Essentials

• Class is a Twitch stream. You can watch it for up to two weeks after the stream airs.

• Recommendation: use repl.it for Python. It will save your work if you make an account.

Classwork

Assignments: there are a few problems every day (3-5). The are posted in Google Classroom in a shared Google Doc. Please make sure your program runs before you submit it!

Submitting work. Mark the assignment complete after doing one of the choices below.

• (choice #1) copy and paste the code in as a private comment
• (choice #2) paste the link to your repl.it as a private comment
• (choice #3) do the work in a google doc and attach it for the assignment

Asking Questions

During class, you can ask a question about your code by just pasting the link to your “repl” into the chat and typing your question. This requires a twitch account (optional).

Not comfortable posting publicly or don’t want to make an account? You can email doc mo (amauer-oats at cps dot edu). Include: link to your code, description of what is wrong (what do you see and what do you want to see).

A lot of people skip spelling out the details when asking a question. It’s much less obvious what the problem is when someone has not seen every step of the way. The more you say exactly what you expect and what you see, the easier and faster you will get help. Include the error message that you get if that’s part of the problem.

Sometimes people don’t know how to start. It really helps if you can make a guess based on a problem looking like something else we did in class. Share the guess as a starting point so I will know what you are thinking. Otherwise the “help” is going to be “look at problem 2 from yesterday”… which you have probably done and actually you have a more specific question about how to use that idea. The more you try the easier it is to help.
