I am new to computer
programming, am not a Computer Science student. The only other
programming course I've taken is CSC108, so Python is the first and
only language I am familiar with. This has its positive aspects -
it seems that some of my classmates who are used to coding in other
languages sometimes find it difficult to adjust to the ideosyncrasies
of Python. The challenge I am facing at the moment, having to do
with the switch from writing functions to using classes and methods
is the dot notation. I find that for now it helps to remember that I
usually get things backward (instead of object.method, I say
method.object), so I should write the opposite of what I think I
should write, like George Costanza:

Sometimes, the
multitude of 'self' in writing classes is also confusing, but I think
I'm starting to get used to it.
