These are the lesson notes for a class meeting. You will find links, homework, and other information about our class meeting here. If you missed a class, or you want to review what we did in a class, this is the right page for you!
Date[edit]
When was this lesson delivered?
April 4 2016
Objectives[edit]
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.
Explore[edit]
What kinds of hands-on/minds-on activities will we be doing?
- We will start with a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3aKKasOmIw
- We will then hack through mean, media and mode in Python.
- We will then work on our design project
Explain[edit]
What are some higher order thinking questions I will use to solicit explanations and help you to justify your explanations?
- how do you most efficiently sort through a data set to find the most frequently occurring number in a list?
Extend[edit]
How will you develop a more sophisticated understanding of the concept?
Evaluate[edit]
How will you demonstrate that you have achieved the lesson objective?
- students will receive a formative assessment for their problem set work. Please click here to see how you will be graded
Homework[edit]
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[edit]
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
Standards[edit]
- 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).
- Use collaborative tools to communicate with project team members (e.g., discussion threads, wikis, blogs, version control, etc.).
