Editing Community Data Science Course (Spring 2016)/Day 1 Exercise (section)

== Goal #8: Practice Python using Codecademy ==

(Estimated time: 30 - 60 minutes)

It's time to use what we've learned in the tutorial and get some practice thinking about and solving problems in Python.

To give you this practice, we've created custom online practice problems just for this class, using a site called Codecademy!

Tonight, please visit the link below and complete the '''8 practice problems in the "Strings and choices" section'''. '''Go ahead and skip problem #4 ("Make HTML")'''. It's not a problem if you do it but we find that it's confusing and we'd prefer to skip it this time.

You don't have to create a Codecademy account to do the exercises, but if you do create an account it'll keep track of which problems you've completed and other statistics.
