Work through Chapter 1
of the Hands-on Python Tutorial. Caution:
Do not judge your progress through the chapter just by the number of
pages you have read or minutes of video! The exercises and the more
difficult parts of the chapter are clustered at the end!
Here is the list of
files you need to make sure are included when you turn in your Chapter 1 work.
If you saved this work under some other name, please rename as I specify below.
The point distribution for the problems is also shown. To receive
full credit on a program, it needs to run correctly, as written. Run and
check carefully!
For simplicity, please
submit into the Ch1Tutorial Sakai assignment just a single zip file that
includes these files. Remember to include information about help you
received and gave in individual files.
I suggest you just keep
your specially named exercise files in with all the example files. When it is
time to submit exercise files, here is the process in Windows:
1.
Open the examples folder
(or the folder where you have the files).
2.
Look at the list of
required files in this homeworkand select them all carefully
(Control-click on each one).
3.
Be careful not to do a
plain regular left-click. Instead right click on
the selected files, and in the popup menu choose Send To --> Compressed
(zipped) folder
4.
A zip file should be
created based on the name of the file your mouse was over when you right clicked.
5.
Upload that zip file
into the Blackboard assignment.
In addition, every individual should separately submit the following log in the Assignment box on Sakai. Your homework grade
will not be recorded without this log! Include in the log:
1.
Areas where you received
help other than from your partner. Include from whom (me, TA, which
tutor), and the extent.
2.
Roughly how long you
worked for Chapter 1 beyond class time.
3.
Briefly, what was the
hardest part to get, how did it go for you ...
4.
Who your partner was if
you had one, or "No partner" If you changed partners, indicate
which files were produced with which partner, if possible.
5.
If you had a partner,
give an indication of how things went with your partner. Was working
together a good thing? How did your partner help? How did you help your
partner? How did it go?
If you worked with a
consistent partner through the whole chapter, only one of you needs to submit
the archive, but make sure each partner has their own copy! Each student should
separately submit an independently written log.
