DESCRIPTION

This course will be online-only. I will be providing online workshop material in the form of web pages and other resources. The material is arranged into weekly sets of topics. Coursework will consist of weekly homeworks and a final project. Collaboration on homeworks and projects is not permitted.

For questions about the course please contact me by my email or Teams.

EXPECTATIONS

Basic knowledge of Microsoft Windows 10/11 and Linux.

No prior experience with Python is required.

FINAL PROJECTS

A list of suggested projects subjects will be given later. A typical project should include computations, file management, and data visualization. You should choose your final project in the middle of the semester. The final result of the project is the Python code and the short documentation (PDF, HTML, TXT, or README.md file).
