Daily Note

Our first full week, yahoo!

Our big idea: 

  1. Programming knowledge and understanding

IF today IS  testing_day_for_me THEN remember to go get tested!

Our plan for the day: 

  1. Reminder: daily note
     
  2. We will review our homework. We are going to connect to repl.it. Please click here for the repl.it link. This will make it easier for you to see what I'm typing. You should copy the code from repl.it and paste it into visual studio code. 
     
  3. We will review: 
    1. Inputs and outputs
    2. Reading error messages in Python
    3. Variables
    4. Functions
    5. How cheat sheets can be very helpful
    6. Data types
       
  4. We will learn: 
     
    1. Slicing
    2. Selection (with a focus on comparision operators and the "in" keyword)
    3. Operators

Your homework for today: 

  1. Work through all of objective 4  from our Python guide 

 

Our Big idea

The big idea for today is Course orientation.

The essential questions for this topic are:

What do I need to know, understand and do to be prepared for this class?

It takes time to explore and really understand a big idea. If you want to
learn more about course orientation (which is connected to today's daily note), please click here .

We are learning this because as a designers must understand scientific and technical innovation. Designers use systems, models, methods, and processes to solve problems.
