I'm working on the OD python course as well... its not the best resource for learning python, but the videos are ok. The quizzes sometimes ask questions about material they didn't touch on, which makes it more difficult and some video tutorials contradict each other since they patch together the program from different sources. I may come back to the course after learning python elsewhere. So far, quiz scores are around an 80% with exams, because they didn't teach some of the info they quiz you on.
Since OD is free, its hard to complain. What I use to learn coding:
coursera (its helpful to sign up to get feedback and ask questions about the practice exercises)
commonlounge - small annual fee, lots of exercises and a full list of cs/tech topics to study, they have a mentor feedback option
W3resource/W3schools - free, teaches all the coding languages, lots of practice exercises and solutions available
udemy - some courses include lots of exercises, you have to search
books - sometimes just a good intro book is more than all you need
youtube - great tutorials and examples
skillshare - they also have a number of coding tutorials, not many exercises though
