Refer to Canvas for the link to create a repo for your first assignment.

• Experiment with python and post your work in your repo.
• Post examples from class, problem set solutions, and your own experimentations.
• Post often for maximum points.

A coding evaluation is a self-evaluation submitted by each student. Summarize your coding contributions in GitHub for the current problem set. I will compare your evaluation with your actual postings in GitHub and assign a grade. If you do not submit an evaluation, you will not receive any points for your coding contribution. Coding Evaluation Weight 6 points each Three Quizzes Each quiz will be based on homework questions. It will have questions that are similar to questions from the homework. Quiz Weight 20 points each Three Exams Each exam will have practical and theoretical problems, as well as coding in python. Exam Weight 40 points each Grading Scale The grade for the course will be based on the following scale. The scale is based on the sum of your scores on the coding evaluations, quizzes and exams.
