As a kind suggestion, you might want to consider using slightly better names than "arg", "key", and "value" as these don't give the code reader any indication what the variable represents and contains.
I would suggest the "arg" variable would be better named "topics", and "key" be "course_name", and "value" be "course_topics". The reader of the code would easily understand your intention.
def covers(arg):
subject = []
for key, value in COURSES.items(): # here iterate over courses key, values
if arg & value:
subject.append(key)
return subject
def covers_all(arg):
subject = []
for key, value in COURSES.items():
if value.issuperset(arg): # checks if "value" is a superset of arg
subject.append(key)
return subject
