Modeling Intro - Day 2
Notebook target: 02_triangle_function.ipynb
Agenda (80 minutes)
- 10 min - Team check-in and 02_triangle_function.ipynb goals
- 15 min - Shared discussion of 02_triangle_function.ipynb ideas and setup
- 45 min - In-class work on 02_triangle_function.ipynb in the modeling_intro repository
- 10 min - Progress review and next-step planning
Learning Goals
By the end of this class, you should be able to:
- Explain the main concepts from 02_triangle_function.ipynb.
- Make measurable progress toward completing 02_triangle_function.ipynb.
- Identify any carryover tasks so they can be closed without schedule risk.
In-Class Focus
Our minimum pacing target is one notebook per class day. Today, the target is to complete 02_triangle_function.ipynb discussion and core work.
Extra time is intentionally included. If 02_triangle_function.ipynb takes longer, we use this time now and keep the overall two-week plan on track.
Use class time to build and test your work in the shared repository:
- Repository: https://github.com/colbrydi/modeling_intro
If you finish 02_triangle_function.ipynb early, move directly to 03_Improving_Software.ipynb. Any progress you make now increases your buffer time later.
If your team finishes early, use extra time to help teammates, improve the shared library, and advance your individual project.
Before Next Class
- Push your latest 02_triangle_function.ipynb updates.
- Note any remaining 02_triangle_function.ipynb issues that need a short follow-up.
- Preview 03_Improving_Software.ipynb before the next class.
