We are going to test our understanding of strings (again).
Everyone will be required to submit an answer to a question on our class wiki, and hopefully start coding.

Apply analysis, design, and implementation techniques to solve problems (e.g., use one or more software lifecycle models).
Describe a software development process used to solve software problems (e.g., design, coding, testing, verification).
Describe how mathematical and statistical functions, sets, and logic are used in computation.

We will start with a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3aKKasOmIw
We will then hack through mean, media and mode in Python. Mean, median, mode and other statistical functions
We will then work on our design project

Students will receive a formative assessment for their problem set work. Please click here to see how you will be graded

We must work on our design project. Everyone is required to respond to Mr. MacKenty's feedback on the discussion page for your project. This homework is due at the start of our next class.

These are the characteristics every computer scientist works towards.

Confidence in dealing with complexity
Persistence in working with difficult problems
Tolerance for ambiguity
The ability to deal with open-ended problems
The ability to communicate and work with others to achieve a common goal or solution
