python-summer-school's Introduction

Programming in Python

This repository is used for the course Programming in Python for the Amsterdam Summer School 2018 and 2019. Part of the course is based on the course Python for Text Analysis.

Learning Python

The course teaches all the core concepts of programming to students using Python 3. All lectures are interactive lectures where both lecturers and students work in Python Notebooks. Students can install Jupyter or install Anaconda which is an IDE that comes with Jupyter.

Content taught in this course:

  • Variables
  • Operators
  • Type affordance
  • I/O operations
  • Control flow (if/elif/else, for, while)
  • Strings
  • Lists
  • Functions
  • Local/global
  • Generators

Assignments

Students will be graded based on 3 individual assignments.

All assignments will be graded on the correctness (does the code work?) and the style (does the code look good?). Assignments will not be posted in this repository but on the Canvas.

Aim

After this course, students should have an understanding of the core principles of programming, and be able to write small programs themselves.

python-summer-school's Issues

Assignments Feedback

Iterable Class

  • Not sure when discussion of classes/objects is planned in the syllabus, but some understanding of the basics would probably be required before tackling this slightly more complex example.
  • Also, I'm not sure what the purpose of the 'start' and 'stop' arguments are - it seems to me that once the instruction 'start' is given, unless the class is multithreaded, passing 'stop' will not be possible until the 'start' instruction is already finished.
    • Perhaps 'start', 'step' and some kind of 'go to n' instruction make more sense.

Decorators

  • Along with the iterators, I get the impression that these topics might require a bit more understanding from the students than the others - maybe leaving them for the more advanced students is best?

Functional Programming Basics

  • I think these would be well suited to the end of the first week after the students have seen non-functional functions first
    • If discussion of lambdas is not directly planned, perhaps questions about this topic can be left for the advanced students again?

Remainder

  • The rest of the questions all seem fairly simple, which is good - I think almost all of them could be attempted by every student without too many issues
