Python continues.
This week was review- the first day of class was a set of labs that was
exclusively review-focused, the second a review project. We re-focused on “if”s, “for”s and “while”s.
The exercises continued to be random, creating a break from the
heat index-focused exercises of the start of Python. The lab was a collection of random
stuff. The project was more focused; it
created an exponential population growth simulator, including graphics. I have not finished the project; it appears
we will, however, have two of three days next week to work on it. (The problem is with the graphics- those keep
failing. I’m not sure why, as graphics
is the part of Python that makes the least intuitive sense to me by far.)
Beyond that, there isn’t much to report. We’re staying the course, albeit certainly
speeding up some. (Speeding up is common
to many classes; the reason is usually that teachers expect the students to
remember everything they’ve learned as well as on the day they learned it,
which is true near the beginning of the year but an exaggeration towards the
end.)
