Daily Note

 

  1. We will review our big ideas from our last class. 

     
  2. We will look at the difference between executing interpreted code and compiled code.
     
    #include <stdio.h>
    int main() {
       // printf() displays the string inside quotation
       printf("Hello, World!");
       return 0;
    }


     
  3. We will start thinking about computational thinking; we'll start with this video
     
  4. We will cover procedural thinking
    1. Please look at lines 637 to 670 and create a hypothesis; what do you think these lines of code do?
       
  5. We will cover evaluating processes
     
  6. If you are an experienced python programmer:
    1. please start with this problem set (please make sure your teacher checks your work before moving on to the next problem set)
    2. please work the email validator problem set (please make sure your teacher checks your work before moving on to the next problem set)
    3. please work the calculator problem set (please make sure your teacher checks your work before moving on)

       
  7. If you are a new python programmer, please begin working through objective 1 and objective 2 from this document
    1. We will learn about IDE's 
    2. We will learn to read a pythion exception message
       
  8. We will review our learning

 

 

Statement of Inquiry

The big idea for today is Course orientation.

The essential questions for this topic are:

What do I need to know, understand and do to be prepared for this class?

It takes time to explore and really understand a big idea. If you want to
learn more about course orientation (which is connected to today's daily note), please click here .

We are learning this because as a designers must understand scientific and technical innovation. Designers use systems, models, methods, and processes to solve problems.
