Modeling Intro - Day 4
Agenda (80 minutes)
- 10 min - Team check-in and status decision
- 55 min - Catch-up notebook work or project and deliverables discussion
- 15 min - Team planning for transition to the next assignment
Learning Goals
By the end of this class, you should be able to:
- Close remaining modeling_intro notebook tasks if needed.
- Stay on schedule even if earlier notebook days required extra discussion time.
- Use extra time productively when core notebook work is complete.
In-Class Focus
This day is intentionally built as a buffer.
If notebook work is still in progress, use class time to finish discussion and implementation in the repository:
- Repository: https://github.com/colbrydi/modeling_intro
- Catch-up targets: 01_Model_Triangle.ipynb, 02_triangle_function.ipynb, 03_Improving_Software.ipynb
If notebook work is complete, use this session as a project-focused day to:
- Discuss project direction and upcoming deliverables.
- Help teammates understand difficult sections.
- Improve the shared library and documentation.
- Advance your individual project work.
If notebook work is not complete, continue in notebook order and move to the next notebook as soon as the current one is done. That pacing is what protects buffer time later in the schedule.
Before Next Class
- Ensure modeling_intro updates are pushed and documented.
- Confirm team priorities for the next assignment block.
- Capture one action item for your individual project.
