 What are we going to learn today?[edit]
- You are going to get back into the groove of thinking computationally
 What is your homework and when is it due ?[edit]
- No homework today
|
 What is the actual plan?[edit]
- We will check in with vacation
- We will take another look at our chess program, reviewing line by line how it works
- We will identify a few tasks you need to complete in this class
|
 Is this graded?[edit]
- You will have one job this class. I need to see progress towards completing our move function. See below:
<syntaxhighlight language="python">
def move(piece,destination):
# is piece valid?
# is destination valid (basic int 1 to 64)
# is the move valid for that piece?
# would the move place the king in check?
return
</ syntaxhighlight>

 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
