Connect4 Game

gubhaus (11)
I'm working on an assignment using classes to create a Connect4 game. The classes themselves were created by my teacher and I only have programmed the main function. I am having trouble getting the game to work properly however. My game seems to play twice for the human, placing a two pieces at one time in the column that the user chooses. Any help is appreciated.
