Started teaching IT scripting in fall 21. I used Ubuntu 20 and Python 3 and follow Cisco Networking Academy Python Course which is mapped to Python Institute Certification PCAP. In summary, the curriculum cover a lot of materials which is not easy to cover in one semester. No power point is provided, the assignments are too hard for the student, they require thinking. The curriculum is not well written and some times hard to read. It may be a good idea to switch to a textbook starting out with Python written by Toni Gaddis.
