Here’s your roadmap for the semester! Note: this will inevitably change throughout the semester as we develop the course together. Please visit this page regularly throughout the semester.
Overview
The class is structured with three distinct bits. On Tuesday I will provide an overview of the topic for the week. On Thursday we will work through a hands-on example to gain programming experience. Finally, each week outside of class you will complete readings and labs (and other assignments later in the semester).
-
Content (): This page contains readings, guiding questions, and lecture slides for each topic.
-
Examples (): This page contains the material that we will cover in Thursday classes.
-
Assignments (): This page contains the instructions for completing assignments.
tl;dr:
You should follow this general process each week:
- Do readings listed on the content page before Tuesday
- Tuesday: come to class
- Thursday: come to class, where we will work through examples
- Work on the lab before the next Tuesday’s class, attending office hours as needed
- Monday: submit lab on canvas by 11:59pm
