def most_courses(mydict): mc = 0 for valueM in mydict.values(): i = 0 for x in valueM: i += 1 if i > mc: mc = i for key, value in mydict.iteritems(): if value == valueM: teacher = key return teacher

teachers.py
# The dictionary will look something like:
# {'Andrew Chalkley': ['jQuery Basics', 'Node.js Basics'],
#  'Kenneth Love': ['Python Basics', 'Python Collections']}
#
# Each key will be a Teacher and the value will be a list of courses.
#
# Your code goes below here.
