learning something new isn't always easy. Don't make it harder.
