Modeling Intro - Day 1
Notebook target: 01_Model_Triangle.ipynb
Agenda (80 minutes)
- 10 min - Check-in and goals for today
- 20 min - Guided discussion of 01_Model_Triangle.ipynb concepts and workflow
- 40 min - In-class work on 01_Model_Triangle.ipynb in the modeling_intro repository
- 10 min - Wrap-up and blocker check
Learning Goals
By the end of this class, you should be able to:
- Understand and discuss the key ideas in 01_Model_Triangle.ipynb.
- Make concrete progress in 01_Model_Triangle.ipynb implementation or review.
- Document what is complete and what still needs follow-up.
In-Class Focus
Our minimum pacing target is one notebook per class day. Today, the target is to finish discussion and core work for 01_Model_Triangle.ipynb.
Class time is intentionally flexible. If we need more discussion or finishing time, we will use it now so we do not fall behind later.
Most of class time is dedicated to hands-on work in the shared repository:
- Repository: https://github.com/colbrydi/modeling_intro
If you finish 01_Model_Triangle.ipynb early, start 02_triangle_function.ipynb right away. Finishing early now creates more time later in the schedule.
If your team finishes early, use extra time to help teammates, improve the shared library, and make progress on your individual project.
Before Next Class
- Push your latest 01_Model_Triangle.ipynb updates.
- Write a short note about any unresolved 01_Model_Triangle.ipynb questions.
- Preview 02_triangle_function.ipynb before the next class.
