Which class to take, or both?

I'm already enrolled in the EdX/MIT 6.00.1x class. I also noticed Coursera has the "An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python" class starting October 7th.

I guess I'm just wondering which one I should pick, or would it be better to do both. I could see that leading to some confusion. Would it end up being too much of a workload?

As a reference, my programming knowledge isn't superb. I did BASIC and a little Pascal in High School, but haven't done much since short of dabbling in HTML/CSS.

I think their focus will be a bit different, and they are both from quality sources, so either or both would be good.  One advantage to taking both is that skill comes with practice and you will get more practice that way.  Another is that it is always good to hear what more than one person has to say on a topic.
