Modeling Intro - Day 3
Notebook target: 03_Improving_Software.ipynb
Agenda (80 minutes)
- 10 min - Check-in and 03_Improving_Software.ipynb goals
- 15 min - Shared discussion of 03_Improving_Software.ipynb approach
- 45 min - In-class work on 03_Improving_Software.ipynb in the modeling_intro repository
- 10 min - Team readiness check and wrap-up
Learning Goals
By the end of this class, you should be able to:
- Discuss and implement the main 03_Improving_Software.ipynb tasks.
- Clarify what is complete and what still needs final polish.
- Prepare your team for either wrap-up or one more catch-up day.
In-Class Focus
Our minimum pacing target is one notebook per class day. Today, the goal is to complete discussion and core work for 03_Improving_Software.ipynb.
If we need additional finishing time, we will use the next class as a built-in buffer so the course does not fall behind.
Most of class is working time in the shared repository:
- Repository: https://github.com/colbrydi/modeling_intro
If you finish 03_Improving_Software.ipynb early, use the extra time to close remaining items in any earlier notebook so the flex day can be used for higher-level project work.
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 03_Improving_Software.ipynb updates.
- List any remaining modeling_intro tasks that may need the buffer day.
- Be ready for a catch-up day or a project and deliverables discussion.
