Session 11 — Start-the-Session videos

Instructions:

do the following:

  1. Check your own answers to the Before-the-Session quiz by watching the videos listed below.

    • Of course, do that Before-the-Session quiz BEFORE you watch the videos below that show a solution to it.

    • Check your answers carefully! They are KEY exercises that are critical to your understanding of how to implement a class.

    • If you have questions about any of the answers, GET HELP BEFORE PROCEEDING, by using Live Now! or other means.

    The videos with the solutions are:

    1. Solutions to Problems 1 through 5.

    2. Solutions to Problems 6 and 7.

    3. Solutions to Problems 8 and 9.

    For your reference, here is paper-and-pencil copy of the above Answer Key to the Before-the-Session quiz for Session 11.

  2. Turn in your answers to the Before-the-Session quiz in the usual way (on Moodle, via the item named Turn in your Before-the-Session quiz here.).

  3. Open PyCharm. Do:

    VCS ~ Update Project

    to obtain the new in-class project if it is not already in your PyCharm.

  4. Watch the “Follow me” videos listed below. As you watch each video:

    • Do the coding in PyCharm, following what you see on the video.

    • You can do the coding as the video does it or by reviewing the video afterwards (your choice).

    • The key is to UNDERSTAND what you are coding, not merely type what the video shows.

     

    The “Follow me” videos for this session are:

  5. You are ready to do the PyCharm exercises now. But remember:

    • For most problems, if you are still working on the problem after 5 (or at most 10) minutes on that problem:

      • STOP working on that problem.
      • Continue to the next problem.
      • Ask for help on the problem(s) that you did not complete.
    • We recommend that you do the coding when a meeting is open in the Live Now! channel of the CSSE 120 group in Microsoft Teams.

    • That way you can get INSTANT answers to your questions BEFORE you apply the concepts in the other modules in PyCharm.
