About Kenneth Love Kenneth Love

Kenneth has moved on to other opportunities, so as courses get refreshed, you'll see other teachers in them.

But while no single teacher's style will fit all students, it's only fair to mention that many of us (including Craig Dennis!) really appreciated Kenneth, and some occasionally posted praise for him here in the forum. For examples:

Kenneth is too smart for us mortals! i have to watch his videos several times.

Both Craig and Kenneth are great teachers, in fact i grew fond of kenneth more as he is trying hard to inject challenges to our learning material and honestly this is making me better at python.

I have moved on, but there is still tons of content and more on the way!

Oh man, you just don't know him yet. He is wonderful and hilarious, and one great teacher!

That said this course is next on the chopping block for refresh. Hope to not be boring!

It looks like Craig has moved on too and now works for Twilio as of January. We may be seeing new teachers. I like both Craig and Kenneth.

Though their styles were different, I also enjoyed them both. Thanks for the update, I'll miss Craig but I wish him success in his new ventures.

Kenneth talked way too fast for me, I had to slow down the speed just to take in what he was saying. Craig's lessons were a lot easier to follow. Craig also did a way better job of explaining the syntax and having us follow along in the workspace as we went along, not just showing up how to do it, but HAVING us do it along with him.

Was hoping to get the python course completely refreshed by him, but it looks like that may not happen if he's moved on. I actually felt a wave of relief hit me when I heard his voice in the game section of Python Collections.

If you think Kenneth is boring, you haven't tried many Python tutorials out there - he is scintillating compared to a lot of teachers and video makers. But, hey, all that really matters is that they get the message across effectively, and both Kenneth and Craig are great at that

You forgot to put quotes around the first string and to format your code with Markdown. :smirk:
