=== Weekly Coding Challenges ===

:'''Due Date:''' Sundays at 11:59 p.m. on most weeks.
:'''Turning in:''' Upload your <code>.ipynb</code> files to [https://github.com/kayleachampion/spr23_CDSW the class Github repository] for the specific week

Most weeks I will give you all a set of weekly coding challenges before the end of class that will involve changing or adding to code that I've given you as part of the projects in the final parts of class to solve new problems.  We expect you to make substantial progress on your weekly assignment each week and we expect that many or most of you will have (mostly) working solutions or at least some code code for every single problem. These coding challenges will be turned in but will not be graded on effort, not on full correctness. They will be graded as ''complete/incomplete''.

I will share my solutions to each of the coding challenges via email. As you will see over the course of the quarter, there are many possible solutions to many programming problems and my own approaches will often be different than yours. That's completely fine! Coding is a creative act!

Please do not share answers to challenges before midnight on Sunday on the night before class so that everybody has a chance to work through answers on their own. After midnight on Sunday, you are all welcome and encouraged to share your solutions and/or to discuss different approaches.  We will discuss the coding challenges at the beginning of each class.

Our plan is to ''randomly'' select folks each day of class and ask you to share your answer to one or more specific problems with the rest of the class. Everybody in the class will be "in the mix" for being called upon every time we select a person and we may call you more than once in a class. When you are called, we will pull up the code you wrote for your homework on the projector and ask you to walk us through and explain your choices in your work on the program challenges.
