Editing Intro to Programming and Data Science (Fall 2023) (section)

== Lectures ==

Our class time will follow the "flipped" classroom model. I will provide asynchronous materials (readings, recorded lectures, assignments, etc.) which you will work on before class and we will use our class time to review concepts, identify confusion, and synthesize.

The class sessions will typically follow the same format. 

On Tuesdays, we will review the Coding Challenges that were due. Those who were assigned will explain how they solved (or didn't solve!) each problem.

On Thursdays, we will begin by discussing the reading for the day, with discussions generally led by a student. We will then have a discussion about the concepts that are still confusing. Next, we will have optional co-working time to start on the next assignment. That means that you should watch the next week's lecture before Thursday, so you are ready to go. All of the videos are [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP6zcrJrVWgceJzuIE6k-cYr3IZJBnMJ4 in this playlist].

I try to make the classes useful and to tailor them to the needs of the students, and I highly encourage you to attend as many of our sessions as possible. My teaching style is very conversational and relies on students being willing to speak up to express confusion, seek clarification, or make a well-informed point, so please participate!
