What are we going to learn today? we are going to test your understanding of simple math and loops in python. The loop part will be tricky. Everyone will be required to submit an answer to a question on our class wiki, and hopefully start coding.	Want to go further? how do you most efficiently sort through a data set to find the most frequently occurring number in a list?
What is the actual plan? 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	Is this graded? Students will receive a formative assessment for their problem set work. Please click here to see how you will be graded
What is your homework and when is it due ? 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.	As a computer scientist, you have 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
